I also know the owner ( http://twitter.com/jmk ) - it's definitely real, and not an ad campaign :), though I do appreciate the skeptic instinct. He's been posting off/on to his per…

Wow. Reading the negativity in some of these comments makes me want to think twice about sharing something I've made with HN. That's a bad thing. It's not perfect. It's not the fir…

Try spamming somewhere else man - you won't get far here with that little effort.

They're doing a difficult thing by making an effort to share progress as it happens in a transparent way, and I think that deserves a lot of credit. They never said they would be t…

Really great job for a weekend project - visual design is very slick. Look forward to seeing it a bit more feature-complete. Would love to use something like this with my team.

I think the 'don't put anything you want kept private on the internet' is, generally, a good argument. I will say though, that I do think Facebook encouraged a reasonable expectati…

Yeah - all the relevant details are in there, and he's technically right about the CC# liability bit, but the last way you want to come off in a situation like this is "it's not al…

They've responded here: http://blippy.posterous.com/ Not as apologetic as one might expect.

I wouldn't want to be the guy holding onto this internet-connected GPS device with a backdoor just for Apple. Lock your door, man.

All these arguments would be valid if Apple was in the 'being a nice guy' business. But they're not.

This is honestly one of the most poorly-written 'articles' I've ever read: "The process of simplification of consumer goods in response to demand is what has delivered the enormous…

Congrats again, Sam! One thing that I'd love to see your guys' hands on is the notion of 'ownership' of FB photos -- this is something that was definitely in the DNA of Divvyshot, …
