The base price will update once a day (on average) but I'm hoping to build something based on facebook likes and twitter tweets that affects it and we can check that a few times a day without doing affecting the endpoint servers

or they login via twitter then refer the facebook account.. not that I've seen that happen already.

Your not the first person to request that, looks like I have some research to do

Yeah to be honest I haven't thought like that at all, if it gets popular I thought of selling a sponsor slot on the shares.. or doing some sort of promotion within the daily stock update emails..

Yep I was emailed and tweeted this a few minutes after the first one was spotted.. that's fixed and deployed now :)

I'll look for you in the database and reset your dollars

I'd love to talk about how I can take the factors and make a decent stock price with someone who actually knows a bit about stocks!

Sure It's Ruby / Rails + MySQL

I'm happy to add that but this is the first request :) the prize is a mystery prize (but I also own a sweet shop so you could take a guess ;) )

Hey HN, this weekend I built a stock market game based on a dataset of the top million sites (ordered by the amount of links pointing towards them)

It needs quite a bit of tweaking but that will come as I get more data, reaction so far as been great but I'd love some comments from HN :)

but you have to turn them off for each app you can't just disable them as a whole.

I really hope they can move to bootstrap full / part time and really kickstart it into something that merges bootswatch with wrapbootstrap.. I want to give bootstrap money.. this is a good step :)

"Sign up & Get Started Now!"

Thats exactly what your call to action says.. but thats blatantly a lie.. It gives the expectation of instant access.

"Sign up to learn more, Coming Soon, Be the first to know"

all alternative CTA's that are less deceitful.

I think people are taking the lean startup method of throwing a landing page up to gain intrest a little too far, this feels quite deceiving and to be honest has annoyed me that oh.. I'm just signing up to a mailing list and have to actually invite my friends to be 'front of the line'.. makes me feel like nothing has actually being built at all apart from a pretty landing page.

Nice idea but it seems strange to have this as a separate app, if I'm always forgetting about favours, I'm going to forget to load that app all the time and respond to items.

What about a layer that adds this to my current ecosystem (gmail todos?, RTM, twitter bot?)

I like the MVP of the site but I think you could do with a bit more information on how the app looks and works UI wise.

Good luck mate

A friend of mine (@tomscott) recorded a talk he's done recently about Privacy, I assumed it had been posted but it's not so here it is..

"A five-minute story of a possible future: lifelogging, privacy, and a member of Parliament caught in a scandal"

and windows ME

Am I the only one who finds kickstarter search so frustrating? all I want to find is all the technology products orders by recently added.. am I missing something blatant

I've a feeling the site might go down, if it does here is the text of the announcement-

I started a sweet shop (online and offline) in September... I'd have probably done that a lot earlier in life..

Pricing - Comming soon (should be Coming Soon) or ideally should be listed from the beginning ;)

A lot of the examples at the bottom seem to either be blank or break your webserver seeing a lot of

Error Occurred While Processing Request Element XMLATTRIBUTES.IMAGEID is undefined in a Java object of type class coldfusion.xml.XmlNodeMap referenced as ''

The error occurred in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\iorad\app\dspHTMLPlayer.cfm: line 777

Was just posted this by a friend and am absolutely gobsmacked...

You come up with an idea and then get assigned 'resources' who build it for the next 36 hours.. then when its all done.. you split the winnings 50% / 50%..

Really puts a bad taste in my mouth.

(Sort of disclaimer, I compete in a lot of hackdays and I run http://www.leedshack.com in the UK)

I have lots of questions... like... what is your product? what does it do? why should I use it?

Not trying to be arsey... just getting really sick of launchrock pages that tell you naff all about the product and expect an email address..

Also I'm not sure I'd trust a legally binding service to a .me domain..

now I'M going to read it as sweatshop! :)

I really like being able to bridge the gap between online and offline things... so in September a friend of mine and myself put together a prototype of a sweetshop concept, today we have relaunched the website with some new features and a new design..

I've been looking at this for a few days and I really like it, it's a bit of a risk for me as it seems to be a US product and I'm in the UK (not sure if it works with chip and pin)

But you still need a device to stream it to... I've been looking for a way of running our conference using apple tv's I'd love to be able to send all the keynote presentations to the apple tv without having to have a device to stream them..

When the Apple TV gets apps I think we will start to see the beginning of the end for Nintendo... thats the iPod for on the move and the Apple TV for the home casual gaming..

You can buy a wii game for £40 or almost 80 59p silly games on the Apple tv... and using iphones / ipod touches as an additional controller...

that was exactly my thought process, I've found technical ebooks < $10 are a pretty much instabuy as I know I'll be stuck on a train one day looking for something to read

Pretty sure this is mostly why DVD's come out at the end of tours or during the middle of a new tour to stop that exact thing happening, they might do a couple of the old gags but mostly it will be fresh material (unless your Peter Kay)
