I like interesting words ...
Clicking on the word reveals it's meaning ... and a reload gets another word.
I'm currently working on harvesting various corpora and on different measures of "interesting".
I might add commenting on specific words and submission of words soon.

The problem with the idea of such a website is who decides what is a positive act and what's a negative act ? Maybe some sort of voting mechanism by interested users?
Re:ZumoDrive launches Palm webOS and Google Android clients

Not really.
ZumoDrive doesn't use space on your drive for it's storage. It simulates a network drive as far as your OS is concerned.
Dropbox actually uses space on your drive , and syncs that across your machines.
So , ignoring local caching done by ZumoDrive , we could think of it being network intensive , whereas Dropbox is space intensive.
(I could be wrong and would love clarification. Also, 'intensive' is probably not the word I'm looking for , but I can't come up with a better one now)

> Two of them, John Petrucci and John Myung, spent their high school days fanatically devoted to practice (before applying to Berklee together). During that time they had an agreement with each other to practice their respective instruments six hours a day, and if they hung out in the evening it was with the understanding that they'd finished their six hours practice.

Re:Ask HN: What strategy would you take to build a search engine today?
on Friday August 28, 2009 @06:03PM (#792379)
One step at a time :)
What you suggest would benefit from the performance/feedback from what the OP suggests.
This is basically what I am interested on working on currently , using "clues" gleaned from what the user is doing (a la RescueTime) to reorganize/reformulate a user's search query.

Re:Ask HN: Can iPhone camera be used to give you a full size keyboard?

i dont understand , are we still talking about a qwerty keyboard? or a special kind with just two rows, one of which is a "home" row that is placed wherever certain fingers are?
Re:Ask HN: Can iPhone camera be used to give you a full size keyboard?
on Thursday August 13, 2009 @07:41PM (#762002)
how would the computer know which key your finger was on to figure out what keys are relative to that finger?
Re:Ask HN: Can iPhone camera be used to give you a full size keyboard?
on Thursday August 13, 2009 @06:34PM (#761878)
you'd need to know where 'Q' was , absolutely , for you to know where "W" , "E" , "R" , "T" and "Y" were relative to that.
But pretty cool idea though ...

I didn't mean to come off as short.
This seems to be a mutually beneficial service. The users stand to gain as can be seen from the testimonials here http://www.google.org/powermeter/demoproject.html
So the users aren't giving away anything freely.
Google obviously gains , with hard data about consumer usage.

Why should they supply you anything for free?
