curtin··on The power of the RSS reader
I use to mess with rss and agree with Marco on the purpose of them. Then I found a better solution, just subscribe to some of the awesome curated newsletters out there that do all this for you. HN has one - http://hackernewsletter.com and Peter Cooper's tech focused ones (https://cooperpress.com/) keep you in the loop in a particular stack, plus a lot of others that I've seen.

Now I don't have to check anything these days, except my email, which of course I check everyday anyhow!

curtin··on Formlabs: High Resolution 3D Printer
In the comparison photos, is the poor quality one from something like a MakerBot? Maybe I've never seen a close-up photo before, but I always thought they created higher quality than that.
curtin··on Show HN: Ypander - Hackernews like it should be [for Chrome]
Hacker News is already the way it is suppose to be.

Anyone noticing a pattern here?

curtin··on The Psychology of Employee Retention
formal dress up days

For me, that would be opposite of a good retention strategy.

curtin··on FB stock down to $27 dollars
I don't see any point on putting FB's stock value on HN everyday.
curtin··on The best of $user on HN, with eBook export
What will be really cool is to see how the "hide comment scores" effect looks using this (assuming at some point they will be able to collect that). I think the one liner type comments might show a big drop.
curtin··on Third richest man in China lives on $20 a day, eats same meals as workers
Maybe he doesn't keep any of it and gives it all away.
curtin··on What do bosses do all day? The shocking truth...
Not very shocking if you ask me.
curtin··on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)
Those keybindings look awesome and make me want to upgrade. Guess I will try it out in a VM first though.
curtin··on Kevin Hale, Co-founder of Wufoo, on Mixergy
I liked the Thank You card idea Kevin talked about and might have to start trying that myself.
curtin··on Is IE9 a modern browser?
Firefox does the same thing though. The only browser that doesn't IMHO is chrome.
