Altaer··on Ask HN: How much recurring income do you generate, and from what?
Instead of ads, I decided to try affiliated "buy this song on x site" buttons on my site (www.tunecrawl.com) under each song. It generates so low income, however, that I would have removed it a while ago if users didn't find it useful. Might be worth a try to see if you have the same result. If nothing else, it adds some additional functionality to the site and is easy to set up. I honestly think you could get away with some well placed ads on tubalr, though.

Great redesign, btw!

Altaer··on Calling the NSA: "I accidentally deleted an e-mail, can you help me recover it?"
The DoD and I'm sure other organizations are instructed to try and get as much info from the person as possible if it's a suspicious phone call like this. People call up and use all sorts of techniques to get information from these organizations, which it seemed like what was trying to be done here.
Altaer··on Show HN: A quick, unbloated way to listen to a song
Thank you for your comment! I am working on the "video player is too small" error. I hope to have a fix shortly, as well as an ability to close instead of just hiding.

Thanks for introducing me to preview.fm as well! I am working on incorporating iTunes to the "Buy" portion of the music results soon, so hopefully that will help out in case you prefer iTunes over Amazon.

I worked hard to reduce the bloat that comes with a lot of the websites. I decided to leave all of the source within the home page, so feel free to dig around :)

I have had reports that this occurs when a browser window isn't in the maximized state. I am working on the solution at the moment. Fore the time being, a workaround is to simply click the play button twice on the same song. Thank you for the report :)

TuneCrawl [1]. Simply put, TuneCrawl is a lightning fast way to stream any song on the most popular music streaming websites.

Still a lot of features I would like to implement, but I'm proud of it so far!

Altaer··on Cluzee for Android is a terrible Siri clone
I'm not too sure why people are expecting Siri clones to be good at this point. Apple had lots of resources, top employees of the country, and lots of time to develop Siri. 3rd parties are now trying to replicate this in a short amount of time using startup resources. They won't be perfect at this point. I love the fact that smaller companies are trying, however. The fact that Android doesn't really have a built in Siri like the IPhone actually intrigues me. The competition between new droid Siris should help drive a better app, assuming Google isn't hard at work on their own version
