I don't think having a logo in the front is a big deal. My laptop, monitors, and tv's have logos on them and honestly it doesn't distract me at all, probably because the screens are bright or maybe I've just become accustomed to them.

Three at the moment, though it changes. I always have a personal one and then a few others for my pet projects.

I'm currently working on a few projects and finishing my last semester of college, but I might be able to help if I like your idea. :)

I think the MacBook Pro 15" is pretty light already, I'm already content with it. If I were to get an iPad, it would be like a downgrade, at least that's how I would feel about it.

No matter how good the iPad may be or is, it doesn't replace my laptop! Good try though.

301 :)

Not that's probably an issue, but the site looks too much like apple!

Yeah, what is the algorithm?

What would be cool is if you implemented something like Netflix, you know like a recommendation engine. Something that bases of your tastes and preferences and also uses the preferences of those users that have similar tastes as you do. Base on that you can recommend what's "worth reading." :)

I just noticed: Web Results 1 - 10 of about 157 for unixkcd. (0.04 nanocenturies) I didn't know google showed nanocenturies!

EDIT: Apparently google is just having fun as when I refresh I also see:

Web Results 1 - 10 of about 190 for unixkcd. (1.21 gigawatts)

  Web Results 1 - 10 of about 190 for unixkcd. (11.90 parsecs)

Web Results 1 - 10 of about 198 for unixkcd. (0.02 femtogalactic years)

Web Results 1 - 10 of about 198 for unixkcd. (0.09 microfortnights)

Web  Results 1 - 10 of about 190 for unixkcd. (0.12 centibeats)

All interesting units of time. :)

I bet they do, they're quite fun to watch.

It's been a year since I last did business with Mammoth Printshop since I really had the need to print more shirts, but they're really good. Cool peeps!

I don't think that would be a problem. At school we have a vending machine that uses like a little "bucket" lack of a better term. The bucket slides up to the drink you choose, then the drink slides into the bucket upright and comes out through an opening. This machine serves glass bottles like Sobe and Starbucks which wouldn't be good to roll down the chutes as they could break. So I am sure this vending machine I'm referring can be use to serve this squared bottle design.

Looks pretty awesome, but I would think it would feel weird holding due to the edges. I would make the middle part of it a bit rounder for better grip and hold.

iAd sounds too much like iPad, if true maybe they can name it iVertise, if it's available of course.

So :D => :) ?

Hmm... I wonder if it had a 140 character limit.

I believe he's referring to privacy concerns.

I believe he wants to know if the poster knows php as he didn't list it on the post.

You're right I wouldn't log in using my FB account, but at least this would reduce the number of cocks.

I would have to say the only thing that bugs me is the many different font styles and colors. I'm not feeling the #B55008. Just giving you my meaningless opinion. :)

A few weeks ago a post of the same nature as this was posted. It's worth noting: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1130419

Don't use elance, you have to pay to bid and usually you never get hire for a gig. Instead you might want to try oDesk, I go on there when I have nothing to do and I usually get gigs within hours.

I couldn't resist to download this app, so I did, and tested it. Took a picture of a red logitech wireless mouse and it was able to recognized in a few seconds. It knew it was a red logitech brand mouse, though it didn't' get the model right, but nonetheless it was able to classify it pretty well. I also took a picture of my toshiba laptop, this time it only knew it was a laptop.

Overall it's pretty awesome! They're doing a fine job with this thus far. I applaud them.

I wonder if Joel Spolsky had some influence on Alex. I really enjoyed his blog.

Maybe the picnik acquisition has a purpose, possibly to ship it with chromeOS considering it is based on the cloud.

I liked what the author posted in the comments section:

Sigh. My silly rant about ponies gets to #1 on Hacker news, while my serious, carefully researched 3000-word post on host-proof hosting languishes in obscurity. Oh, the humanity. ;)

Wow, this definitely has great value and will potentially do very well. I currently work part-time as a developer for an online school that launched last year. We have a niche market to which we offer specific courses which are needed for certification in their field. We did very well in terms of revenue the first year.

I’m assuming they will make their money by allowing teachers to charge for certain courses in return they’ll get a percentage. In other words, they’ll be a middleman.

SocratED certainly has a great advantage since their audience will not just pertain to a type of student, but rather anyone who wants to teach or learn. For example where I work now our flow chart is service->student, but with SocratED it’s service->teacher->student where (->) represents cash flow.

I also must add, love the UI, very clean and simple.

Congratulations and good luck crocodoc team!
