It is interesting to notice that Gandhiji is on every currency note. No one else is good enough to be on it?
Re:Show HN: Feedback app on Tuesday May 14, 2013 @05:51PM (#5708560)
Feedback for this feedback app: it does not like uploads. Upload fails with message 'Hello. We haven't been formally introduced yet but I'm Sir Red Pen. I'm sorry to say I've let you down. This upload has failed. I'm deeply sorry. This usually doesn't happen. I swear. I will reload the page for you and I ask you try again. I will get it right this time.'
I've seen a few articles mention Florida in the same way like "Oh Florida". What is it about Florida that people are referring to?
Re:Path texts my entire phonebook at 6 AM on Tuesday April 30, 2013 @12:42PM (#5633267)
I just noticed, in that apology letter, the line:

"... Your trust matters to us and we want you to feel completely in control of your information on Path. ..."

So they want you to feel in control.

A name suggestion:

slighttp (from Simple LIGHTweight HTTP) (Just 205 results on google)

Not really on topic, but in that article, why would the paragraph "title" texts made up of images? (that appear to be in-page data).

Nothing mean about it. Very well-written and good advice, it is.
I'm referring to the fact that they have 6 adapters, as listed on this page: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/mac_accessori.... They don't really need 6, do they?
This is a good thing they are doing. However, I wonder why they have so many different power adapters for their MBP, MBA and rMBP's. Each one is going to go into a landfill one day and Apple could certainly design it so that they reduce the environmental impact that comes with creating more stuff of this kind that is so avoidable.
