whatwhatwhat··on Is Steve Jobs Repeating His Past Mistakes?
My gut reaction was yes just because I had already had this thought before.
whatwhatwhat··on Facebook privacy issue: Google search reveals email addresses in Facebook
I just did this and it works.

If a user has an application such as advanced wall or super wall you can use the following to log people out.

The worst part is that if you just try to login again at the prompt (instead of going to facebook.com) you get redirected back to the post and logged out again in a loop.

Everyone has their own "last straw"... nothing wrong with a comment like his. I see more to complain about with yours

Maybe because when I saw it all I could think about was "What if it was my sister?" I just REALLY don't think those girls would appreciate that creep having pictures like that on his blog... not to mention they are bordering legality
whatwhatwhat··on Steve Jobs says Gizmodo tried to extort Apple
"And I thought deeply about this, and I ended up concluding that the worst thing that could possibly happen as we get big and we get a little bit more influence in the world is if we change our core values" -Jobs

As they get big?

whatwhatwhat··on Save My Life - help a fellow HN'er
My friend... I sent you an email as well... you need to start by eating REAL FOOD. Food that you can eat right off a tree. Animal parts that are whole and grown organically.

This is such an easy thing to do. Just take one trip to the grocery store and don't buy anything with nutrition label on it (all organic food).

It sounds like it is worth a try for you...

whatwhatwhat··on List of Hacker Spaces Around the World
I am from Omaha, Nebraska and I can say there is plenty of it going on... as far as official places to go? Not likely. Hackerspaces seems to confirm that

whatwhatwhat··on What happens to an unprotected human body in space?
This article just leaves me wanting to ask more questions...
whatwhatwhat··on Facebook caught sharing secret data with advertisers
That sounds like people being paid to exist
whatwhatwhat··on Tracking the European Flights Cancellations - Interactive Feature
Yeah, regardless of any sensible reasoning it's just funny that the country to blame for it all (sorta) still has an airport.
whatwhatwhat··on Tracking the European Flights Cancellations - Interactive Feature
What I find incredibly amusing is that the airport in Iceland is still operational...
whatwhatwhat··on The Day Einstein Died - Photo Gallery
He bribed people with alchohol repeatedly...

And the picture where they have Einstein's brain on a cutting board is a bit... well

I don't like that I have to login to do anything

whatwhatwhat··on ‘Suicide’ Query Prompts Google to Offer Hotline
I'm not sure about your comment however ethical it might be there is just a really fine line between providing "moral" results and really tampering with the truth. If retrofitting search results for "i want to kill myself" to results that would dissuade someone from killing themselves is OK; what about changing results for other unethical questions? How to kill an unborn baby? How to kill my dog? How to kill my hamster?
whatwhatwhat··on The Superstar Effect
this immediately made me think of 99designs.com

...but of course it applies everywhere

whatwhatwhat··on X-37B
NASA was definitely rigorous, maybe even overly so, and that is why they became such a money pit.

On the other hand NASA does so many damn things around the world that space flight can hardly be called it's specialty.

That was excellent!
whatwhatwhat··on Please review my web-based Emacs color theme generator
it is not incredibly user-friendly
whatwhatwhat··on Smallest Linux desktop PC, smaller than an apple (fruit)
That's pretty funny

... but basically useless

whatwhatwhat··on 99designs Launches $99 Logo Store
Who cares? Why is HN an advertisement portal? This is stupid.
whatwhatwhat··on Google Is Bing’s 4th Largest Referring Source
More people search on Google for Google than they do for Yahoo or Bing... that is just.... humorous
whatwhatwhat··on The New Digital Underclass
I guess he's talking about kids in developing countries...

The point he is making is clear, however, it doesn't take THAT long to develop some fundamental computer-related skills. I feel worse for old people.

whatwhatwhat··on Founder of ZOHO Gives Bootstrapping Tips on Mixergy
Sridhar- I think that was a great comment by you when you mentioned that you do not have an ego at Zoho. It was in response to Andrew's mentioning of Zoho members being able to use Google to login to Zoho.

I would also imagine that allowing members to use Google login on Zoho would somewhat beat the competitive advantage that Google has in this regard- in allowing their members to share one login across all of their apps. Good move.

I wonder how Zoho is able to manage so many apps. Do you have many different development divisions? You mentioned that you have over 1,000 employees. How many does it take to maintain just one of the apps? I'm sure it will be dependent on that app itself, but if you would allow us an estimation merely for the insight.

Thanks
