Good old Streisand effect.

I just realised something. Steve won't ever see the new Apple building in Cupertino (the "spaceship" one). :'(

So it's a DNS block? That will be incredibly easy for Belgians to bypass...

Subscriptions?

Plus, he's Mark Zuckerberg.

I was just gonna suggest this. Reviews would also be a great idea because they would be "for hackers, by hackers" in a way.

Word of warning: DO NOT buy the rechargeable USB batteries. They are very cheap and leaked acid (I owned two). Also, they do not hold a charge for more than a day in my experience. You'd be better off with regular rechargeable batteries.

Nice site, by the way. Has some very cool stuff.

Welcome to the press...

And I agree, Facebook's app is bloody awful. Crashes randomly, sometimes doesn't load for unspecified reasons, and it randomly logs me out and forces me to log back in.

I'm still using FaceForward with Facebook version 3.4.4, and that's worked out well for me so far.

It's a really stupid move for both services, Spotify and MOG. Some users don't have Facebook accounts for whatever reason (suspension, dislike of Facebook, no need for it, etc.), and this prevents them from becoming potential customers of the music services.

Hacker News doesn't have like buttons or other widgets all over the Internet...

And what if Facebook decides that apps no longer need permission to access profiles? They don't care about using privacy /at all/. They purposely make the privacy controls hard to use.

This. Most online catalogues are awful.

Did you even read the whole article? It has a sarcastic tone.

But I think the OP's point is that privacy will eventually fade away, so if I'm doing a Google search on "cure for HPV" this will be published publicly to my Facebook profile. I don't really care that "oh, it doesn't publish automatically unless you grant it permission!". I want to be notified when something is posted on my profile.

On another note, I'm seriously considering closing my FB account once and for good and leaving for G+. I have a good crowd of friends willing to do this (and invite their friends), but G+ offers no way to import FB data, which would be a nice feature.

The only service I can think of that doesn't store any sort of data is ipredator.se (which is what I use). I know there are a few more (I think SwissVPN is safe too), but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

Works on my iPad.

Wait, can't a EULA be invalidated if it's deemed too extraneous? I remember something about that happening in a Microsoft case...

> Once dead, however, their works should transition to the public domain.

So we can make their work free once they're dead? That doesn't seem fair. What's wrong with something going into the public domain? It's not terrible.

I know this is cliched, but it /should/ just work. It should be easy enough for the end user to have a basic understanding of that tool.

A lot of programmers are unsung and don't get the praise they deserve. Sure, you have famous programmers like Woz and Zuckerberg, but there are a lot of talented people out there that aren't even given praise at work.

> In a filing in Chicago federal court this week, former salesperson Ranita Dailey confirmed she will be lead plaintiff on behalf of Groupon employees who seek to recoup overtime that the company allegedly failed to pay.

Just because she's the lead plantiff doesn't mean the others aren't involved.

Wow, that's actually a really cool idea. When do you guys plan to expand outside the US?

I'm not sure if he's not allowed to write for TC anymore. I think he's just not the editor-in-chief.

Agreed. I'd love to see what's behind Canvas.

He's not really trolling them tbh. 4chan's community is just worried that moot will shut down 4chan in favour of Canvas. A lot of 4chan users look at Canvas as another Web 2.0 company that will quickly sell out.

And anyway, Canvas can't stay in public beta forever, can it?

This. But if they didn't do that, I totally would download them.

The advertising has to be short and not take up a huge portion of the video. Also, smartphone and tablet compatible formats, please.

Selenium works fine for me.

A PR guy wrote this, what did you expect?

Can't imagine Facebook would partner with a site. They'd probably try to buy it and then intrgrate it as a feature in Facebook itself.

jQuery, Prototype, and MooTools. Pretty much standard in everything I design.
