sfaruque··on Show HN: Glance - Dashboard for Monitoring Personalized Data
After giving this a quick whirl, I like the concept a lot. However, for me to start paying they need to add a lot more features.

Here are my initial thoughts:

- Ability to select multiple Google calendars, not just the default

- Select more than just 1 Google Analytics account

- Load the Inbox faster (takes about ~2 minutes to load currently...?)

- Remember my layout of the cards

- Some form of notification counter

And finally, how much will this service cost per month after my 30 day trial?

sfaruque··on Show HN: Easily publish an email conversation to the web
I just tried this out.

Looks good, though I have a comment. How come I don't see the date and time per email on the thread?

Definately +1 for CodeIgniter, or even a framework-free version?

I can't tell if you are just trolling or if you really mean to classify Eric Simons as a criminal?
sfaruque··on Introducing the Humble Indie Bundle 6
I keep hoping that they will release Trine 2 as part of the bundles. I know it's only been less than a year since Trine 2 came out. Humble Bundle introduced me to Trine 1, which was the first game I've completed in ages.
sfaruque··on Show HN: My first Mac app, Foreman, free and on Github. Would love feedback
I really like this app. My current way of doing this is keeping everything inside Launchpad folders and opening them individually. Foreman seems to solve this daily issue.

My only real suggestion is that you change the text on the right side:

  Click on an app group and Foreman closes all apps not in that group and opens the apps in the group.
To something simpler, like:

  One click to Launch all Grouped Apps & Close everything else!

Could you share how you got this to work on your Mac?
sfaruque··on List of every member of congress who supports SOPA, sortable by donations
It's sad to see that for almost ever 1 SOPA opposing member on the list, there are about 4 supporting members.
sfaruque··on Stephen Hawking to turn 70, defying disease
The discovery of the electron led to the electron gun that helped build the cathode ray tube which gave us television.

It's quite amazing to see how one thing leads to another.

I think you posted in the wrong comment thread...
sfaruque··on Keep your job for five years, get $50,000
Slightly unrelated:

CNN needs to work on their "in article" link placement (don't really know what it's called). I took a screenshot in case it's different for other users.

I re-read that section twice trying to make sense of it...

sfaruque··on Harry Porter's Relay Computer
This might sound a little odd, but am I the only one who originally read that as Harry "Potter"?

Also, the video is quite nice!

sfaruque··on UCF Professor Richard Quinn accuses class of cheating
This guy pissed me off enough to write this comment.

Classical fear tactics. By offering a level of "immunity" for those who come forward, he's creating fear for those who actually did cheat.

Look at what he's offering to those who come forward:

"Any permanent record of this will be wiped from your transcripts. There will be no further action taken."

Then he goes on to taking a reverse psychological approach by saying:

"You want to take a high risk gamble, take it! I challenge you to take it…."

What he essentially did was scare the students into believing that his statistical analysis would be enough to expel them from college.

Sure, matching previous student batch's midterm results vs. current batch of midterm grades gives an insight. If you further compared that with the students other grades of similar subjects, then it is statistically possible to say that there's an anomaly present.

As far as I know (maybe the rules has changed since I went to college), you can't get kicked out of school because the administrators believe that it is statistically possible that you cheated.
