I'd love to see some statistics from Apple regarding Wi-Fi only iPad sales versus 3G/4G iPad sales.

Unfortunately, this is only a larger symptom of the role money plays in congress. I don't see bills like this stopping any time soon. sigh

Sounds a lot like Klout, and we all know how useful that is.

I teach a Skillshare class about UI/UX/Mockups/Wireframes for mobile apps and I recommend Moqups to my students as a quick and fast way to start working.

Thanks for a great product!

And yet posts like these usually get right to the top of the front page. People will continue to treat HN like mommy when HN continues to act like mommy.

This is great. Super easy to implement, too.

After the Kindle Fire, I don't know if I really trust Amazon to release quality hardware. The traditional Kindles are top of the line, but their foray into more advanced electronics hasn't been up to snuff.

They'll definitely need a huge hook in order to gain a solid market share. It can't be just an Amazon branded phone running a customized Android OS.

On Writing Well by William Zinsser (http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Well-30th-Anniversary-Edition/...) is fantastic. It's not specifically about ad copy, having passion about what you're writing, as well as the fundamentals in this book, will help a ton.

Every year I grow older brings a new understanding of the concept of nostalgia. Driving through an old neighborhood, even just 5 or 10 years later, can hit like a ton of bricks.

I can't even imagine what that taxi ride must have been like for her.

Thanks!

Great success story. Great links too (although, the 30x500 link is broken).

Thanks!

Really fascinating. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, I actually noticed that last night and forgot to deactivate it.

I've had no issues with screwdrivers or wrenches, it doesn't affect my iPhone at all (I've brushed that finger over every inch of that device trying to feel inside it) and it was surprisingly easy to adjust the way I carry heavy things.

I've tried, and from my experiments it has not been strong enough to destroy anything.

I love meeting other people with the implant and doing a "magnet handshake" by brushing the fingers next to each other.

I've actually heard this suggestion a lot. For me, wearing a magnetic ring is completely different from having the implant.

What was the name of that company that would post bad Yelp reviews then contact the company offering to even things out by posting positive reviews in exchange for cash?

Not sure what made me think of that...

I'm sure there's a startup somewhere building an app for that.

Yeah, I've been meaning to learn Python for a while now, and the sudden surge of posts here about Python have only re-enforced my desire to learn Python. That's next on the list (with the plans to learn enough to be "dangerous").

Thanks! And I'll take your advice about displaying the price on the landing page once I get home this evening.

How far is too far for building a culture of "fun with a little bit of weirdness?"

I find Zappos dedication to fun weirdness to be a little much to begin with. But now buying land surrounding your call-center with plans to build an entire city for employees to live/work/play in? And "dorms" to live in? That's a lot.

I'm all for free jet flights (http://www.launch.is/blog/leak-zappos-ceo-gives-employees-fr...) but this is a bit much for me. Guess that's why I don't work there.

Free idea: Create an app that provides a TiVo-like experience to all web video. You could "record" channels from YouTube the same way you'd queue TED, or even Hulu+, Netflix, et all.

Your app would automatically pull new streaming episodes for you to watch and manage the same way people use DVRs on televisions.

If internet TV, and "television app" really are the next thing...if you build an amazing version of this now, you'll be set.

Not only that, but you'd encourage more people to produce content, since viewing it and following new episodes would all happen in one place.
