klon··on Real world analysis of google's webp format versus jpg
Strange artifacts in the first JPG image, looks more like a GIF with reduced colors.
klon··on Founding a startup with zero revenue is better than working for Goldman Sachs
Favorite quote: "But things weren’t all bad! At its best, when the markets presented an apocalyptic Boschian landscape of damned souls torn asunder by hellish tortures, every Goldman grunt, sargeant, or general would close ranks and form a Greek phalanx of greed."

In Russia, programmers get the respect they deserve!
klon··on I just launched my bootstrapped startup. Pray for me.
Agree. The illustrations are nice but the logo could use improvement!
klon··on ISendr: Our New On-Demand Peer to Peer File Transfer Webapp
Did not work for me as I could not connect to my peer and my peer could not connect to me.
klon··on Jesse Schell’s mindblowing talk on the future of games
Sounds like a pretty dark future to me.
klon··on Dropbox has an IANA port number now
Is the Dropbox protocol open and has an RFC? If not I think IANA should revise their practices to only allow registration of ports for protocols that do.
klon··on Ask HN: Is a .net domain good enough?
Alright maybe I didn't word that very well but the current owner has a boilerplate ad page with related keyword ads which leads me to believe he has no plans to make anything of the name. What do we call those?

klon··on Murdoch: We’ll probably remove our sites from Google’s index
I was making a remark regarding dropping his content from Google. Wouldn't you say one of the important aspects in new media is getting your content visible to search engines in order to monetize it?
klon··on How to curb Internet addiction?
This tool could be helpful if you are on OS X: http://visitsteve.com/work/selfcontrol/

Page also contains links to other useful apps. I really like Spirited Away.

klon··on Murdoch: We’ll probably remove our sites from Google’s index
He showed just how incredibly oblivious he is to the workings of new media.
klon··on Ask HN: do you feel Google search result quality has gone down?
I have noticed this too and find it very irritating. I expect ALL words to be present. Why did they change this?

Now we're two.
klon··on The Internet sky really is falling
She
klon··on NIN Reaction to iPhone App Store Rejection
It's sad that Apple can get away with this. Somehow competition is not working like it should in this market.
