mostafaberg··on Ask HN: Tell me your biggest pain and I will try to solve it
unfortunately it doesn't work 100% under mac :(, right now i use moom ! but my problem was about the screens themselves, not how to tile windows in them, but what way to actually setup screens to make best use of them

That's true, I loved someone who i thought was out of my league, and ended up with her being the one thinking i'm out of her league ! of course we broke up within a year, but hey at least it happened !
mostafaberg··on Ask HN: Can I sell a SaaS service without a company?
everything depends on the laws in your country, where do you live ? what day job do you have ? how do you spend your free time ? do you have access to a legal advisor ?

mostafaberg··on Poll: Were you banned by AdSense? When in the cycle were you notified?
I used AdSense on my Facebook App inside iFrames (which was the only way to do it back then in (2009->2010) I made around $2k to $4k monthly, got banned a couple of weeks before the payout cycle, I contacted them and filed two appeals, both were rejected and no reason was given besides that I wasn't complying with the rules, that was back in 2010'ish as I recall, right after Facebook forced the approved list of advertisers (Adsense wasn't in the list)

well I guess it doesn't stand for next step a, or they didn't need any more names than 'a' and never went for 'b' ;)

Also it could be "Next Step Administration", "Next Step Access", etc.. there are a billion possibilities, I'm not saying apple doesn't give access to NSA, they surely do, but I'm saying they obviously won't do it this way ;)

mostafaberg··on nsagate.apple.com
I hardly think apple or any company are dumb enough to name their backdoor publicly nsagate as a subdomain to their company's domain, it's probably some kind of service, since apple prefixes lots of things with NS (NextStep), it could also be initials for a billion other words, see http://www.acronymfinder.com/NSA.html
mostafaberg··on Egyptian military lies on national TV about finding a cure for cancer.
Aw darn I accidentally wrote cancer instead of HIV, and i know why you wouldn't call them liars, but please watch the part at 9:15 and try not to laugh your ass off, this equipment they "invented" is the ADE651 bomb detector scam. hope I've clarified why I'm calling them liars, also, ahram.org is government run and is equivalent to Fox news, don't take it seriously !
mostafaberg··on Egyptian military lies on national TV about finding a cure for cancer.
Sorry It's in arabic, but he explains the method as follows "We feet the patient Aids like it's Kebab, and that is a scientific miracle"

And he goes on thanking every single person in the military for the rest of the session.

Damn I wish i had time to translate all of that !, it's hilarious !

mostafaberg··on Tips for nailing an iPhone app demo during a presentation
I don't think using your personal phone as a presentation device is the best idea, you can avoid most of those issues by simply having another device to present your app on, a used iPhone, or even iPod will be very cheap to get, no one will see that hardware anyway.

This way you'll avoid the wallpaper, calls, browser history, airplane mode, etc.. it'll be basically always configured for presentation mode, and you can also use it for development and as a backup phone !, fuck me right ?! :D
