Awesome app. I can't wait to use it on our next hike.

I really wish there were more apps like this (and Shazam). Just off of the top of my head, i'd pay a reasonable amount of money to identify: bugs, fish, seashells, animal footprints, mushrooms, and I'm sure a whole lot more.

Being part of a hiking family with two small kids, the questions are endless and even if it were crowdsourced in some way (e.g. please identify this bug for karma), it could be handy learning tool for kids, getting them more excited about science at an early age.

Same here. I changed my master password but I was never prompted to do so.

I was going to say that the day pass pricing is right on but if it was me, I'd want to do price testing on the monthly pass because it seems to inexpensive.

I'd also consider a "Enterprise plan" which is monthly plan with possibly some restrictions based on IP or with password protection etc.

Regardless of the funding, I think if this tech is true it's pretty neat. It's kind of like Shazam for Geolocation:

"A few feats of engineering brilliance hide under Color's slick surface. How does the app determine who's in the same room with you? Not with GPS, which is flummoxed by floors because it can't distinguish vertical distances between people. So Nguyen's team taught Color to use a phone's lighting and audio sensors, stitching their signals together with the sound and light environments of nearby devices to determine which user is where--it's almost like a bat's senses."

I finally got through and registered. I got the "sold out" message but kept on refreshing; it finally let me register. I wouldn't give up hope

I'm getting the "sold out" message to although their twitter feed doesn't really reflect that; I'm hoping it's just a glitch with their service.

I love my yubikey (yubico.com) I doubt I really need that level of security for my data but it's too damn cool not to have.

Having worked on a couple products (one a hardware product and one a software product from a different company) that were reviewed by Walt Mossberg throughout the years, I came away very impressed each time with him as a reviewer. I give the guy a lot of credit for taking the time to really understand the product and digging deep into features, thoroughly test it on each platform, and asking technical questions when appropriate.

Both reviews he gave on products I worked on were fair in both praises and criticisms, at least from my point of view. While I don't always agree with everything he writes, I do think the guy is a real professional at what he does.

You mean abstain from any website that doesn't block google from crawling it and that might have your personal information, either directly from your participation or by aggregating your information from other sources.

Xmarks also has a similar site feature based on our bookmark data:

http://www.xmarks.com/site/flippa.com

It also categorizes sites so you can look up the top rated sites for an individual topic:

http://www.xmarks.com/topic/web_sites_for_sale

I think the article has the name wrong. In the article text, they spell the last name "Resig" but if you look at one of the screenshots, the actual name is "Rezig".

I really like this idea and execution. Really nice work!

I think a good feature to add would be some sort of kiosk mode that could be used during a wake or reception by just putting a web browser on one of your pages and it would rotate through photos, guestbook entries, etc. like a slide show but would drop in to the guestbook with a mouse click and go back to the slideshow after the page went idle for a while.

Another good feature would be a way for people to buy coffee-table books of a site to save as a personal memory. I'm certain with some effort and partnerships with a publisher, you could create a well designed book automatically from the data you have. I put together a video montage of my father after he passed away and having something tangible that you can have of a loved one is always comforting.

Finally as a way to generate traffic, I'd consider building some killer example sites of celebrities as soon as the news breaks of some celebrity's passing.

I have a simple tool for autorefreshing a page on save too, albeit you need to add a script tag to the html you are editing which adds a comet connection behind the scenes. Works across browsers so you can have IE, firefox, and chrome all running in different windows and see them all refresh every time you save a change.

Google already does this prefetch on some search results pages with the top result. For instance, in firefox if you search for "hacker news":

http://www.google.com/search?q=hacker+news

there is a link element added to prefetch news.ycombinator.com.

  <link href="http://news.ycombinator.com/" rel="prefetch">

I assume if you aren't careful in your logs, you could be overestimating your traffic.

The "kj" remapping seems like a nifty trick; I've spent a while getting accustomed to ctrl-[ instead of the <ESC> key (I can't reach the <ESC> key without moving my left hand), but it's still hard for me to do quickly and reliably.

I have a Revo and it's pretty nice for streaming video from a server but it's pretty sluggish for Flash content even with the newest Flash beta running under windows.

I love it as a XBMC front-end to my UPNP linux server; it is super quiet and uses very little energy when it's sleeping, and works fine on HD content. As far as Hulu goes though, it just doesn't cut it (YMMV, I didn't try very hard).

I was just typing a similar comment when I saw yours. In general, learning how to use "apply" is a very useful technique for someone coming up to speed in Javascript.

Right analogy; wrong conclusion.

I still use my digital camera when I want to do "serious" photography, whether it's for taking family photos or any other event that I want to perserve a memory. When it doesn't matter or when my digital camera isn't available, I fallback to my iphone.

The same will be true with a tablet. It won't replace my laptop for work, serious web surfing, research, etc, but it might be there for me when I'm bored and just want to consume content. It will never replace my laptop, but may be light enough and convenient enough to be replacement for for some of today's laptop tasks.

For some people, a camera phone is a enough of a camera. For some people, a tablet may be enough of a computer. For most people, they'll probably want both.

Bloglines has a pretty decent feed search.

Interesting data and depressing when you think of the health care costs we'll be seeing as a nation as our population ages.

I have one quibble with the presentation; white is represented as "no data", but perception wise, it makes it look like those states had 0 percent obesity rates.

I've checked out recipepuppy.com before but not foodguts.com, which I think is terrific (although I'm not entirely enamored with the domain name as descriptive of the content) and will definitely use it in the future.

I could see that site having more social features and the ability to customize the content by moving and resizing boxes and having a my.foodguts.com with all your favorite content to quickly navigate the site. From a business perspective, recipepuppy.com might make more money but as a user, I can see using the content of foodguts.com more often.

Nice work. I've been trying to write something very similar to this for the last couple days so perhaps I won't need to complete it after all.

The one concern i have is that it appears to send up every url I navigate to; I'd much prefer to not have that overhead and instead have a button when I'm interested in a particular url. Having it query searchYC for each page i visit seems overkill, but perhaps not for some people.

If you are a mom as your username suggests, that's impressive.

When our kids went to preschool, my wife and I had colds frequently. Teaching our kids the basics in hygiene at 3 years old is hard enough, but putting them in a germ hostile environment exposed them to all sorts of new germs, the result being a minor blip on their uber-immunity systems and full blown cold for ourselves.

Is there a way for a business to get themselves delisted from Yelp (either manually or in a robots.txt automated way)?

Is there a "Must-Have" file backup utility for Windows?

I've really grown to like TimeMachine on the Mac, although I don't really need the eye candy; I just want something that dependably backs up my data to my NAS, stays in the background and does it's work without killing my pc's performance.

At least for me, I'm not buying the novelty effect. I have two kids and everyday is not only something new for them, but it's new for me as I watch them grow and as I grapple with parenthood, all of which is filled with unique and novel experiences and feelings. Instead of slowing down time, it feels like time has only sped up even further.

I wonder if this passes building codes, fire and safety regulations, much less compliance with the ADA? What happens when you have a bunch of these and interview a good developer that's in a wheelchair; pass on him because your whole team likes playing in treehouses?
