How to boost your traffic with StumbleUpon

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 04/15/2008
Amazingly simplistic and basic "analysis" of StumbleUpon. Far better stuff out there...pretty much any major blog entry on StumbleUpon will be more use than this. (see comment)

Man Waterboarded by His Boss in 'Team Building' Stunt

Comment in News (-6 diggs, 1 reply) - on 04/15/2008
That's not really waterboarding. It's a gallon jug that's not going to take long to pour out, it doesn't invoke an immediate gag reflex as waterboarding does. Seems to be one of those generally sensationalised stories, this guy taking advantage of the emp … (see comment)

'The Grid' Could Soon Make the Internet Obsolete

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 04/11/2008
Completely misleading article, and a total misunderstanding of what the internet is. It's like suggesting that the telephone made the world obsolete because it provided much faster rates of data transfer. Effectively all they are doing is reporting the on … (see comment)

Digg and Digging-Social bookmarking

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 04/11/2008
Useful articles on some of the basics of developing a wider functionality for Digg. I admit it's not one of the social networking type sites I've been entirely sure of the best way to develop, and this was helpful. (see comment)

Firefox 3.0 Beta 5 faster on Mac OS X than Safari 3.1

Comment in News (13 diggs, 3 replies) - on 04/08/2008
I remain confused as to why this always becomes such a passionate issue. They are *web browsers*, so why are descriptions of them so often couched in terms of love and hate? I use Firefox because of its excellent add-ons, I use Safari because as a web dev … (see comment)

This is why I love my Mac :)

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 04/07/2008
No, but then the contrary argument to that is that you're looking at a the price premium for the Mac being based as much on style as hardware substance. (see comment)

Windows 7 to arrive next year, says Bill Gates

Comment in News (95 diggs, 2 replies) - on 04/05/2008
I think this is largely a non-story based on over-analysis of a comment. There's a huge difference between talking about development schedules and a significant change in policy regarding the long-term shipping date. (see comment)

Why women really should rule

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 03/26/2008
Somewhat typically Guardianista when commenting on Hillary (graciously allowing that not *all* her issues in the presidential bid stem from sexism and misogyny), but reasonably interesting all the same. (see comment)

Japan: URL's Are Totally Out!

Comment in News (0 diggs, 0 replies) - on 03/25/2008
Certainly something that would probably work far better with foreign language search terms given - as the article points out - the potential for abuse of such advertising in the English speaking world. Though to be fair, I'd also take issue with their cla … (see comment)

Are Your Kid s Internet Postings Landing You in Hot Water

Comment in News (32 diggs, 0 replies) - on 03/25/2008
If it's a genuine "child" or a family member who's using confidential information then sure, be concerned. Otheriwse, as wushin points out, we're talking about a 21 year old adult exercising his right to free speech - and as pointed out in the article, Wa … (see comment)

Schools reject 'Army Propaganda'.

Comment in News (0 diggs, 0 replies) - on 03/25/2008
Of course, the fact that the teachers themselves appear to have come up with their own 'propaganda' about the military is a fact left unmentioned. (see comment)

More proof Wal-Mart is Evil.

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 03/25/2008
But presumably they did realise, given that their lawyer identified the issue in the small print of the policy. So I'd imagine he pointed it out to them. (see comment)

More proof Wal-Mart is Evil.

Comment in News (15 diggs, 3 replies) - on 03/25/2008
I can't quite work out why the husband is petitioning the Supreme Court when even he admits that Wal-Mart are well within their legal rights. And look, no denying it's a really sad story, but the clause in the insurance was there and identified by their l … (see comment)

7 Uncommon Questions I'd Ask A Startup If I Were A Venture C

Comment in News (0 diggs, 0 replies) - on 03/24/2008
Rather than being a post that talks about venture capitalist questions and how a startup business might answer them, I think this is more thoughtful and raises some issues that startups should consider internally. (see comment)

Opera Are Behind The Times

Comment in News (0 diggs, 1 reply) - on 12/17/2007
Opera certainly matters in terms of wider web standards and their action in itself makes them important in this instance (plus it's a good quality piece of browsing software). Overall though, while the timing of the precedent establishment required the a … (see comment)
