Dramatize··on Meet the 'Mann' who registered 14,962 domains in 24 hours
That's a terrible idea. People would just create fake purposes for the websites.. and then who would be responsible to decide if a purpose is legitimate or not?
Dramatize··on Sparrow for iPhone
Bought it as soon as it was available. Their OSX app was one of the first I bought when switching to Mac.
Dramatize··on What are good resources to learn about iOS app design?
Here are a few resources I found:

Good first intro http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/mobile-design-tutorials...

_plus's suggestion for designthencode.com was great

This was good to play around with layouts http://www.teehanlax.com/blog/iphone-gui-psd-v4/

This could be good http://www.tapptics.com/series/code-custom-graphics-xcode/

Last.fm seems to work without work arounds.

To get around this in Australia I've been using unblock-us.com. I can now get Hulu & Netflix.

However buying music is another story. Songs in iTunes are around 50% more expensive in the Australian store. That's pretty disgusting.

The best alternative would be Amazon - but they don't sell to anyone outside of the US.

Dramatize··on Looking for Australian startups to feature on my new blog
It would be great if you didn't include any clone me-too companies.
Dramatize··on Aussie Tech Gold Rush
The whole article feels so sleazy.
Dramatize··on Aussie Tech Gold Rush
What's with the popped collars?

The problem with the Australian tech industry is most of the big players are just copy cats.

Dramatize··on What are some inspiring videos I can watch to renew my passion for startups?
Go to Mixergy.com. It's hands down the best resource for learning directly from company founders.

Also go check out the early episodes of This Week In Startups.

Dramatize··on Google Plus - aprox 40 million users as of 9/25/11
I haven't used it since trying it out on the first week.
Dramatize··on FT.com hijacked?
Never mind, looks like I've got a virus. Something to do with searchdeiscovered.
Dramatize··on Offer HN: Let us critique your project?
I could use some feedback on http://rumplo.com
Dramatize··on Arrington out at AOL (for real this time)
Compete/Alexa rankings are worthless. It is known.
Dramatize··on Ultrabook: Intel's $300 million plan to beat Apple at its own game
Ultrabrook?
Dramatize··on Ultrabook: Intel's $300 million plan to beat Apple at its own game
Ultrabook? They couldn't think of a better name? Sounds straight out of the early 2000's.
Dramatize··on Ready For a Reddit Replacement?
I think it's perfect. It's easy to see if there are any new posts (and it's clear which ones you have visited).

It's also not going to attract much attention if you have it open at work.

Dramatize··on Ready For a Reddit Replacement?
I was playing around with a UI for a HN/Reddit style site: http://beta.dragthelake.org/index.php
Dramatize··on Thanks TMZ, for make my weekend sad
That image was very fake.

Never argue with a fool – they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
Dramatize··on Russia plans $65bn tunnel to America
Makes you wonder how they will deal with shifting tectonic plates?
Dramatize··on The little-known secret of how to actually choose a web designer
Spaz is a nothing word in Australia. I found this article which begins to explain the change: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1124793...
Dramatize··on The little-known secret of how to actually choose a web designer
When did the word retard start carrying the same weight as nigger? Is it an American thing?
Dramatize··on ZeroCater (YC W11) Raises $1.5 Million For No-Hassle Office Lunches
Am I the only person who brings lunch from home? Eating out every day gets expensive.
Dramatize··on Game of Thrones CGI
I loved Sopranos, The Wire, Boardwalk Empire and GoT.

Deadwood and Rome not so much.

Dramatize··on Games company claims their graphics are 100,000x better
I think their point was if the same amount of research and money went into improving their technology, then future games would be amazing.
Dramatize··on Ask HN: Ok done with our website. But Look and feel is developerified.
Maybe have a look at http://siteinspire.com/showcase I found this site to have a good collection of well designed sites.

The main area to work on is typography and navigation layout. If you have nice typography and an easy to use navigation, you'll be 90% of the way there.

Another tip is to never use #000 for your text. Try using a dark grey.

Two sites I like the design of are: http://www.thrivesolo.com/ and http://www.bestmadeco.com/

Dramatize··on Poll: Do you use Google Reader on a daily basis?
I'll give it a go. I'm in the process of setting up a large number of feeds to help filter content for our product websites.
Dramatize··on It's Me, In an Ad, On Facebook. Is This Legal? Allowed? Who Knows?
I'd be interested in Noah's response.
Dramatize··on Show HN: Purify, a Tumblr theme powered by Isotope
Nice, I really like it.

Think I'll use it for http://blog.rumplo.com & http://motherandcub.com
