Cool idea, but for some reason it counts way too fast in my browser. It cranked out the 5-minute pomodoro in less than a minute. FYI I'm using Chrome on Ubuntu

Nice link-bait.

Hate to buy into linkbaiting and drama, but Curebit does seem to have no ethical boundaries. Once isn't a pattern, as they say, but twice certainly starts to be.

India needs to correct their shit, or US companies need to begin pulling out. The dilemma is that any company worth their commercial salt is not going to give up the business opportunity that is the Indian economy.

I for one still enjoy me some Gnome. Unity tickles my horizontal scrollbar bone and my netbook doesn't like being tickled

I'm not one to rain on anyone's parade, and great artists steal, etc etc, but isn't this a complete ripoff of Pinterest?

Impressive, sir. Too bad no IE support. Basically useless in application without an IE-specific sheet. In which case, why do it in pure CSS at all?

Because it's a press release. Users will be upgraded to the latest version available on their system. What more do you want?

Me too, came here to just to say this.

Hey Sonja, I really like the idea, and I've linked to it from multiple sources. I really hope your site takes off like I think it can.

I only have one piece of constructive feedback, which I hope you will pay some heed: Men have fragile egos. You should be wary of saying "Because guys hate shopping" or suggesting in any way that men do not have a sense of style. Yes, many (maybe even most) guys do not have any sense of style, or might hate the whole shopping experience. But I guarantee that using this sort of language as your tag-line (or 30-second elevator pitch) will turn away just as many guys from your site as it catches.

My suggestion is that you simply tout the benefits of this suggestion-based shopping. It's an obviously great idea, which I am backing 100%. Sell them on the benefits without making claims which will hurt their egos.

Despite all of the criticism I'm seeing, I think this is a great idea. All they're doing here is applying a suggestion algorithm to clothes shopping. Not a big leap. Plenty of people buy their clothes online; all this does is tailor (no pun intended) suggestions to your tastes.

I don't get what the problem is.

This is the same model OkCupid uses to notify two users who've given each other high ratings (4 or 5 stars).

His conditions are withering him physically and psychologically. He's not allowed to exercise whatsoever, or to communicate with anyone except on weekends. These conditions may not be direct torture, but they are most definitely a form of indirect torture, a claim which is supported by several psychologists. It's a form of punishment before trial, which is absolutely unconstitutional.

So fun drawing trollfaces

JavaScript isn't simple enough already? I think libraries are the way to make syntactic sugar, not trying to replace the language itself.

I wouldn't know about Apple corporate, but as for Apple Retail (I was a Genius), the interview process was very clean and straightforward.

...Show him HN?

In my experience, photoshop designers (who don't know how to code) often make poor design choices. I've found myself scratching my head more than a few times when trying to convert a mockup to html/css because of a designer who has a poor understanding of the browser as a design environment.

HTML + JavaScript + PhoneGap is a viable solution.

I know exactly what you mean.

I recommend learning JavaScript itself very well before you choose a framework. I wrote pure, vanilla JavaScript for everything for almost a year. I wrote a small library of helper functions.

After a year or so of trying to avoid "investing" myself in a JavaScript library, I chose jQuery, and I have not looked back since.

I really cannot recommend jQuery enough. Not to be a fanboy or anything, but it seems to have largely won the JS library war, for the most part. You really can't go wrong with it.

Sure, tables are not inherently evil. But like every other HTML element, they have their correct and incorrect uses. The reason you hear so much crap about them is because of very widespread misuse.

When used correctly (read: where you need to display tabulated data) tables are perfect. In some cases, they may even be warranted in layout design. However, this is not common. Using DIVs and CSS makes for much cleaner code where a table is not explicitly needed.

Hacker News actually uses tables. Not sure why, but maybe there's a good reason.

Better name?

FUD and more FUD. Desktop Linux will never die, because the people who use it are die-hard themselves. Contrary to what many think, the open source desktop is here to stay.

Ironyyy

Very cool. I was looking for something like this.

Why is that?

Typical Facebook. Push out a major privacy flaw, then back-tread and play damage control.

Free software has been around far longer than any of the apps/websites mentioned here.

Dead link!
