noirman··on Show HN: "101Start" a Simple App to Search Faster on iPhone/iPad
I'd be interested to look into it if you recall the name- I researched quite a few start pages concepts, and many of them require too much work to set up for users, or add clicks instead of removing them. I tried to make it a 1-click experience for as many services I could think of :)

noirman··on Tampon now lets you buffer tweets with pictures
I think anything other than tampon would be fine. Since it's open source, might as well call it "tweet_scheduler".

Call it Baffa (Japanese translation of Buffer)

noirman··on Good riddance, PayPal
In Asia, you have no alternative (at all). You either use PayPal (which suck), or 2CheckOut (suck less).

Some Android device owners simply have not choice. Their devices aren't support/capable of running ICS.
