bio4m··on Mailpile – taking e-mail back
Exactly this. Mailpile sounds like a good idea in principle until you start looking at the underlying tech. They explicitly say they will not be implementing a MTA. Since an eavesdropper knows who youre sending to and what the subjects are youre a bit vulnerable to a literal brute force attack: http://xkcd.com/538/
bio4m··on Show HN: Outfox. Beautiful drag and drop email
Looks a lot like the Sparrow Mac OSX client turned into a web interface. While it looks good, do we really need another webmail service ?
bio4m··on I am under surveillance by Canadian agents, my computer has been backdoored
Nothing wrong with black suits, in London theyre very common among business people. Not everyone has the luxury of wearing t-shirts and jeans to the office.
bio4m··on Valve starts promoting Steam for Linux to Windows users
Blatant sensationalism; its on their About page and appears to users of all OS's, not just Windows. Just had a look on a Mac and Linux and the page is static.
bio4m··on $89 Exynos4412 1.7Ghz ARM Cortex-A9 Quad-Core 2GB
Thats an old school EPROM setup; never used one myself but heard they were a right pain to use.

Jetbrains site seems to be down completely now; I keep getting a maintenance page
bio4m··on How 5 years of reading HN enabled me to build the website for my business
I'd suggest the next step is looking into setting it up on your own host; say an AWS micro instance. Will cut your costs considerably, since an Micro instance runs about $15 a month + bandwidth. Theres plenty of guides available on how to set up and secure your own web host. Either way, all the best with your endeavour, hope it works out!
bio4m··on BERG Little Printer available to pre-order
Its far too expensive for what it does. in the UK its £200 + shipping, while you can buy a brand new 7" tablet (the Nexus 7) for £159 + shipping.

And i daresay you'll get much more use out of a tablet than a small printer. This ones DOA.

unless the price drops to around £19.99 it will never see any traction. (Also no mention is made of how much the replacement paper rolls will cost; since its so dependent on consumables that's a glaring omission on their part)
