irunbackwards··on Pingdom copied our idea, success?!
Is yours the Technorati Top 100 as well? I feel like this has been done many times in the past, both by individuals and businesses of monitoring products.
irunbackwards··on Yahoo just broke every page that was using their Weather Badge
Sorry. Yahoo! provided an embeddable widget for weather forecasts that was used pretty commonplace on the internet. Today, all requests to that widget just forward to the weather.yahoo.com homepage, thus breaking any websites using the widget. I had to go through clients' websites and prepend a uk. to the weather subdomain to get it to work.

Prepend uk. to the badge URL to temporarily fix.

irunbackwards··on Why One of Silicon Valley’s Savviest Investors Has Shut His Wallet
I agree, the rest of the world is dying for these new products being created in SV, however they're being bought up and rolled up or snuffed out before the rest of the world really experiences them. This is especially true for the hyper local products that only service major metropolitan areas and some of the more "techier" social mobile products. Of course, I understand the rate of adoption in more rural areas doesn't fit the bing bang boom business model, but there is a crap ton of money to be made in the long haul.

irunbackwards··on Ask HN: Will you beta test my location-based game, Friends With Guns?
Clickable: http://www.friendswithguns.com

#1) Can't unsubscribe in the settings menu. (Specifically trying to uncheck News & Updates)

#2) Are you going to implement capability to launch warheads at a specific location? That way we can preemptively strike at targets we think a person will be at?

irunbackwards··on Redditor: Am I a scumbag for automating my manual work and making more money?
... was that an HN profanity filter or an awesome colloquialism? (Flowers for Algernon)

irunbackwards··on Thank HN: Claim your personal Screenleap handle until April 30
Claimed, thanks!
irunbackwards··on Ugh ... Who else uses multiple sign on for Google Accounts?
I guess that makes sense, that should be a settable feature, though. I don't want multiple pinned tabs for gmail.
irunbackwards··on Megaupload Worked On A Multi-Billion Dollar IPO
Shady? What do you mean? This is America! Guilty until proven innocent!
irunbackwards··on Megaupload Worked On A Multi-Billion Dollar IPO
How is WM shady? These are not moral issues, they are economic/social issues. (In my humble opinion, anyway.)

irunbackwards··on Login to your Google account by scanning a QR code
You might find some inspiration from duosecurity, who uses QR codes during their setup process. (Don't know if they're using them for auth, yet.)

Naw, you can technically scan this link w/ another laptop using its webcam.

I feel like this would make a great MasterCard commercial.
irunbackwards··on Ask HN: VPS Solution for a limited-budget emerging startup
IntoVPS is pretty good, totally unmanaged so the cost is kept down. If you don't want cPanel, it's especially cheap in my opinion. IntoVPS also has availability outside the United States, if you're interested in getting a server in Europe.

My startup is kind of detatched from either of those hubs, we're rooted in Palm Desert. (Palm Springs) Thriving, though!
