Any interest in selling it right now?
matt312··on How Reddit's cofounders built Reddit with an army of fake accounts
It seems difficult to get such a large team of quality writers. Did you pay them?
matt312··on Getty's New Watermark
The short URL link isn't just random, it correlates to the image's "Creative Image Number".

matt312··on Supporting IE Is Too Much Work
You're right, supporting IE9 isn't hard at all. IE8 is the problem. It's amazing how many people still use 8 -- and it's because of corporations who are slow to update software. The thing that annoys me is that Microsoft knows that businesses will use the current version of IE for many years to come, so they should be as cutting edge as possible, but they don't seem to care.
matt312··on Hacking The iPod: How I Earned $65K In High School
The author probably could not have gotten an internship with Apple. The one person I heard of Apple hiring like you explain was @comex, who worked on jailbreaks. By hiring @comex, they did 2 things:

1) Put an end to a jailbreaker's work 2) Hired someone to find security holes

While this is a pretty neat story, the author probably wouldn't be as valuable for Apple as someone like @comex would be.

Here is more information about that hire: http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/26/apple-hires-iphone-hacker-n...

matt312··on Show HN: Clutch.io helps you build iOS apps fast and update them instantly
You folks may want to all-out forward clutchio.com to clutch.io. I curiously tried it out, and some may find Chrome's security alert scary.
