interesting series- keep it up!
I'd be interested to look into it if you recall the name- I researched quite a few start pages concepts, and many of them require too much work to set up for users, or add clicks instead of removing them. I tried to make it a 1-click experience for as many services I could think of :)
thanks for your comment- the default search now is Google :) for auto-suggest, it does not seem to work well on iOS so far.

I've spent a couple of weeks at Communitech and the energy is absolutely amazing. Everybody was incredibly driven.

If not mistaken, Communitech even claimed that "one new startup comes out from there every day".

I can't believe he used "Operating System" as "Decision Making Framework".

Re:Tampon now lets you buffer tweets with pictures on Monday September 17, 2012 @01:49PM (#4533804)
I think anything other than tampon would be fine. Since it's open source, might as well call it "tweet_scheduler".

Call it Baffa (Japanese translation of Buffer)

It's thoughtful, useful and minimal. Why isn't this popular yet?
"1,660km: Farthest travelled by a dog"

I initially thought this one was a joke. Turns out it wasn't: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spaceflight_records#Lon...

There're even stamps produced as a tribute to these space dogs: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/Veterok_a...

"Try something that scares the hell out of you. It just might turn into something wonderful."

Wise words, indeed.

I like it that they especially tailored this for newbie (like me). I learned so much progressing the levels (from nothing). The people at #irc were super helpful too (while not revealing the answer)
Re:Good riddance, PayPal on Thursday September 06, 2012 @10:26AM (#4484242)
In Asia, you have no alternative (at all). You either use PayPal (which suck), or 2CheckOut (suck less).

Some Android device owners simply have not choice. Their devices aren't support/capable of running ICS.
Re:Nokia Faked Its New Lumia 920 PureView Ad on Wednesday September 05, 2012 @10:24PM (#4482564)
Busted!

But it's amazing to see how Nokia thought they can get away with this.
