I'd rather have tracking deeper than the first page of each site, than themed sections, not that it's a bad idea. I wouldn't mind CSV or JSON data and I'm sure some people would prefer XML. Should be trivial to make dumps in each of those f

When I read the title I thought you made something that found the original source of a syndicated/re-posted article. Anyway, since you have a database of submissions to HN, Reddit and Digg, there's alot of interesting things to do. Off the

Found a good website that sells all these new tablets/UMPCs/MIDs coming out of China: http://www.merimobiles.com/Computer_products_s/176.htm There are 6 devices with wifi and touchscreens for less than $200. This website has videos and if

That's a good point, I guess the orientation of the subpixels could make things weird. They show both portrait and landscape mode in the video and it doesn't look like there's a problem though.

The WIFI is on-board. Ethernet,usb,etc are supposed to be provided through a docking station (which I haven't seen anywhere). If you view the video included in the article, they mention this as well as point out the WIFI led on the device.

I think Rapidshare not being responsible for infringement must be contingent on what Rapidshare does to fight it. Well they have damn good lawyers, since now they don't have to check filenames, check checksums, IP addresses, manually check

That post uses Domains by Proxy as an example, which is an awful service. Towards the end of the article, Dynadot explains the whois protection service THEY offer themselves. That's what Namecheap (and other registrars) does and it's what I

Exactly. I mentioned this in my original post above. They already know whether the "pay what you want" sale works or not.

You should use an extra line break between paragraphs in order to avoid wall-of-text mode.

It surely is a way to discourage people that aren't serious about their business plan. However, my instinctual response is: No.

What is so wrong about body odour? I'm sure there must have been a time, not too long ago, when people smelled like people. Sometimes, I don't shower for 3-4 days. You don't sweat that much if you are hacking away at a keyboard for 12 hours

Tax for just a USB stick sent by a friend? Ouch. I'm curious , what was the origin/destination of the package?

I've used whois protection services for years (and for thousands of domains), there's never been a problem for me. When the whois protection service is provided by the registrar you used to register the domain, how is that third party owner

At my current location in Europe, low cost items usually pass through customs without a lot of extra tax, although sometimes it comes down to luck. Should be 20%-25% total if they decide to tax it. On a sidenote, the seller I linked to is f

I like this model. Surely the developers behind these games are going to get some new fans and customers. As an anecdote, I played World of Goo at a friend's once. He copied it on my USB stick and I played more at home. A few months later t

An interesting point is the counter on CaptchaAd's homepage saying they have served over 23 million ads. They must have some data on how effective this is.

Why not offer both? Casual users might prefer to use the web app, advanced users can mine their own data. However, if I were to use a plugin to export my search data, I would expect it to be good at capturing/extracting search queries on a

Namecheap offers free PositiveSSL certificates, as well as a free whois masking option. You must register or transfer a domain there to get it, but it's not tied to the domain you buy, so you could buy a new domain and use the free cert on

How do you cluster links/stories? Do you use any open source software in the back-end? I wouldn't mind a list of what you used to make this.

I don't really want to send anyone my web searching history, however I would be interested if the plugin could export data to csv,xml or json. That way I could datamine my search history with whatever tools I like to use.

You also have almost 700 users. Motivate them to create some content. More content -> more traffic -> more users -> more content.

You could also have your ad contain a regular captcha image. The area around your captcha will be getting eyeballs, it's not a bad idea to use that space to pass a message to your users. Ad blindness is always an issue but that's why changi
