I configured Reddit as a "Lense" (similar to what Kagi uses for things like searching across Forums, or news). With that, now I have a simple toggle at the top of Kagi which allows me to immediately turn a search into a Reddit search.

That's kinda true, but we can request to get our copyright back on a per-project basis.
Re:Air Fares 101 – Why do fares change all the time? on Monday December 15, 2014 @12:39PM (#8753161)
I experienced this just the other day. My father was looking at a price in his computer that I couldn't get (I was getting one that was $500 extra). I erased the cookies of the AA site, refreshed (exactly the same flights, the same days, everything the same) and bam! $500 dollars cheaper.
I met the creator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludvig_Strigeus) the other day, and he LOVES to micro-optimize. He's a genius, and made a vere light uTorrent (it was supposed to be a really light bittorrent client) and then he sold it to bittorrent and stopped developing it (and that's why it stopped being lightweight).

Awesome and interesting guy.

Does it look fine in a Kindle with E-ink?

What I don't like about it is that it always returns the same image (not a random one) for a given size.

Well, Rotten Tomatoes offers an API, and IMDB offers all their data for download in text files.
The thing is, I have a $200 phone that has Android but isn't very powerfull. I don't own a tablet, buying one would cost me $200.

For $100 they are offering me a console that I could also use as a TV media center.

I think you are narrowing your view to people that own multiple gadgets, in my country that isn't the norm and I know that a cheap console could have a huge impact here.

You don't need to guess it, if it's implemented the correct way, the signup and the login process will have the same rules and you won't notice.
But the processing power needed to run it will be less.
