Possibly fixed?

I'm not seeing this vulnerability now via Mac FireFox 3.6.12 or Safari.

Some great new (HN) neighbors?

I appreciate my life choices for not having such a fellow on my radar (spelling is Ferriss - I discover by searching on Amz).

Yet I wonder how I could have become so cynical as to doubt the "socially redeeming value" of an ~author~ who gets a book published by including claims such as:

> YOU WILL LEARN (in less than 30 minutes each):

> How to lose those last 5-10 pounds (or 100+ pounds) with odd combinations of food and safe chemical cocktails.

> * How to prevent fat gain while bingeing (X-mas, holidays, weekends)

> * How to increase fat-loss 300% with a few bags of ice

> * How Tim gained 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days, without steroids, and in four hours of total gym time

> * How to sleep 2 hours per day and feel fully rested

> * How to produce 15-minute female orgasms

> * How to triple testosterone and double sperm count

> * How to go from running 5 kilometers to 50 kilometers in 12 weeks

> * How to reverse “permanent” injuries

> * How to add 150+ pounds to your lifts in 6 months

> * How to pay for a beach vacation with one hospital visit

Where are Mike, Morley, Bradley? Even Rooney? Sorry but I could hardly believe this was from 60 minutes: with the OverTheTop "reporter" lady. "The whole internet [exuberant smiley face]?"

His page at http://people.ischool.berkeley.edu/~hal/ says he's retired from Cal and now at Google.

I've bookmarked his page of academic papers. Unsurprisingly, since his getting affiliated with Google about 8 years ago, he's written on economics of Search: http://people.ischool.berkeley.edu/~hal/people/hal/papers.ht... and on the Google Library Project.

Sure wish he (or someone) would be funded to do an update of this (2000 pub date) study. I wonder what additional variables might need to be factored in by now.

I'll agree that embarrassing information was released.

But I think the allegation of "eleasing classified information, treason..." needs to be proven ( at least better evidenced ) before suppression by governmental (quasi-governmental?) retaliation.

Because i know enough to "game" the system - and that "print" for many sites will give me a cleaner (flash-free, animated-gif-free) window.

OTOH: I've no problem with the print dialogue that opens along with the cleaner page. My "esc" key works just fine.

Who are these reporters. Where is the analysis?

The paint with a broad brush trends at which they "tsk, tsk" without presenting the data, discussing what criteria constitute evidence of "bubbling", or demostrating overvaluation.

Consider:

"The chief evidence, according to industry experts and analysts, is the way venture capitalists and established companies are clamoring to give money to young companies, including those with only a shred of an idea. "

Which "experts and analysts"? ?All? of them? Do none dissent? How much of "an idea" is "as shred of an idea." Do they mean "only a shred of a business plan?"

I believe this meets the criterion for "a bubble of journalism."

Look out for Rupert: it seems the NYT has surrendereed.

A chemical imbalance may be involved.

But better biochemistry doesn't necessarily produce better living/feeling.

A psychologist/ licensed counselor / psychotherapist [ i.e., "talk therapy ] can be really important to help your cognitive processes, keep you on track with reality checks. "Meds" are not magic bullets, do not kick in immediately, and it may take several tries to find one that helps you. Meanwhile, if you don't have sufficiently supportive/sophisticated social network around you, it's important to pay for an experienced professional. Been there. Best of luck.

What the eff ? :

"Safari can’t open the page “https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/01/primer-information-the... because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “www.eff.org”."

I second your points and add...

Not being an iPhone user, I am confused that I cannot tell whether this will have any relevance to me on my Mac. Nor can I find any indication of how I may register in order to log in (or whether registration is free).

I found the wikipedia entry useful in citing specific interesting studies (e.g., suggesting >50,000 IUs/day (orally) may be needed for toxicity). Plus a clarification of the 'how' of sunlight-produced D self-limiting:

Annoyed me, too. Feel free to discover the tiny 'x' in upper right corner. Closed once, Jimmy's pitch will stay away thanks to cookies.

Yes, it is always possible to be misinterpreted. But a presentation is an organic whole designed to minimize such misinterpretation - and usually designed to do so through careful coordination of slides and audio. I see no reason to feel required to make a partial presentation available when that subset might encourage misunderstanding.

Consider: would Apple ever release a Jobs Keynote with slides-only. Not likely. The alternative they provide is to make the entire presentation (or select portions) available as complete AV presentations (QT or whatever).

I was going to DL this to peruse later... then found it was a 51MB pdf. Really: got to love that slideshare.

I thought this pretty weak compared to, for example, "Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs" by Carmine Gallo.

And... all the plugs for SlideShare in the presentation: what's with that? Started to feel like more of an infomercial than anything. I'd recommend spending 15 minutes just scanning Gallo's book at a book (I did. then bought it anyway.)

Interesting recommendation. I had trouble telling (from index.html page) whether this was alt to QuickBooks, but since the features page includes "Integrate QuickBooks to eliminate data entry"... apparently it sits atop QB and bases it analysis on what you've entered. Bookmarked. Thanks for the lead.

Interestingly different (but still very attractive) in Opera or FF.

Here's the part that sounds like a break-through convenience to me:

>a next-generation Wi-Fi print architecture that dramatically

>simplifies printing by completely eliminating printer drivers

Interesting thoughts about the psychology of the writer - how s/he's affected by the "payment" or "firewall" status of the site. Feld's reactions match what I've sort of expected from myself if in a write-for-fee mode.

Most other discussions have been geared toward the reader's reaction. I think the impact on authors is equally significant (and might need to be addressed differently?).

I am impressed with your approach (and like the hosting business model you blokes seem to be employing at feralhosting.com).

Put you in my address book in case I ever develop for a UK-audience site.

I felt the same way ...so strongly that it took me several days to notice the little 'x' in upper right corner. However, after once having clicked box, wikipedia remembered for me (on all pages) that I did not want to be distracted by Jimmy's rugged good looks.

I find that a plain click on this opens the list.

But an "open in new window" click gives me a blank box (Safari 5.0.2). Ah, cutting edge technology.

That's why for applications that I do not want to quit easily I set "Application (keyboard) Shortcuts" [ OS X ] to require something less commonly used (like cntl-opt-cmd-Q) for quitting. [ OS X System Preferences -> Keyboard ]

Regarding the "API blocked"...

Seems to be feeding fine as of Mon eve (Nov 8)

Funny: I do so much research on Amz that I am accustomed to zeroing in on just info I really want - with the result that I can browse for months without noting new features (treasure chest buttons, etc).

Any thoughts about (optionally) turning URLs into hotlinks? Or (as suggested on techcrunch comments) having (hideable) due dates?

I was sure hoping this was going to be about information archiving - and its long-term issues.

Why did ReadWriteWeb omit the needed subtitle:

"IE CSS3 compliance continues to bring up the rear"

I sympathize. "No 1st gen. Macs" has been my mantra for over 20 years.

That said, I am certainly pleased with the 27" iMac I scarfed up upon their intro last year (excuse: I needed a new machine then).

On the bright side: The article linked suggests to me that software updates may be all that is required. (Hence: not a huge issue; just requires a little patience). Apple hardware has come (on average) so far in QA from ten years ago.

Obviously there is a lot of distress over the scans. Worse yet is the sense of powerlessness.

What if a permanent record was made of everyone's objection to the process - even as they acquiesce?

Sure, this is a little juvenile, but how about the "Hawaiian good luck sign" - as used by the POWs of the USS Pueblo?:
