beck5··on Facebook’s Zuckerberg Is Now Richer Than The Google Guys
richer in terms of the stock they own based on crazy valuations.
beck5··on First Night With Google Plus: This is Very Cool
Does anyone know what the plan is on letting it loose in the wild? I know it took me a long time to get a gmail account back in the day. I hope/imagine within a week or two they fully open the doors.
beck5··on Google+ Project: It’s Social, It’s Bold, It’s Fun, And It Looks Good
1) I saw this elsewhere, apparently its a demo limitation.

2) I also thought this and decided the circles probably just get really big. We will see however!

beck5··on Google Introducing New Visual Design Across All Products
Don't google make dozens of changes tiny changes a day to their search page?
beck5··on New Google Web Fonts Interface
Not quite the same load. Google fonts is more like Google Libraries than translate.
beck5··on Google Takeout: Download your data from Picasa, Contacts, Buzz and Profiles
Do you find them useful for reference or just feel safe having them?
beck5··on Designing GitHub for Mac
I think you need a terminal window open when using git really (unlike mercurial but lets not fight now). I do however like Tower
beck5··on Designing GitHub for Mac
Has anyone been using this client, is it worth using as far as GUI's go?

isn't a lot of the future of search potentially tied into social?
beck5··on Google Reveals Its Stealth Social Project, Google+
Do people trust Google more than Facebook? and could that be a factor in adoption? My gut says probably not to both questions.
beck5··on Google Reveals Its Stealth Social Project, Google+
The demo wasn't that smooth for me, my mouse would slow up considerably on a friend which I assume wasn't intentional. Like hitting some grass on your bike!

beck5··on Google Reveals Its Stealth Social Project, Google+
Its probably more likely google buys Facebook! So don't hold your breath on facebook letting any of there data slip into google+.
beck5··on Google Reveals Its Stealth Social Project, Google+
Circles is very interesting, its could solve a work/life/parents social battle I fight, however the demo only allows you to add a person to one circle, I hope this is just a demo limitation, as my sister is also my 'friend'.
beck5··on Ask HN: What are your security tips for a person who has done the basics?
Do you manage your own server or use a PasS?
beck5··on Collecting NodeJS related vedios in one place
Rather than embedding videos from all over the web wouldn't it be cleaner to link to them? perhaps with a search facility.

p.s. node tuts has some great vids

beck5··on Google V8 ported to iOS
Impressive but are there any practical usages for this?
beck5··on I've made a terrible mistake
Everyone hits lows, take a couple of days and then come back fresh. Perhaps your product isn't going to make a million this year but thats not the end of the world, there is always time.
beck5··on Ask HN: I've got 3 months of long weekends. What should I build?
The first 4 seem a little unoriginal (perhaps that doesn't mean non profitable!)

The last option seems generally different and you may have found a small little niche which is going to be you goal. I would just work on that for one month then reassess.

beck5··on Dutch parliament passes Europe's first net neutrality law
I would love to see something along these lines come from the EU, I don't trust the UK government on this.
beck5··on Hacking suspect Ryan Cleary 'has Asperger's syndrome'
The internet is or soon will be a human right in the EU so that should make any ban impossible.

I truly believe its down to a deep misstrust of facebook and Zuckerberg which started from day 0 of facebook.
beck5··on [dead]
perhaps a little basic for people reading HN.
beck5··on DotCloud Pricing Announced
Im getting the feeling DotCloud wants to sit between somewhere in between Heroku and AWS. A little comparison table of cost & features would be interesting to se.
beck5··on Eclipse Indigo is here
Thats what I do (tower for the GUI). The mercurial plugin on the other hand is great.
beck5··on Eclipse Indigo is here
Be careful with EGit its still beta really IMO.
beck5··on LulzSec supposedly claims its biggest coup yet: The entire UK 2011 Census
Yes, they will probably be the information controller under the DPA and have to be extreamlly careful that our data is safe. Even keeping a copy in a non EU country is very hard.
beck5··on Eclipse Indigo unveiled
The themes you can get for eclipse now were an actual factor in my decision to not move to InteliJ
beck5··on Gridless: a responsive HTML5 and CSS3 boilerplate
To be honest, if compass doesn't have it I just dont care at the moment.
beck5··on Mac OS X Lion: Coming In July For $29
I hope your right, but on most small releases 'tinkering' needs to be done to make it work. We will have to wait and see.

I think its just nice to see java mentioned in a positive light on HN
