Facebook Timeline Ad Displays "Random" Number of Friends
I got this ad on my facebook.. when i visited the next page to my surprise i was served the same ad with a different number of users who have already signed up for timeline. When I refreshed a few times i actually got a number less than i had previously gotten. Strange behaviour. Wonder what the reason for this is.
It's true, you wouldn't call the guys who created the atomic bomb mass murderers, however that doesn't change the disastrous consequences of their actions!
The internet has evolved into becoming our only defense against people in power ( be they governments or corporations ) conspiring to keep the status quo by keeping information from us. SOPA is their attempt at confiscating this wonderful tool we have for organisation and spreading information.
This discussion is part of a larger debate as to the balancing act of affording unchecked power to a selected group of people.

This entire debate reminds me of the Lokpal bill debate going on in India. Essentially asking – How do you police the police?
India's got SOPA

Reserve iPhone in selected store...
I like this. Good work!
The reason I think this extension makes sense is purely because users should have control over the way in which they read and see content. I'm not a big fan of restrictions being imposed on us just because some designer somewhere thought that's the way it should be. I've built in an editor that let's you create your own viewing interface. Give it a shot!
Show HN: MESH - The News, Entertainment and Social Hub
Wanted to show HN my chrome extension i've been coding over the past few weekends. The idea for MESH came from the fact that I didn't like how little you can customize other feed readers like Google Reader and the like. As I wen't on incorporating RSS feeds I realized I could include video. Social was the natural extension and what i ended up coding was an in-browser media hub.Please do...
