Portugal, a member of the EU has an extradition treaty with India, where criminals can be killed by the state. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/India-Portugal-sign...

Abu Salem was actually extradited from Portugal to India before this treaty existed

The very same "inventor" has a patent on sharing routes https://www.google.com/patents/US20130332076
anyone have a link to the leaked forecast?

This product must have sounded like a good idea to some clueless but slightly rich tech charlatans. Looking at the product page, a mediocre genius like me can tell:

The intro video tells zilch about the product. Tries to sell some grandiose vision about hands. As if they have evolutioned hands for snakes. That's a sore sign that there's not much to the product.

"A creativity station. A fully functioning PC. Whatever you want to call it, Sprout can do it. " I want to call it the spaceship voyager on a mission to the planet of the MBAs.

"Blending the physical and digital worlds that you live in, Sprout unleashes your creativity like never before." if by that you mean it makes you want to rant creatively, sure.

where did they get the yeti image in the demo?

why?
I'm on firefox 28.0 on mavericks. keep up the good work!
Really nice app! could not go back and forward, though. (I'm on firefox)

Ask HN:When will html 5 become the standard for mobile apps?

I think mobile apps are a very inefficient way of developing, specially if you want your product to work cross platform. Arguably, it seems to be the speed issue that keeps most companies from choosing html5. When does the HN crowd think that web technologies will become the standard for developing across mobile phones?

The rules are more complex. I'd say just do away with the refer(r)er. http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/47405/how-can-...

Maybe later when you have a real problem, fix it then. Let's cross bridges when we come to the river, that way we'll all have much simpler code!

There's a problem here. browsers do not send Referrer when on an https site. And they refuse to work without the header

For geeks: could not find "Referrer" header.
