ozh··on You can't win the game, it exists only to destroy your mind
than.
ozh··on Obama Becomes First President to Write a Computer Program
Seriously, this. I couldn't read further after tripping up on that bit.
ozh··on Ghost Acquires Roon.io
As an aside, that's the first time I notice Ghost's logo. I don't get it.
ozh··on Show HN: Git Gossip – Receive weekly updates from the top 1000 GitHub developers
I didn't notice at first the slider to pick the top limit -- that's very neat, you should emphasize visually it. My firsts thoughts were "cool idea but top 1000 is waaaay too much" and that thought stuck with me.

Also, might be cool to have a estimate of the reading amount you're subscribing to when you slide (eg "top X == about Y posts a week")

ozh··on List of URLs checked by Twitter for its app targeting
Probably dumb question, but why is every app registering their own URL scheme? Is that an iOS requirement?
ozh··on Why YKK? The Japanese company behind the world’s best zippers
submarine article yet satisfyingly informative: now that's a win-win :)
ozh··on Show HN: CouponHunt – Product Hunt for Coupons and Deals
regarding the "community curated" aspect: what's the incentive for someone to spend 2 mn adding a coupon to your site?
ozh··on Bash Keyboard Shortcuts Stickers
Non-Apple-Land.
ozh··on Utah Considers Cutting Off Water to the NSA’s Monster Data Center
I don't even see this as a potential slightest chance.
ozh··on Good Game: The Rise of the Professional Cyber Athlete
This article is 10 years late, honestly.
ozh··on Damm algorithm
Took me at least 1 minute to notice that it was not "damn", which was quite puzzling me...
ozh··on Global Web Crackdown Arrests 17, Seizes Hundreds Of Dark Net Domains
Revealing the trick and giving illegal ops a hint on what not to do would be much much more stupider, innit?
ozh··on Google Inbox
Interesting review. It almost sounds odd that someone likes the new "Compose" in a Google product...

If you can spare an invite, I'd be glad to try it out: ozhozh at gmail dot com -- thanks in any case.

ozh··on Martin Gardner, puzzle master extraordinaire
This article made me discover thinkfun.com (for the dragon stuff) and, HOLY WOW, that site is fricking awesome when you're brainstorming for kids' christmas. Don't miss that.
ozh··on BeeFree email editor
Super neat.

The preview window lacks a way to scroll the view (you can do it in the mobile mockup but the desktop view has no scrollbar and using keyboard to scroll down is unconvenient)

ozh··on Find the best path to any person or company
I totally want to trust a brand new stuff named "conspire" and let them read all my emails including super sensitive stuff.

Seriously, this looks like an XKCD prank comic gone real.

ozh··on Is “Huh?” a Universal Word?
I didn't imagine question marks (or exclamation marks too?) could be placed anywhere but at the end of a sentence. The Armenian syntax makes a lot of sense, I feel smarter to know this, than!ks :)
ozh··on Dropbox wasn't hacked
Issue explained to non-nerdy friends: http://xkcd.com/792/

As far as I can see on their page, they're just not competing in the same spot. DNSCrypt is a DNS, OpenDNS is a DNS + DNS Usage Monitor + DNS whitelist/blacklist + whatever

I for one has been pretty happy as a home user with OpenDNS: dead simple DNS filters to make sure kids don't surf on youporn and youreligion

ozh··on Show HN: Tempmail.de – Temporary, disposable, anonymous email address
It's trivial to setup your own mailinator with a custom domain or subdomain -- http://mailinator.blogspot.fr/2008/01/your-own-private-maili...
ozh··on [dead]
The irony on this was not missed.
ozh··on Show HN: Keyboards Club
Some come in 2 version, free & priced, eg Swype which you currently link only with the paid version
ozh··on Why Sometimes I Hate Myself
Interesting backtracing of the origin of that quote: http://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/06/11/time-you-enjoy/
ozh··on The Bézier Game
Awesome idea, but unfortunately unplayable. The first point is oriented backwards, as many pointed out here. Pressing Alt is constantly popping/hiding Firefox's main menu, shifting the display up and down.
ozh··on Show HN: Berlin Hacker News
I fail at seeing what here is worthy of being first link on HN front page...
ozh··on Show HN: Explore tilings of the hyperbolic plane by moving the mouse
Mesmerizing. I wish I could stop the spinning though.
ozh··on Cosmos Browser – Connect to the Internet via SMS, no data or wifi required
The cost of sending data over phone calls would be probably much much higher than sending SMS
ozh··on Show HN: I lose things constantly, so I built this service
I'll say it: the logo should not show $, it's not about money, it's about getting things returned. Money is just a tiny part of the process. The incentive to get new customers is not "$".
ozh··on Please Review My Responsive Image Format
Sexy? (ess-ex-zee)
ozh··on Codefights
Yeah I know that but alas this isn't "Saved stories", this is barely "Random mess of stuff I've liked, stuff I wanted to keep an eye on and stuff I wanted to look at later"
