facebook isnt doomed for the reason you say or wish. in the same way freindster and myspace became old news it will fade out when something new comes along. the average person dosent care about security or even understand it

I hate it but i love the fact you have tried it
None of them like to log. For example when you contact a company asking for it they are reluctant to just hand it over without knowing why. You often have to tell them that your password got out into the wild. They cant put the ips because people would realise how many times their accounts get hacked and they would run around the internet saying how insecure it is.

Re:Ask HN: How have HN readers bought diamond engagement rings? on Thursday December 27, 2012 @03:46AM (#4972813)
Make it a holiday and go to the diamond mines in South Africa or Namibia to see them digging it out. Its a magical experience and you can get blood diamonds at a much better price than store bought.
This is not the first time i have heard of people having full access to yahoo servers for a substantial amount of time.

Re: Is this the worst website ever made? on Sunday December 16, 2012 @01:19AM (#4927523)
as an online marketer that actually creates revenue as opposed to 95% of HN readers that have unprofitable startups. These sites arent bad at all. Just because they arent resposive and dont have jquery or whatever junk dosent make them bad.
Re:Ask HN: Obtain a domain from a squatter by trademarking on Friday December 07, 2012 @03:37PM (#4889140)
If he owns the domain before you setup your business and do the trademarks he can keep the domain. Your logic is very flawed because you don't understand the process.

Re:Set Up a Raspberry Pi as a Personal Web Server on Wednesday November 28, 2012 @02:07PM (#4844099)
I personally think you are missing the point.

This is not about setting up a big old large laptop a server or using a big old desktop as a server.

This is about using something that costs a few dollars to be and is the size of a cigarette packet to do it all.

But the problem is you think you are shit hot and they suck. They may think they are shit hot and think you suck.

I would probably just get on with my job and keep my mouth shut.

Thanks for your feedback Mahesh. I didn't realize it was so bad so i will make a point of pushing the new design live asap. Everyone has to start somewhere though. Most of the product are from data-feeds so its just trying to create the best we can do with different formats and different information.
Re:Show HN My Search Engine and Coupon Site on Monday October 22, 2012 @10:24AM (#4683260)
Splatsearch.com came alive before Backrub and was used quite a lot. It went into neglect and wasn't ever built on because Google became the big player. I recently bought the domain from the owner for the low $thousands because I loved it and it was one of the first search engines I used. The plan is to build some kind of intelligent search engine but to fund it I have created a comparison site and coupon search engine. It covers quite a few country's and 3 languages.

I would love a peer review from fellow HN`ers to know how well I am doing.
