That's more than just a nitpick, especially since that's in the headline.

I tend to agree. My background: I've been using Photoshop for about fifteen years nearly everyday. Just to be more informed, I decided to download Mac version of GIMP. What I like: - Feels much more nimble, lightweight - Seems like it has

I got rejected from Kickstarter because they said they "didn't fund startups" (the idea was purely non-for-profit and was aimed as a social benefit). And lo and behold... a startup?

People on HN/Reddit are pretty biased when it comes to CSS knowledge almost to the point where I really wonder if they've ever worked at a place outside of a startup or a tiny company. If you work at an creative digital agency, chances are

"I think there is a lot of space in Canada for this sort of thing." Agreed, though a lot of the talented devs/designers end up moving to the U.S.

Very cool idea, though I'd be down for one that's aimed at the prosumer crowd. I've been wanting to print out 8x10 or larger photos for the last while but have been way too lazy.

I don't think it's the same at all. I think one of the advantages that Apple has over every other platform is that designers use Apple for work which builds brand loyalty to its products and platform. Thus, a good portion of the people who

I was looking for a screenshot on the blog post. In any case, it'd also be cool to send this to a friend or list of friends so that they could help decide.

Agreed, though HN'ers are on the conservative end of design.

Actually, they are making changes. createthe has been transforming some high end brands towards HTML5. Thing about fashion is that it's more about brand than usability. They get a lot of their sales from their boutiques, net-a-porter, or ot

Some professional photographers say they use Flash because they want to protect their images from being stolen... despite the fact that you can screencap them?

"Facebook for restaurants" is like another social network. I know what about.me is, and if he pitched it to me, I would think, "a one page website for restaurants."

HN'ers can be serious buzz kills. Yeah, you can argue that it's less usable but the brand and emotion is dramatically more upbeat and fun, which is what I think the company is going for. I would be more likely to pay attention to hall the p

Precisely. I was able to travel literally around the world while working remotely in apartments and cafes.

Well if you check Facebook at work and go to Grooveshark, they can track you. I think they might even be able to gather some info if you logged out of Facebook but I'm only partially sure of that.

Yeah that's tough. One thing that might help is looking for a brand based in Miami. They might have a cool web design department.

Because Brooklyn is awesome. Great parties, concert venues, cafes, restaurants, parks, bars, and lots and lots of super talented people ranging from musicians in Williamsburg to artists in Bushwick. NYC is more than just Manhattan. It's als

Once you live in Brooklyn, it's possible to go days without having to enter the city. Plenty of awesome neighbourhoods in the BK (Greenpoint, Park Slope, Williamsburg, Brooklyn Heights, Bushwick, South Slope, DUMBO). I saw a LOT of young pr

I think the idea is opening the discussion for privacy concerns? I don't think you want to see your own but maybe someone famous. How many times have we read about someone saying something outrageous on Twitter and then deleting their Tweet

'My biggest challenge in NYC has been the availability of dependable salaries for coders and designers from non-startups.' I can't speak to programming/engineering jobs, but there's plenty of design jobs from non-startups. Almost every agen

Definitely look for work now. Seriously. Look at Krop, Craigslist (believe it or not, there are some really good jobs on the Craigslist board, you just have to filter), HackerNews... which area are you in?
