Mayer has also indicated that she plans to make hiring and working at Yahoo more like where she came from at Google, where many key executives and employees have come to the Mountain View search giant through acquisitions.

From the page

" A hint of Facebook’s importance in our universe was the rapt attention paid to last week’s F8 developer conference, where Mark Zuckerberg announced some earth-shattering changes to profile pages and some new buttons and such. Traffic for the WSJ.com live blog of the event trumped traffic for every other single blog post on the site that day. "

Unlocked Nokia N900 allow you to do that. Available on Aamazon for $400. It runs maemo, but people are trying to port android over to it. I myself own the N900 and I am quite happy with it.

On a side note, I like the Nokia's hardware over Apple's.

One problem with any auto-fix script is what if it goes berserk? What if your mail server is dying because of overload and the auto-fix keep restarting it? The overload will never clear out. If you go with the auto-fix solution, remember to add a throttle to the number of times it restarts a service.

Re:Better YCombinator news with y pipes (filter links + fetch each page) on Wednesday September 10, 2008 @01:35AM (#300137)
@ScottWhigham , I fetch the entire page into the rss. The main idea was to be able to read the linked sites from my rss reader itself instead of clicking and going to the websites indivdually.

I used to read the "Ask *" topics, but I did not see too much in it (your mileage may vary :-) ), hence I am filtering it.

Y! pipes allows you to clone pipes, feel free to clone and change the rules to suit your needs.

@pedalpete - thanks for the feeddback. I will try to see if I can filter out the html markup to clean things up.

The y! pipes allows you to clone a pipe - feel free to clone & hack it up further (i.e. change the filtering rules etc.) according to your needs
