StickyBits: Add a bar code based history to any physical object

The examples are a bit laughable.."Attach your resume to your business card" – You could just add a web link instead and everyone would understand instead of limiting yourself to a very specific subset of users that know what to do with the barcode. (Same with "attach photos of what you’re selling to a flyer")

Plus, is there any type of control on these barcodes? Can I claim a barcode and not allow anyone to add anything else? That would be quite important if you’re going to put it on a business card..

How I got my leg tied to the radiator because of Facebook

Got any examples of sites that do this right?

Why You Should Build a Web App

Seems like a problem with your browser, works just fine in safari.

Ask HN: What gaming console should I bye?

There aren’t really any "hardcore games" on the wii. Those that are are mostly single player and don’t take much advantage of the wii remote besides the pointer. You also won’t find many online games (which is broken anyway due to the friend code restrictions).Most casual/social games have simplified or too forgiving controls. They’re nice at first but you’ll grow tired of them soon. And unlike what you may believe, there isn’t that much quality casual games either (besides from nintendo). Heck, even the mario/sonic olympic games are waggle fests.

They then introduced wii motion plus, which is supposed to give you greater control. It does. But there’s hardly any games for it.

Anyway, there’s a rumor of a Wii HD console.. Nintendo has a conference somewhere at the end of february. Might stick it out if you want.

Xbox 360 or PS3 are pretty much even. Most games come out on both platforms. They both have some interesting tech coming out this year. (Natal and the ps3 wand).

Yeah, a simply max-width / min-width css declaration would work.

Better HN: Take HN discussions everywhere

I made a site with bookmarklet quite some time ago that does something similar to that.. http://www.convotrack.com (was made more for twitter though)

Ask HN (try 2): do you need angel funding?

I see you’ve made the spreadsheet uneditable. A wise choice! (Users that have seen the previous posting will agree)

Tom has a new crush. It's called the WattVision Energy Monitor.

In the typical case such a device is really only useful in the first month or two. After that all optimizations have been done. So I think that this monthly subscription model is a bit flawed in that regard. I’m probably wrong..

The ipad already has a big enough surface to allow you to type on the “virtual” keyboard with both hands, as can be seen in the conference video when Steve demoes it. Apple also has a “tactile feedback” patent that should make using such a keyboard much easier in future ipads:

Apple also has a second patent for amongst other things handwriting recognition: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/10/01/evidence_of_apples_tablet_like_input_interface_reappears.html

This would be ideal for the ipad. Too bad none of these technologies appeared in this version.

2 things bother me about this ipad:

1) It’s a closed system. This is both good & bad. But just because music software exists on mac os x doesn’t mean it will for the ipad. Someone will have to make that and sell it in the app store.

2) Expandability. This thing really needed an SD card / USB slot. This is a computer. It’s ok for a music player to have a fixed amount of space, but not for a computer.

I do think this should prove to be an interesting device for people that are not in to computers much. Older people might enjoy it due to the ease of use.

You’re giving up awfully quick.

As said, you could pick 5 people you trust, but still allow other people to send in the occasional blog post. The trick is that these blog posts from “unknown/guest” authors would have to be moderated somehow. The select 5 could probably do this..

I could probably even write a plugin that requires all 5 (or a majority) of them to approve the post before it’s posted online..

It’s interesting to see how many comments this post has received already. Versus most other guest posts having zero comments. (Or maybe people aren’t approving the comments?)

Regardless, I last heard of Ashley on the 13th of january, so I doubt there’s reason for worry.

Would you mind sharing the scripts? Would love to have something similar. :-)
