frade33··on Gbatteries (YC W14) Launches BatteryBox, A 50Whr Backup Battery For MacBooks
This is really exciting, and a real problem solver, than good-for-nothing social apps popping up every other day. I wonder do they ship 'internationally'?

on a second thought, why not make the color of the box, say like mbp body color, or other light grayish colors, when it's intended for apple products. the green color does not seem a right fit for an accessory of apple products.

>and a total of 9 hours for 100% charge

yikes! But i guess it's okay since it's a 'standby' battery.

frade33··on How We Built and Launched Mod For $22,450
The only problem i see, the personal paper notebook I have, has 'confidential - do not open' written on its front cover. And on a second thought, is scanning a notebook a technological maneuver in our times? I am sorry for a little harsh review, but I was expecting something modern and exciting when I thought these notebooks can be stored in the cloud, at least not manual scanning of pages.
frade33··on VPS Classic: The most afforable VPS
But I had heard, the only catch is that, they are using 'desktop grade' hardware.
frade33··on New study shows we work harder when we are happy
Now how about doing some 'real' research on methods, which would make people stay happy at work.

keeping them coming, as I just started collecting all of these 2048 things here. http://2048.nerdspace.co/ it would be completed in a day or two, few are already listed.
frade33··on Show HN: Snip.ly, the link shortener that drives conversion
I am pretty sure, this service is not going to thrive, because people will never click snip.ly urls once they know what it is, and contains user-ad which hinders user-exprience on the linked article. Is this too hard to figure?
frade33··on Ask HN: I am a PHP Newbie, Why do most developers hate it
@sauuki, Thanks for the in depth reply, and this exactly answers my question.

I am already member of both treehouse and T+ and they are both awesome places to learn quickly and making sure you follow the best practices.

frade33··on Larry Page: I’d Rather Leave My Billions to Elon Musk Than to Charity
Question is he really going to give Billions to Elon Musk? or is it just another attempt to grab attention. Reading through the comments, I guess there is nothing wrong in investing projects that are too much futuristics, another point Larry seemed to be making was, there are plenty of people donating already to our current serious problems, while there are a few who actually do for projects that belong to far future.
frade33··on Mt. Gox finds 200,000 BTC in their old wallet (Japanese)
Anyone could translate it please?
frade33··on Invoice Ninja
I instantly shunned it because it is advertised as hosted invoicing CMS. I know you can install it yourself, and this is where you should focus on too, like fusioninvoice, which I am very comfortable with at this time.

No serious person is ever going to use your 'free-cloud-powered' service. As for paid cloud powered invoicing cms, freshbooks is a good choice, because I know they are not going to disappear overnight. But they are damn expensive for a small company therefore I use self-hosted fusion invoice cms.

frade33··on Ask HN: I am a PHP Newbie, Why do most developers hate it
Yes I am very much interested in learning Ruby/RoR and Python too. I had a brief look over the both of them, and my first impression was their syntax is very simple and easy to learn too, compared to the objective C, which literally gave me a heart attack ;)

Perhaps, I have not developed a lengthy web application myself yet, therefore I can not determine the inefficiencies of PHP over RoR or Python. And this was the reason I posted it here, to see, How PHP can be troublesome in complex web applications and how RoR or Python handle them more efficiently.

frade33··on Show HN: 2048 Tetris
I was thinking about it too, and so far I can't find it too. So I guess I would have to do this job tonight myself. Hang on! ;)
frade33··on If Malaysian Airliner was hijacked here is probably Why
The possible reason could be to 'teach a lesson' or put pressure on Malaysian Govt. The rift between Sunni and Shia is beyond an airliner or its cargo. If you ponder over their 1400 years old history.
frade33··on Moto 360
I am still failing to get the idea of enabling phone related services on a tiny device like this, it’s unlikely it can run sms/phone calls at its own, rather you would have to keep a smartphone with it. That said, I guess the focus should be on doing something that phone can’t. Than indirectly using your phone by this device, which barely makes any sense to me.

The device depicted in the images does not appeal me, it’s seems massive and old fashioned. I don’t think a smartwatch should have this look. We do not need a touch screen enabled watch, we are talking here about a ‘smart’ watch.

'And' here it is. marco loving your sense of humor ;) and by the way a good read too.

Just today I thought, can we an iPad version of this app. nevermind.
frade33··on Google gives UK government “super flagger” status for YouTube?
If muslims or poor countries want to flag the blasphemous content, then it's a matter of free speech. Now, it's a matter of strategic importance. Am i insane? or the world has lost the meaning of dignity and into hypocrisy.
frade33··on Save more with Google Drive
I was busy reading the post itself, and just got my eyes on the comments below. Damnit! Oh! Well, there is plenty of concern, regarding google shutting down its various services in the past.

However shutting down Google Drive would be equal to shutting down google docs in my books. It would be wrong to compare Drive to wave, jaiku etc. None of those shut down services were of 'vital' and 'strategic' importance as much as Google Drive is, to the Google Inc.

Moreover, Google is pretty efficient at building data centers, with hardware prices going down coupled with their capability to run massive data centers efficiently in terms of costs, I guess Google is and will remain a major and competitive player in Cloud Storage.

frade33··on Save more with Google Drive
I love dropbox, But I must say, this pricing is way too much tempting. And as a consumer I am happy.
frade33··on What Dreams May Come
I wish I had enough money to help you out. All I can offer is, a sincere prayer for you and your family. May God help you and your family and ease your the trouble.
frade33··on How to Think
Some decisions had to be made quick. But Most of them do not have to. However all of us tend to make quick decisions even when not required.
frade33··on I am not an introvert. I am just busy
the title is now my twitter tag line, thanks for that. People often accuse me of being introvert, while I am shy of telling them the truth ;)
frade33··on Jumpstarter launches “next-gen hosting”, promising sub-second server spin-up
i am currently using $20/mo dreampress you know whom. how does it compare to it? I had HN spike, and website (wordpress) was pretty much calm. they say it beats $500/mo wordpress.com VIP and they are a reputable webhost. whom i am using since 2007
frade33··on A software engineer's website
If i ever become a developer of think rank. the pages on my website would have .txt extension. I actually like it a lot.
frade33··on Jumpstarter launches “next-gen hosting”, promising sub-second server spin-up
yeah I am aware of it, but my mom does not ;)

on a sidenote, you have entered pretty much competitive market with tons of 'major players'. Deep down in our hearts we all know, what 'quality hosting mean'. They are all the same. some of them suck much other less. They all have down time. It's only up to you pay more or less for having almost same service from any of them. You are only good for them as long as, you have steady traffic than spikey ;)

frade33··on Jumpstarter launches “next-gen hosting”, promising sub-second server spin-up
The only metric used by them 'request' is not explained neither through the website nor FAQ found on Github! Good luck with taht. And i really hope it does not mean, what it means. If so it's darn expensive. perhaps more than MT.

This is a tiny project. As you may know, Amazon started off as an online bookstore too, I am not saying, I am trying to be Amazon of Pakistan, but it can't ruled out altogether ;) even at a smaller scale with proper skills and marketing and of course funding it could be a money-making venture.
frade33··on Apple CarPlay
I am not against the CarPlay itself, which I think would make a great fit in the car dashboard, I am just unconvinced about the phone and message apps? As both are the Number 1 reason for car crashes., so why would they want it in a car dashboard?
