singer··on Google founders couldn't spell Googol?
The average person would have spelled Googol as "Google", so it was the natural choice.
singer··on Please, Take My Ideas
The idea is to post a single idea at a time? Not such a good idea.
singer··on Please, Take My Ideas
So, post your huge list of ideas :)
singer··on Ask HN: Do you design your own website?
If you're a one-man-shop, then shouldn't design in general come naturally? Perhaps someone should be designing your software GUI too.
singer··on Super Mario Bros Crossover - Flash Game
Epic.
singer··on Ask HN: Review my weekend project - HackerBlogs
Great idea. However, the site does not render properly in IE8.
singer··on Sam's Club will offer small business loans ($5,000 to $25,000)
Why focus on only minority, women and veterans? Is that supposed to turn Sam's Club into some type of saint?
singer··on IPhone 4 Class Action Lawsuits Begin
I don't know what's more sad -- the people who dream up these lawsuits or the lawyers who take the cases.
singer··on 37signals Draft for iPad: Simple sketching and sharing
iPad apps are underpriced. There really isn't much profit left after you consider development time, product updates, support, etc.

How often does your existing display adapter get updated with new features?

singer··on Apple sells 3 million iPads in 80 days
Good plan... if I didn't have gift cards to Best Buy.
singer··on Apple sells 3 million iPads in 80 days
Has anyone tried to buy an iPad at Best Buy recently? They have been sold out in my area for a while, and they have no idea when they'll get more since Apple randomly ships them to Best Buy stores.
singer··on I've never made a public API before. Feedback on this one?
Neat idea! I noticed some display issues in IE 8.
singer··on Google removes background image from homepage
Nope, but I think this change might call for someone to write an open thank you letter to Google.
singer··on Why Pizza failed at McDonalds
This is an interesting article. However, most of it has nothing to do with pizza or McDonald's.
singer··on Making Control Simple
Creating an app to extract Facebook contacts would be a piece of cake.
singer··on Making Control Simple
I will give them the benefit of the doubt until someone proves that wrong. Right now, all you have is assumptions to rely on.
singer··on Making Control Simple
Researching alternative energy and actually getting someone to pay for a product that uses alternative energy are quite different. I'm sure those people who are currently using crude oil products will continue to do so once they see the price difference in the alternative energy products.

The same thing goes for Diaspora. It's going to take a miracle to make the majority of Facebook users jump over to a social network that cannot be used for free.

singer··on Making Control Simple
What were their intentions... to trick people with their security settings? Perhaps they just didn't take enough time to plan out the settings the first time around.
singer··on Making Control Simple
I suppose this might put an end to the Diaspora dream.
singer··on Please review my startup - Online Classifieds
It would be primarily helpful on the interior pages (e.g. http://chicago.abtain.com).
singer··on Please review my startup - Online Classifieds
@quellhorst, what do you think about slightly fading the color of all category links that have no posts? I certainly don't want to browse through categories that I know have no posts.
singer··on Jeff Jarvis: I want the opposite of what Facebook just did
> Everyone I know wishes they had better control over their privacy on Facebook.

Sure -- everyone you know. However, the average person has little or no interest in learning about and/or configuring privacy features.

singer··on “There is no longer enough mail to sustain six days of delivery.”
Most of the important packages I receive from USPS don't come on Saturdays anyhow. If I'm like most people, the 6th day won't be missed.
singer··on Why you should never pay more than $10 for an HDMI cable (Infographic)
Monoprice.com. That is all.
singer··on Review my startup - shouldget.com
You linked to an IE article from July 29, 2008. Really? Welcome to 2010.
singer··on Justin Kan of Justin.tv talks about pivoting, press & scaling [video]
This video is extremely painful to listen to. All I can hear is "like", "like", like"....
singer··on Why hasn't Vista sold well?
Change the theme to XP/Classic and you'll find there really isn't much to learn.
singer··on Alexa ranks Facebook #2 website worldwide (Google #1, Yahoo #3)
That's easy -- they make money from ads -- just like Google. I doubt all of your friends are using AdBlock and Facebook Purity.
