Yes this currently only integrates with Mailchimp. Although it should be simple enough to make it such that it generates an email that is sent to your 'broadcast address' which should work across newsletter providers.
Great thought! Context truly is important, the idea we were going for was that you might be used to seeing a certain logo/color on your monitor so you would just try to guess that color hue again. Also we tried to make the algorithm somewhat lenient to take into account the different calibrated monitors.

Also keep in mind this was just built in 24 hours at a hackathon, tons of things we can and will do better! Thanks again!

Help me out here please.

One would think that any VC's absolute core, essential, vital skill would be "read between the lines", "see through", "smell the stuff"? So they can pick the best investments regardless of the pitch. Like having a sixth sense. If you can't do that, what good are you investing?

But no. Sometimes I feel that even YC is become pitching contest, not startup contest. Countless on stories here on how to act, say things, what to wear, what to do etc. Is it really come to that, that even PG picks best pitches, not best idea/teams. If yes, why do you bother to apply? If no, why do you bother to polish the pitches?

I have hired lot of people to work for my small businesses througt the years. I have always read between the CV lines, thrashed the "best" ones and picked "worst" ones, they all turned out great workers. So?
What I mean by win is that they will wind up becoming the dominant technology with the lion's share of the market, revenue, and other companies building on top of. The also ran technology may survive, but it becomes relatively insignificant.

For example compare the Mac vs Microsoft Windows. The Mac was better, had better product margins, etc. Microsoft was the commodity and completely owned the market.

For other historical examples compare VMS vs Unix, Lisp vs C, OSI protocols vs TCP/IP, Smalltalk vs Java, traditional client-server vs web apps, CORBA vs SOAP (vs JSON rpcs), Perl vs PHP, and so on. In many cases the losing technology was technically much nicer to work with. But the winning technology won.

For a famous essay reflecting on why, see http://www.jwz.org/doc/worse-is-better.html from the Lisp vs C war.
So I get downvoted for saying that this kind of thing scares me. I clicked the link and read the article, if you read the article correctly yourself then you would realise that this isn't an event that happens precisely every 150 years. There's nothing stopping this event happening again next year... Ever heard the weather experts say something along the lines of, "This is a 75 year weather event" or "100 year weather event" it just means the odds of it happening again are slim, not impossible but slim.

The HN community has really deteriorated as of late. People down voting comments for no warranted reason, this site is starting to become Digg...

All the large tech companies (Public) made the first 100+ employees "rich" by getting them to work for them. "Rich" compared to their peers who did not work at these companies early on. "Wealthy", now that's completely different. You will find that of the 1201 (Mar 2011) billionaires, only 28 worked for someone else.

Sounds more like someone at the target end trying to explain something they don't understand by blaming it on something they've heard of which might be related.
They beat their own estimates, but analysts are proven to be wrong all the time and the make up some numbers which don't reflect what really happens.
No, you're right. I'm not a lawyer either, and Padmapper is definitely in a tough position. I'm mostly arguing against the characterization of Padmapper as "stealing content." Most people here seem to think that Padmapper is in the wrong and it's only a question of whether they can get away with it.

AFAICT, Padmapper is doing something very much in line with what journalists and search engines have traditionally done. That point of view may not prevail in court, but I think it's completely defensible on ethical grounds.

We're Android-only developers and we're doing fine. Piracy was around long before smart phones so you gotta know how to work with it.

We expect piracy of our apps and priced them accordingly. Our users pay the $2 simply for the ease of automatic updates & notifications. If you pirate the app you'll always be a version (or 15) behind and have to keep up on your own. If it's worth it, you clearly need the $2 more than us. Kewl.

For something you want to seriously scale, you have to do it for free anyway. It's still land rush for new markets. Nothing's changed there.
"except that plenty of government money is available to people who are looking for the 'right' answers."

From the outset, you've flagged that you subscribe to the 'global warming conspiracy'. That a global conspiracy of scientists are co-ordinating a disinformation campaign to justify and increase funding. I mean, seriously, it's just absurd.

Although I think that sentence of yours brings the absurdity to new heights. Because why on earth would a government want scientists to give 'right' answers which have massive economic and social implications, and not in a good way? Your mental model of this issue really does not seem well thought out.

Your refutation of the scientific consensus on this topic is bizarre (you seem to think that the consensus is based on an 'unscientific online poll'!) Here's what the consensus actually looks like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_c...

I certainly agree with you that funding on any research should be blind, but the practicality of that in many situations means it's an idealistic position.

Dashboard is interesting as it seems like such a toy but can actually run almost anything behind the scenes, an example:

I had created a service that used distributed dashboard components to monitor mentions of you or your brand online.

Each widget had a ruby script that ran behind the scenes to do the actual checking against various RSS sources (both for that user and others) creating a really sweet distributed system for the service.

I make most my living doing stuff for wedding photographers. I also know Gary (the guy in the video) a bit—he does a good job calling out some charlatans in the industry.

Digital photography, social media, cheap equipment/software and a bad economy have brought a lot people in the industry. They try to make some extra cash with their Costco camera by shooting a wedding and handing over the files.

I hear/see all sorts of crazy things: no contracts, no backing up of files, stealing others' images for their portfolio, no backup gear/insurance, doing unsafe things with babies, not paying taxes, and then lying about how much money they make so they can do workshops for other photographers.

I think much of it comes from people who don't treat it like a full-time business and career.

I still get to sell them websites and software but sometimes I feel like the industry is imploding.
You don't even have to launch Calculator, you can just type mathematical expressions directly into Spotlight, and it will immediately display the result.
Very nice and easy to use. One nice thing would be to be able to have:

- the ability to change some of the assumptions, for example, 2% return on the savings is not what I have in my records for the past 10 years.

- a small pie/stacked graph with where the money is going each month. 25% for mortgage, 25% for expenses, xx% for taxes, etc. This would provide a "fast check" for visual people.

I would love to have such tool for the German market :)

I use it for iStatPro and for the sticky notes feature. Those two thins are actually pretty useful for me. The calculator is typically useless though, and I've never found anything else that can't be solved quicker by just typing it into an address bar to put on there.

Seems like "Who Made Who" by AC/DC would be appropriate here since it was done for the soundtrack of "Maximum Overdrive," a Steven King movie about the machines taking over.
I tried this feature and couldn't get it to work. I have a (last-gen) airport express and also a mac htpc running airfoil speakers.

I can play to both through iTunes or Airfoil but no audio comes through when using the airplay audio out device. Hopefully this will be addressed soon.
It's a joke they still haven't fixed the fullscreen feature rendering your second monitor useless. I can't understand why they did it that way and why it hasn't been fixed already.
There is tons (literally) of evidence that evolution is real, from a wide range of independent, disparate sources.

Here's one: the fact that volcanic islands, which have land that has been historically only accessible to birds, have a number of bird species that have filled ecological niches normally filled by rodents.

Here's another: you can see in the fossil record progressive changes. Sure, there are missing links, but try coming up with an explanation that fits the islands fact (above) as well as this one. In addition, have it explain, in a way that permits further predictions, 10 other otherwise independent sources of evidence.
Improvements to the First Time Sign-up Flow
This situation, where a lawyer uses the financial threat of having to deal with the legal process (little to no cost for the lawyer, great cost and risk for the defendant) to win a highly questionable lawsuit for his (the lawyer's) personal gain is highly disturbing - speaking as a non-lawyer.

It's bullying, plain and simple. Carreon is another example, and I'm sure there are thousands of such threats made a month that we don't hear about.

I think that this is a complete abuse of the power that is given to the attorney and should result in disbarment.
Really nice! I love the concept.

Can you make the slider (move me) and the category names (bestsellers, recent-in-fiction etc..) a fixed/floating bar on the page? As I scroll below / load more to view more books, I sometimes forget what category I am looking at and if I need to switch to another one.

Your other points (if I can be that generous) are meaningless, so I'll leave them alone.
I agree completely. My point is that when I'm talking to entrepreneur types this sort of talk is shorthand for how I describe the company's potential.
On Lion machines, using the keyboard shortcuts (ctrl/cmd+1/2/3/4), switching spaces is well under a second (my guess would be 500~750ms). From MC (which takes again less than a second to enter), entering a space is more in the 750~1000ms range but still, I don't know where you get that 2~3s figure.

This may help, although I found too fast an animation makes me dizzy after a while.

Wow, none of those really jumped out at me as killer features. That said, I was happy with my upgrade to Snow Leopard, I think it was, when most of the new features were behind the scenes speed/stability/security fixes.

Also, off topic, but is the narrator John C. Reilly!?
Major scientific institutions don't get funding for saying "Things seem to be going ok right now", they get funding for saying "Things are screwed up, here's why, and we think we can fix it". I say this as someone who works at a major scientific institution.
Well, there's also wireless. Clear is going to compete with Cable/DSL with 4G. If 3G/4G is good enough to power the mobile explosion currently threatening PCs, it will be good for home use, especially at the competitive prices and terms offered by Clear.
I like the idea of periodically taking a break from Googling or always knowing a fact. For me doing crosswords is a great exercise in this, sure you could Google the clues and know right away, but its much more satisfying wondering the answer yourself and eventually getting it by using other letters gained from different clues.

However, if this became the de facto standard way of doing things, living as our ancestors did, I feel like society would regress. The invention of the search engine was to fill a human need to organize the world's digital information in an easily retrievable format. Libraries have had card catalogs for hundreds of years: just curious, would you argue for going back to the times that pre-date those systems? Sure there might be a more random discovery of books just aimlessly walking through shelf after shelf, but what if you needed that book asap?

String#each missing in Ruby1.9.X so what?
"Under the hood"? Not really. There are a few nifty new APIs – SceneKit, NSXPCConnection, NSUserNotification, the sharing stuff – and the 64-bit kernel (with kernel ASLR) is now the default. Regarding user-visible features, I think there are a couple nice ones:

- AirPlay mirroring is slick, especially in meeting situations

- Document auto-save and versioning are a lot less annoying and more useful

- Improved sharing support can be quite useful in many situations

- Calendar and Contacts suck less

- Gatekeeper is, I honestly believe, a solid step forward in improving system integrity and security

- iCloud sucks less and is better integrated into some system apps

- You are now notified of both system and app updates, and update checks happen daily. I think this is huge for app developers

- Preview has support for entering text in text fields of PDF documents which aren't true PDF forms (this honestly might be my single favorite Mountain Lion feature)

For $20, I think this is a solid "polish" upgrade. There's nothing mind blowing, but there's an incredible amount of polish across the system, with a few truly useful features mixed in. For me? Money well spent.

In one corner, we have lawyers, lobbyists, and political groups whose sole mission is to cast fear, uncertainty, and doubt over claims of anthropogenic climate change. Every day they prevent action on CO2 emissions is another X $million made.

In the other corner we have people whose entire professional life is predicated on being right and carefully and systematically proving each other wrong. People who have repeatedly explained the basic physical mechanism by which CO2 acts as a greenhouse gas, and shown that (and how) it accumulates in the atmosphere.

You seem to prefer trusting the lawyers, lobbyists, and political groups over the people whose entire culture is based in reasoned argument, systematic research, precision, accuracy, and integrity. I don't know why any reasonable person would do this.
Internet Issues & Bellsouth Customer Support
Wouldn't that apply equally to almost all scientific research being conducted? Just about everybody has some result they're hoping for. This sounds more like bias on your part ("They could be exaggerating, and I'd like them to be, so I'll make the leap from mere possibility to certainty") than a fact-based analysis of the climate scientists' research.
Here is a better TL;DR. Apple, missed average estimates for most of the reported values for iPhone, Mac, EPS, revenues and profit margin, but beaten its own guidance, which is usually quite low. The stock price was down over 5% after markets.

Most articles blame the next iPhone for the lower than expected sales. So In 1 year there are 4 quarters, and in the last 2 quarters misses on estimates are explained by rumours for the next iphone, this year and last year. Finally, will the current quarter also be worse for iPhone due next release approaching?

Analysts; please be clever enough to take care of new releases in your estimates.
> zero climate scientist salaries depend on global warming being true. That's just not how or why academic researchers get paid. They push the "agenda" because that's the model the data supports.

The ClimateGate e-mails show otherwise. They show the warmist mafia conspiring to spike publication of contrary research.

If you can't get published, you don't get very far in academia.

And then there's the whole "I won't share my data because they'll use it to try to prove me wrong" thing.

Google Will Kill the SEO?
Everyone keeps saying this, but I think it's FUD. They've fixed the main gripe with Lion's full screen: not being able to full screen an app on the monitor of your choice (as opposed to the main monitor only).
Why is the second monitor useless? I'm sure you can still drag app windows to it and interact with them.

edit: You can drag child windows of the full-screened app to the second monitor. The whole point of the full-screen mode is to isolate the app and give it exclusive focus. For everything else, there's the zoom button.
Could rebranding OSX to OS10 be in preparation for OS11? OSXI doesn't sound or look as good as OS11 to me. They're also almost out of large cats...

The time for OS11 is rapidly approaching. OSX has evolved substantially since its release, but is still very much the same OS. If Windows 8 is a fundamental leap (that doesn't lead to a face-plant) then OSX might soon be in the same position as OS9 was after Win95 came out. Is there another NeXTSTEP somewhere out there for Apple to buy?
