icodemyownshit··on OKCupid stole FriendlyRank.com creator's idea with their "MyBestFace" release
I noticed at the bottom it says, "Patent Pending." Hah! Much of this site's concept was ripped off of hot or not.

Click on it, do you recommend that we leave it the way it is?
icodemyownshit··on [dead]

The second paragraph [http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html] under "In Submissions" says, "If you submit a link to a video or pdf, please warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title." What is the point of marking it [pdf], if it will be flagged/tagged/whatever with [scribd]?

From a usability perspective, the flag/tag/whatever shouldn't appear in the same style as the title. It looks like the author simply tagged it. Perhaps the scribd link (if this is even needed) should be in the info-line below the title.

icodemyownshit··on Password Manager - Any suggestions?
I've been using KeePass for several months and love it. The only thing lacking at this point is a suitable version for iPhone. While there is an app, it has a long way to go. I heard that the Blackberry version is great. I use the same database across OS X and Windows machines.
