gil··on The Super Supercapacitor [video]
Shiny movie and very easy to understand but forgive me if I'm skeptic about something without any supporting numbers or scientific background
gil··on BBC iPlayer European Launch Disappoints Brits Abroad
While I understand the app store argument, the money waiting to be made from an international BBC iPlayer service equivalent to that offered in the UK, largely compensate the "hassle" of the web/desktop market.

The BBC Formula1 coverage is extraordinary, I would pay good money for it!

gil··on G- (Chrome Extension removes Google+)
This is the best extension name. Ever.
gil··on Safari extension to hide Bitcoin stories on HN
Does the extension hide this story?
gil··on Oscar = Open Source Car
Something like this was actually the idea I sent to Google Project 10^100. It was more specific because the goal was to have a cheap electric car but the design concept was very similar. I'm glad that someone had the same idea, will try to help :)
gil··on Last.FM for TV Shows
It's cool and all but what is the difference from http://www.mytvshows.org or even http://www.boxee.tv/ ?

I believe that last.fm works because it scrobbles what you've listened without you ever noticing. Having to manually mark an episode as "watched" is a big hassle and will never work well.

So this is a good idea, that implemented some nice features but that is not solving the main problem. Boxee solves that problem but misses these satellite features.
