    Trending Tech News: Feedback please

    I've been working on this site for a few months, now, and it has gone through many iterations to get where it is. I'm not a designer, at all. My pride in the site is in its algorit…

    Well maybe you're right. Since the author openly offered his contact information, maybe the best way to resolve the situation is to discuss the matter with him directly and private…

    I understand that it is frustrating to you to feel that someone may have been inspired by some aspects of your project. However, I think it's important to consider a few things for…

    People don't comprehend how insecure the Internet is. They take for granted that their information will remain private unless they explicitly wish to share it publicly. This may be…

    But, for the love of god, think of the children!

    Interestingly, it's a popular viewpoint in the deaf community (at least here in the USA) that deafness is not a handicap at all and, in the opinion of a minority, is in fact an adv…

    Aside from the obvious reasons, this is also great because it allows the deaf to work in a deaf-friendly work environment; everyone or most there probably sign. Much of a deaf pers…

    Thanks for this! Just installed on my Droid.

    I think the most conspicuous spin on the site is repeatedly calling the browser "the most important piece of software on your computer." Google has made it very clear that they int…

    Um, why wouldn't they want to track traffic to their own website? I don't think my mom will be looking at the variables in the query string. As for the actual information on the si…

    Fixed, thanks for pointing that out. And as "the guy who built Digg.com for $10/hr", that's all the feedback you'll give me?!
