It's actually any domain with the word "bay" that redirects to ebay.com: http://www.crittersbythebay.com for example.

I agree, and it's not just Joel; there's tons of Microsofties that I know (me included) that are pretty active on news.yc, even if only lurking without real accounts/profiles, but on read-only mode.

Hopefully, IE9 won't disappoint - trust me, we're working really hard on it :) If you wish to share with me what problems exactly you're facing with IE, and I'm happy to hear you out. My profile page has my contact info.

But how many people knew of it, or use photoshop.com? I had never heard of it until now. Adobe's doing a pretty piss-poor job of marketing it if it is supposed to be a stand-in free web-based version of photoshop for people to do basic touch-ups on their pictures ...

It does say, "Google Inc.'s email services" - would that include Google Apps (free, pro) too? That sure would suck ...

INR 9999 = 218 USD according to xe.com: http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi?Amount=9999&From=INR&#...

Also, Infibeam's website is a blatant rip-off of Amazon's website on top of just the Pi being a copy of the Kindle.

Some Italian guy posted a discriminatory video on Youtube Italy, four top Google Executives now have arrest warrants in Italy, and cannot be anywhere in the EU (due to reciprocal extradition treaties). The Head of Google Video Europe moved to Google UK to head Consumer Marketing in consequence, cannot travel anywhere within the EU at this time, and who knows for how much longer?

Spammers could get around by registering click-here-for-my-awesome-blog.com though, if they really cared enough to spam the news.yc forums.

Because local network admins in various big companies refuse to upgrade from IE6 since they depend on internal applications coded against IE6 specifically, and Microsoft does not control every single corporate LAN to be able to force upgrades down their throats when they don't want them ...

IE9 hasn't been released yet; or did you mean, a super early preliminary build in the early stages of IE9 development which probably has little to do with how the final product will look like? We haven't even shipped a developer preview release yet ...

(disclosure: I work on the IE team)

Chandra, the CEO of Fusion Garage, is Singaporean, not Indian. He is of Indian origin (i.e. his parents were Indian) but he was born & raised in Singapore.

Yes, the demo account is crucial; a lazy effort would be a screencast (flash-based?). I certainly want to give this a whirl, even though it would not directly help me, but rather, friends of mine who are professors or teaching assistants. But I'm not about to register, activate an account, and then populate it with bogus info and bogus students burning an hour of my time ... the entry barrier is too high :/

No Seattle? :(

There's a lot of us folks at Microsoft/Google/Amazon that gr0k xkcd and would love to be there :)

There are 14 focussed 20-minute talks. The event is in downtown Bellevue on Saturday, Sep 26, 2009, and is from 10 AM - 5 PM. The book, "Seattle Startup Guide 2010" is also being given away free for registrants. I'm hoping to see some others from HN over there :)

[Edit] Price rises to about $140 if you miss today's deadline for early-bird registration.

I'm trying to understand how this differs from http://www.tripit.com/

If factoryjoe.com is down (it is for me), a mirror is here: http://www.iterasi.net/openviewer.aspx?sqrlitid=xbgjos4wt0wq...

http://wavesandbox.com/ is where people are getting developer accounts from the Google I/O Conference. You may directly navigate to it and add yourself to a waitlist too, if you're not registered at the Google I/O Conference.

It is an open protocol: http://www.waveprotocol.org/

It appears that this is Australian-based at this time? Not of much value to US consumers until it gets populated with relevant data from US airports (I cannot even pick "Seattle" as my home airport at this time).

I'm not sure how this brings me more value than Kayak or Farecast, but I did think the integration with facebook connect was nifty - nicely done! :)

IE8 has exactly that:

Unfortunately, India still does not recognize dual citizenship. For the gory details, see: [1] http://immihelp.com/nri/overseascitizenshipindia/ [2] http://immihelp.com/nri/pio-vs-oci.html

The author's claim that "The Indian government extends dual citizenship" is therefore incorrect.

Very impressive with the relevancy of the results!
