xaro··on Kagi and Wolfram
I configured Reddit as a "Lense" (similar to what Kagi uses for things like searching across Forums, or news). With that, now I have a simple toggle at the top of Kagi which allows me to immediately turn a search into a Reddit search.
xaro··on I have no side code projects to show
That's kinda true, but we can request to get our copyright back on a per-project basis.
xaro··on Air Fares 101 – Why do fares change all the time?
I experienced this just the other day. My father was looking at a price in his computer that I couldn't get (I was getting one that was $500 extra). I erased the cookies of the AA site, refreshed (exactly the same flights, the same days, everything the same) and bam! $500 dollars cheaper.
xaro··on uTorrent tricking users into changing default browser settings?
I met the creator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludvig_Strigeus) the other day, and he LOVES to micro-optimize. He's a genius, and made a vere light uTorrent (it was supposed to be a really light bittorrent client) and then he sold it to bittorrent and stopped developing it (and that's why it stopped being lightweight).

Awesome and interesting guy.

xaro··on Show HN: Pix.pe – Easily sharable pixel art
The first one is Megaman?

xaro··on Linode hacked, CCs and passwords leaked
That's what Stripe do.
xaro··on The Joy of Clojure, Second Edition – Early Access
Does it look fine in a Kindle with E-ink?
xaro··on Lorem Pixel
What I don't like about it is that it always returns the same image (not a random one) for a given size.
xaro··on Show HN: 5000 best movies
Well, Rotten Tomatoes offers an API, and IMDB offers all their data for download in text files.
xaro··on Ouya Approaches $5 Million In Backing, Attracts 5x Goal (So Far)
The thing is, I have a $200 phone that has Android but isn't very powerfull. I don't own a tablet, buying one would cost me $200.

For $100 they are offering me a console that I could also use as a TV media center.

I think you are narrowing your view to people that own multiple gadgets, in my country that isn't the norm and I know that a cheap console could have a huge impact here.

xaro··on Diablo 3 bug report: "Passwords not case-sensitive."
You don't need to guess it, if it's implemented the correct way, the signup and the login process will have the same rules and you won't notice.
xaro··on Farbrausch (demoscene group) releases their tools and engine
But the processing power needed to run it will be less.
