agentsaran··on Here's an online gift-registry I created. What do you think?
Poor font. Makes the text hard to read. Too little information. Why should I sign up? How is this different from Facebook gifts/Amazon Wish list? An intro video/slideshow will be nice!
agentsaran··on Will Upcoming Ubuntu Phone Disrupt Mobile OS Landscape?
no.

So what is the point of this post?
agentsaran··on Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to retire within 12 months
Terrible CEO or not. Under his leadership Microsoft stopped becoming a software leader. They stopped leading and started following. Yes. Great products were launched. Windows Phone 8 (really cool interface), the Surface tablet, the xBox, Azure, various improvements to Bing. But they were outdone by competitors in almost all of these areas. Microsoft has to keep innovating, they have to become the disruptors. Right now, they're just busy playing catchup.

totally agree.
agentsaran··on I am just a developer and I know nothing about business. What should I do?
you can try to pitch your website at popular start-up events. For example: http://techcrunch.com/events/disrupt-sf-hackathon-2013/event.... Or attend some of these events and see if you can get people on board.
agentsaran··on Ask HN: How can we improve our website?
How do you calculate the viral rank? How about letting users visiting your site, upvote/downvote articles? More importantly, for a sports website, I think the style/theme of your site is too simple. Check this for example: http://bleacherreport.com/. what I really like about your site is that's its ad free.
agentsaran··on Google's Sergey Brin explains why he paid $330,000 for lab burger
Its not a throw away account. So a better future is lab produced meat? I'm not saying that the current demand for meat is not bad for the environment. All I'm saying is food is something that is best not experimented with. Nothing good has come up with food scientists tinkering with food. We live in an age where food is seen as a combination of nutrients. We keep track of calories, we read a new study everyday about the benefits for this food/that food, each study contradicting the one before it. Surely, the ultimate solution to making food "better, healthier, cheaper, more environmentally-friendly." is a pill, which will have everything that the body needs. right? Thats what all this experimenting will ultimately lead to. Maybe your scientific mind finds artificial meat appealing. Ask you grandmother how she feels about it.

A complete waste for $250,000. Lab meat? Why? Why would any one want to buy artificial, lab processed meat? Why do people insist on complicating food? Our supermarkets all already filled with things that can be barely classified as "food" and now we have this.
