spleeyah··on How Apple and other corporations move profit to avoid taxes
This should really point to the full-page article:

    http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/03/business/how-apple-and-other-corporations-move-profit-to-avoid-taxes.html?pagewanted=all
And the title should be updated to the actual article title: "Apple's Move Keeps Profit Out of Reach of Taxes"
spleeyah··on Show HN: Our alternative to recruiter spam
I think you might be underestimating the level of pay for developers in a lot of the "big" areas. (SF, Silicon Valley, NYC) I've personally heard of friends (fresh college grads) getting offers anywhere from $70k to $150k.

spleeyah··on Django Production Deployment and Development Using Git
Cool! I use Puppet at work currently to do deployment stuff, but I've always been curious about other technologies like Fabric, et al. I'll probably look into them for personal projects or just for fun, eventually. It's on my [long and growing] list of things-to-do.
spleeyah··on Django Production Deployment and Development Using Git

This part of the development cycle has always interested me, especially to see how other people do things.

spleeyah··on Kindle Fire - Full Color Kindle with 7" Multi-Touch Display, Wi-Fi

spleeyah··on Hacking the system: how to land meetings with anyone you want
I just watched the whole video and all I can say is wow. That guy was truly a smart man.

I watched it all the way to the end without losing focus for a second. The head fake at the end really hit hard.

Great video.
