So if I keep drinking glucose every now and then would it benefit in keeping my willpower up?

Re:Yeoman.io - Quickly build beautiful web applications on Thursday June 28, 2012 @06:51AM (#4171020)
Wanted the site to more informative. Video dosen't really convey anything. When I clicked on the title: "Quickly build beautiful web apps"- I was expecting something totally different
Why was this article removed from HN home page?
* I'll see what I can do. * I am using Lucida Grande, but it needs to be installed on the machine. * Should I move it down like 2 pixles? Seems fine on my machine though

Thanks for the feedback. I am not english native - ran the blog through a online-grammer-checker something and it said everything is fine :)

Yeah thats true. But frankly I never got why practically "everybody" takes their screenshots on a mac - It's almost like I've to go buy a mac just to take the screenshots and do my screencasts.

P.s: I did buy a mac last year.

Hi. Thanks. Yeah noticed that too. Seems like bug in chrome? Can you try on firefox. That's the one where everything seems to be working just fine. reading localfiles, canvas and save image.
:), thanks, that'll cost server resource. I don't know if I can run it for free. I'll try though
Hi OP Here: Safarishot is a Js tool that will wrap your screenshots (taken on any os) in a nice safari window running on a mac.

1) That'll be cool and in fact easily implemented. One of the reason why it din't do it was Candidates need to setup the server and stuff. Some might readily have it, some might not, which might skew the overall time taken.

2) Agreed, may be ask them to login through facebook or twitter before solving the challenge?

3) Launched it like 20 days back :). I wanted a more complete demo with voice over but some suggested that my indian accent would turnoff a lot of audience. Have mailed a few voice over guys.

Over all, all the 3 can be done, will mail you once I have them in.

Thanks for taking the time to checkout cull.io!

Got it! Thanks. Will try. May be eat my own dogfood and try and give it free for anyone who would solve a challenge :)
Re:Meebo discontinued: shutting down on July 11, 2012 on Saturday June 09, 2012 @06:18PM (#4089495)
I kind of don't get it. Why do big companies buy other successful companies just to shut it down? Can't they just rebrand it or something? If they can't why even buy? Just for acquiring the technical talent?
