yellow··on How TheLadders.com scam works
Agreed. Once it started getting redundant, I glanced over and realized my scroll bar handle was quite small and still at the top...
yellow··on Lean Startup Bundle for SXSW for $99
They've done bundles similar to this in the past, right? Has anyone had any experience with those? I'm interested, but hesitant.
yellow··on How to Make Money in 6 Easy Steps

Everything in one view.

yellow··on Is Facebook making us sad?
Great read. I recently discovered that when comparing my facebook feed to my GF's, she had nothing but posts from friends and their new families (babies/marriages/etc.) while mine is typically links to news, witty quotes, and people venting. I had no idea girls indeed do spend more time on facebook posting only the positives of their life. I would think that definitely keeps out requests for help or posting only mediocre content.
yellow··on PS3 Root Key now Public Domain (Exhibit T, page 247)
Also, those ads are probably getting some unintended interest through the legal system...
yellow··on Please Review my Christmas Present App: Receiving.It
I'm running Chrome and the entry table is overlapping the testimonials on the left when my window is not maximized.

Also, you could probably streamline list creating by having the confirmation be the same page as the entry page. Hitting the confirmation page without any link back or redirect could diminish subsequent use.

yellow··on Tell HN: In case you're interested, I'm selling my webapp wrttn.in
TIL: there is a website for buying and selling websites.
yellow··on Github: Free micro plan for a month
I have been on the fence about getting a private account. I'm now officially sold.
yellow··on Which programming book you just couldn’t stop reading from start to end?
When I first decided to learn my first programming language, I bought a Wrox PHP for Beginners books and literally read every word (and practiced every example) over a weekend.

I learned two things from doing this: 1) PHP is a great language for beginners and 2) The details you read in a book like that won't stick with you forever, and you'll have to use the book as a reference anyways...

yellow··on Radical new input system coming for mobile devices: 8pen
This page claims it goes live tomorrow. I'm looking forward to trying it out on my X.

yellow··on Is Goo.gl really the fastest URL shortener? (chart)
Great read. I feel bad for the Is.gd people. They might've had the most unfortunately timed outage from an extremely rare ISP issue that will never happen again and will forever be labeled as the service that's "not 100% available". Just pretty darn close.
yellow··on Offer HN: Stock Tips from Seasoned Novice
If I told you I have an account at Interactive Brokers, Zecco, Scottrade, and Sharebuild, frequent EliteTrader forums, and watch CNBC would people be interested in my tips?

I would be hesitant to act on financial tips without a well defined history. This is one reason why I'm a fan of the Covestor model where you can follow a well-documented history.

Having said that, if you can provide some journal of trades that beat SPY, I'd love to get your tips.
