Love this idea. One less thing for me to have to carry in my bag.

All I could find was a disappointing mosaic version: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BEETHOVEN-MOSAIC-35-X25-INCH-B-W-WAL...

Yes, the Italian cashmere wool is quite expensive, as well as the shipping and customs fees out of Spain. I wish that I could sell it for cheaper!

Brilliant! I hadn't seen that, thanks.

What about Google Maps/Google Earth? They are arguably even more ubiquitous than Gmail and have thousands of different applications and purposes.

People use Google Maps to make new apps - ranging from practical [http://www.padmapper.com/] to artistic [http://thewildernessdowntown.com/] - on a daily basis while Gmail and Google Docs remain relatively stagnant.

Maybe the goal of working in Photoshop isn't to mimic the design pixel-by-pixel, but instead to "sketch."

Mocking things up in Photoshop can be really productive because everything you sketch (all of your background images, buttons, and art) can be used as an asset on your site with minimal effort.

Perhaps neither. In finding you attractive, I am interested in your character (your ideas, imagination, execution), so lying to me will be useless because I'm not interested in what you're working on as much as why and how you're working on it.

In taking you seriously, I am interested in your business (working with you, connecting you with people who might benefit your company), so lying to me will actually hurt you because you'll portray your company inaccurately.

Pretend for a second that you realize that girls read HN too.

If you massage the truth about your company, it's inconceivable that I would sleep with you, let alone take you seriously.

Yes, one shouldn't pass judgement on homeless people, but the music analogy doesn't hold.

I presume that, whether you listen to country or rap, there is some degree of choice in your actions. So many homeless people end up on the streets because of mental illness or domestic violence -- things that are absolutely out of their control.

So instead, at least for me, it is difficult to see and accept homelessness as an alternative lifestyle. It requires a different level of empathy.

Ron Shaich, Panera's chairman says he's “trying to find out what human nature is all about”: http://stlouis.bizjournals.com/stlouis/stories/2010/05/17/da...

Not sure if this is a reference to how employees and customers will behave in the context of the new store or to whether or not the store will manage to stay afloat at all.

True, being nit-picky in moments of beauty is annoying, but here the facts are not irrelevant. It's really interesting to look at all the permutations of the poem (like Nadine Stair's version http://www.omidia.com/thought/p_nadine.html) and the act of seeing the differences and particularities in each of the writing styles is beautiful in itself.

If you open the file in Adobe Acrobat Pro, there's a tool called "TouchUp Object" that lets you literally just click and delete the boxes.
