Looks very promising but Telcos and social networking giants might have something to say about users being able to connect and share among themselves bypassing their hubs

Thanks for sharing this! it got me playing like a kid ;)

based on all Stellar addresses and the balances I found here http://www.reddit.com/r/Stellar/comments/2cztpg/all_stellar_...

you want the internet to be widespread? Promote things like long-range wifi and mesh networks.

I'm on a tablet now, what libraries is he using?

Great idea! I would suggest adding an option to read the highlighted text so as to make sure you can get the plugin to work even when it can't detect the portion of the page where the article is.

why is G+ the only way to share?

how about a phone ring? http://beta.veriring.com/

This is my last side project. It is a lightweight and easy to integrate phone verification system.

As I am based in Italy, I need some beta testers from United States and United Kingdom to start using the system so that I can fine-tune it before release.

I'd ve said the guy was a computer scientist, surprisingly he is mech eng!

Thank you cl8ton! sorry, your email is not public. Can you mail me? info (4t) veriring (dOt) com

If PGP is the solution then a first step could be to agree on a standard markup inside the email so that we could point the email client to the public PGP for automatic unencryption.

I have implemented Piwik widgets in my latest project for tracking visitors to personal pages. When you visit this page http://reminderof.me/ruggero I see the insight on my dasbhboard.

IMHO Piwik is a valid open-source alternative to Google Analytics and will erode its application marketplace.

When it says "within five minutes all known" does it mean that the ISP translates the IP address with the name of the person who signed the contract with the Provider?

Noo I was pushing the last commit before releasing

I see it useful for monitoring competitors. It would be great to have a kind of charting feature to visualize data à la webnumbr

I wonder whether these interfaces have the same lag as Phonegap/Cordova interfaces....

Nice Idea!

Not to be picky but on on http://one-div.com/about/ there is a space missing. Search for "logos.All"

Brilliant! this opens up for collaborative LaTex files generation online.

down for me

it is the kind of spammy-like detail you are likely to find in popup windows that probably is blind to me

wasn't the content encrypted on MegaUpload then?

I didn't even notice there was a hidden message triggered by the mouseover..... I remember that once this practice was discouraged by many usability recommendations!

Here are my suggestions. Have fun :) http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4966023

Thinking with type gives you an in-depth view into what are the roots of modern typesetting. At first I was pretty amazed in finding out that Italy (which also happens to be the country where I am from) gave a strong contribution to type design during Renaissance. However my purpose of reading wasn't about history. It was about going less random when having to choose a font from a set for a presentation or a website. At least having in mind what are the basic rules to follow when mixing type and setting paragraphs. This is what the second and third part of the book deal with and I would say that the book helped me to get acquainted with that altought much of the experience comes with practice and further reading.

For what concerns the book about color the main reasons for reading it were that I wanted to know what color fit well together and even though I am at 75% of the book I would say that I am still not 100% satisfied with the book because it lacks a bit of exercises for the reader. So far I particularly appreciate the highlights at the end of each chapter and the part of the book dedicated to light

Since Illustrator is a great playground for color and type I thought to give it a try. As it appears a bit complicated at first sight I decided to If you already have some web design technical background this book flows very fast and I would recommend it together with vector tuts for getting your hands on illustrator in a fast way.

I have been eating a lot of information since I got online. I have 1000+ RSS feeds, 1000+ facebook pages and 500+ followed people on twitter, 1000+ subscription to newsletter which crowd my inbox. But what is really important to me? The Information Diet gives a framework for healthy information consumption by comparing information consumption to food consumption. The gist is that you should consume more information from the source and less from re-posting content factories which chase the synonyms just to get better SEO ranking. What I particularly didn't like about the book is that the author has been writing too much about American politics as an example. As a non-american I would have preferred more international topics. But I must admit that politics is a good example to get concept like self reinforcement of your own truth across.

In Gamification by Design I got some best practices for design patterns that make websites more stimulating for the user to participate. The best concept I got were: walk the user throught all the steps from beginner to master, useful stuff to do this are leaderboards and badges. The book however is a bit of advertisement for ruby on rails and badgeville.

Last but not least Enterprise Games: Using Game Mechanics to Build a Better Business has a lot of concepts which are probably already known to a web designer but not to a manager in a manufacturing enterprise but is still a good way to get started with gamification for people who don't have an extensive experience with online tools.

Hope you will find my comments useful. I'm now thinking of editing the post....

Funny thing is that I am not a designer too! I'm a business/web developer usually focused more on the code's side rather than UX side. This is why I read: the Understanding Color: An Introduction for Designers Thinking with Type: A Primer for Designers: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students and Illustrator CS4 for dummies

Based on your question I would go for the first 2 books: they are useful even for word processing and powerpoint slide-making
