I had the same with LB (also N5) and just started using Flynx. Much better experience so far. It's free too.

Target a location subreddit? For example /r/chicago. Or are you looking to target redditors that are subscribed to overlapping subreddits? So /r/technology + /r/chicago?

Hangouts, Gmail and Play store are down for me in Chicago. On T-Mobile with a Nexus 5. Mobile data seems to work just fine, though.

See, my theory is that the Air is going to further be cannibalized by the iPad Air. I agree, it'll go the way of ARM and run some sort of iOS/OSX hybrid. Think Surface 2. I can't foresee the Macbook Air surviving as a laptop.

I'm already seeing Pinterest tags on clothes at Nordstrom's. Your idea would definitely help move that along. They have a unique opportunity here to help a lot of retailers. I'd like to see the company do more than just advertising.

>It consistently brings in more traffic than anything combined when you do it right,

How do you do Pinterest "right"? Just curious.

You're absolutely right about the traffic trend. When Pinterest was first getting a major buzz, I was pinning regularly and those pins are still getting actively repinned.

After a period of no pinning, now when I do pin things, I hardly see any activity.

MPlayerX is also a great alternative on OSX.

Is a high resolution screen really necessary on a 13" device? I know we want great color reproduction, but that's why I have my 21" external monitor. I've just switched over to the new MBA (first Apple computer ever) and before I did so I did a heck of a lot of research.

Originally I wanted a touchscreen laptop with Windows 8 and 1080p, because, shit, here I am contemplating dropping a lot of cash on a new computer, might as well get spec'd out.

I tried everything out in stores, I think the only Windows computer I really liked was the Acer S7(?). However, touch screen on my laptop was a no-go (don't see the practicality of it). Just couldn't get comfortable with it. The lack of Haswell and battery life was also a deal breaker after I tried out the MBA13.

Sure I compromised on resolution, but I think I won big overall. 12 hours of battery life, Boot Camp (that I haven't even taken advantage of, but it's nice to know I have the option), OSX, and a great trackpad? I'll take that all day, every day.

Paired with my external monitor, mouse and keyboard. I think this thing is going to last me a LONG time. i5/8GB/256GB

If I could use the Hangouts extension as an app, I would be so happy. I don't like the implementation of the extension on my Mac.

Seems like he's being made an example of. A clear and stern warning to others contemplating similar actions?

Doubtful on both. HN is mostly made up of developers. We let the business folk handle that jazz. I make it work.

It's a conversation within a conversation. /s

From Wikipedia: SHODAN (Sentient Hyper-Optimized Data Access Network) is a fictional artificial intelligence and the main antagonist of the cyberpunk-horror themed action role-playing video games System Shock and System Shock 2.

Kinda cool they chose that name.

I would say it's far from stupid. Digg has brand recognition, additional exposure like TNW's article here will only help downloads. The brand has reach that can't be purchased. I'm speaking for me, but I think this may be the general consensus, too, we're all just waiting for a truly GREAT RSS reader. Digg has the opportunity to innovate here.

If they actually do a good job with it? This could be huge. Regardless, their product will do well.

Such as? Marketing?

Create the product YOU want to create. When it functions as you intended, release it into the wild to work out the kinks and possibly tweak if the demand is strong enough.

The word you're looking for is: "communicative." Seriously, for a relatively new company, they've done a great job of getting the word out about their stellar product.

Hi! This couldn't have come at a better time as this is something on my ToDo list. However the bookmarklet isn't working on my site. The URL is www.randomdailyness.com. Any insight would be awesome!

I meet a lot of people that work in "tech" that describe their jobs similarly to the way you just did. Just as an aside, I think it's a disturbing trend. It's very easy to reach the point where you're being underpaid and stretched to your limits simultaneously.

Took a look at the dev board as a way to "demo" the service without signing up. It seems... overly complicated? Maybe I really do just need to sign up.

You have to take into account him manually creating surveys and getting reviews for his customers.

This is beyond intriguing. If only I had an audience to sell to..

Purchase Order number.

All you have to do is swap out the sim card, keep in mind the Nexus uses a micro-sim, which I think the iPhone uses anyways.

Agreed.

Exactly. I think that's part of the reason WHY we see so many task management apps. Everyone organizes differently, and their apps try to reflect that. No two apps are the same, but for whatever reason, none really provide that "complete" experience.

I suspect that when a founder builds something tailored to themselves, not torn apart by superfluous outside input, is when they really shine. Workflowy for example.

It is nuts. We're ALREADY paying customers by providing our data to Facebook. Now we have to pay to be heard? MySpace may actually take off when people begin to realize this.

You have to realize, previously, when a page was "liked" that was equivalent to WANTING to see updates from this Facebook page. That simple like was a 2-way contract, you're interested in us, when we post, you will be aware of it. Now the "liker" could be missing out on items they find important, and the fan page is effectively impotent in reaching that fan unless they pay to promote the post.

It really is a bait and switch and I'm surprised there isn't MORE outrage about it.

This is good. My question is, has PPC become too prohibitive for the average small business?

Any alternate networks out there? (I know of one, but haven't given it a shot)

That graph/chart is REALLY throwing me off. I can't even process the post. Where do you get that chart?? I can input numbers into a graphical chart generator, too. How do you measure that shit and I know it's not BS?
