Copy & paste from a friend who called this over 2 weeks ago: "12/3/13 >Free pussy riot! >But I hear he's giving them amnesty. Khordokovsky too. All hail Putin!" Look for Pussy Riot to be the next to be rel

Cool video - nice touch adding the dog at the end:) Just curious, how long did it take to integrate the basic Leap API into your app? Does it have built in gesture recognizers like iOS or do you have to "roll your own"?

I spent the $1.99 it and found it to be well worth it. This review at cultofmac.com pretty much sums it up for me: "Unbound Is The Best Dropbox Photo Browser I Have Ever Used" http://goo.gl/ttxl2

I was very excited when I saw early versions of the new app store that eliminated the need to page through search results five apps at a time and replaced it with a scrollable list. Then at the last minute though, it seemed like Apple had a

The copy on this article and the book page itself feels so spammy that I would never buy the product. I respect the desire/need to make money, but I do think a certain percentage of your potential audience will be turned off immediately by

The last thing I need is this kind of kruft polluting my brain causing me to continuously second guess myself. I have a hard enough time deciding if a purchase is "business related" or not, now I have to ponder the future implications that

Probably will get downvoted for this, but I didn't really think this was as vile as apparently everybody else does. Sure it's a bit cheesy and stupid, but the dancers seem to be wearing shorts and a full shirt (essentially standard dance at

Did anyone find anything insightful, interesting, or entertaining about this article? To those that upvoted it - why? I ask because I think I must be missing a kernel of wisdom that you may have observed.

This looks really great, thank you for sharing it. One question, do you think you'll eventually extend the API to allow for uploading to these services as well?

Agreed, I honestly don't understand how it could be so well received on HN. Do you really need to use boldface <b>at the end of every sentence?</b> This article just seems like money-worshiping, social-climbing drivel.

The interesting thing to me here is how the story is no longer about Path and whether their actions were right or wrong. In the course of attempting to defend their portfolio company, Arrington and Co. have created a new debate about the ro

The previous replies do a good job of addressing your post, so I won't repeat what's already been said. The only thing I want to point out is that the in the specification I mentioned in my original post, the requirement was to circumvent t

I probably should keep my mouth shut, but after seeing so many posts about how great Path is for giving such a genuine and heartfelt "mea culpa", I can't help it. A friend of mine did some work for an older version of Path.com which include

I'll admit I got a little "misty" reading that - what a roller coaster. I'd love to know a little bit more about the donor (e.g. who they are, how they were found, etc..) Godspeed Amit!

I've always liked this little underdog gTLD - hopefully this will help it to pick up some public awareness. Lots of good names available plus you can register a .pro name right now for under 3 bucks: http://www.encirca.com/domain-news/2012

A well deserved number one spot for YC. Warning that this is one of those articles that makes you click 10 times to see the entire top 10 list - this really turns me off so I left after the seeing the first entry.

I think there's a huge difference between the kind of "coding" being discussed here and the work of an actual software developer. That said, if coding simply means having some familiarity with the concepts of computer programming, then I th

The first time I heard the word "icon" was when I was introduced to the new Macintosh 128k as a young child. Seems very appropriate now. Steve Jobs, Icon. RIP.

You honestly should delete this post, it doesn't represent your startup well. Maybe I'm wrong.

Sorry for the rant but what do you offer? Your site doesn't load at all? How are you not a spammer? An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments. If you are the application owner,

I love this guy Pud, but honestly man you have nothing to prove. What is the expected reaction here? "Haters gonna hate" - meaning I don't think you'll win any converts to ColdFusion with this information, that said why do you feel that you

No one can say firsthand exactly what happened in there unfortunately, though it's entirely possible it went down like the article says. There was a leaked FAA memo that claimed that he had been shot. Later it was claimed this was a first d

I worked at Akamai as a contractor for a few months after they first started. Danny used to come by and kick the desks of the developers I was working with to "wake them up". He was kind of like a rowdy older brother type. He seemed like a

I like the publicly editable tagline, it seems like a fun idea. There was something about sexual relations with bunnies however when I visited the site. Maybe a keyword filter would help?
