I've been very affected by this myself. It happened the most while attempting to study research papers. A lot of times I would be unable to finish reading what I had planned, becau…

Sadly I have experienced this. I was in mourning after losing a relative and refused to participate in an overtly cheerful activity.Not only was I reprimanded for it, but later hea…

Very interesting point of view, I have never thought about it that way. I think you're right.

Finally a contest with more substantial prizes. I can't help feeling that lately virtually all companies have been launching contents to solve (very) difficult problems, but instea…

I like this and I think I'll actually start using it.

Overall interestingly done, although the small 'the' overlaid on the main 'New Republic' title irks me to no end. It really, really does not fit with the rest of its surroundings a…

Interesting, but ow my eyes, everything is so big.I'm on 1920x1080 and even so, I have trouble getting a global 'view' to properly navigate around. I like the fact that the tooltip…

Ugh, should've put a [pdf] warning in the title. Other than that, R can indeed be hot, but maybe just in the special 'flavor' Revolution Analytics developed, otherwise it's one of …

It's pretty sad, but not because I knew him in any capacity, or actually have heard of him until now. It's sad because he clearly had a psychiatric issue and only if people were mo…

This is very interesting, thank you for sharing.

Not exactly related to the post's contents, but I'm so excited I found out how this sort of this is called: topology optimization. I've been thinking about designing an 'object' un…

Agreed. Change the colors at least. Colors + the fact that he italicized the logo make it way too similar to PayPal's logo. Really not a good move.

Does anyone else just click-hold the browser scrollbar most of the time when visiting a site while deciding on what to click on next? I feel like I can't be the only one who does t…

Ahh, posts like this are like magnets for front-page HN. Mm, maybe I'm just a bit jealous. I should buy a boat. Or start a blog of my own.

Go with a Lenovo as someone else recommended, or get an Asus G46VW; sadly twice your budget, but it's of amazing quality.

Too difficult for me to pick just 3 but I'm up-voting so other people can see the post and jump on the shopping-spree wagon :)

Moniker. I've used them for years and haven't had any issues. Haven't really looked into it, but at least they give out the impression that security is really tight and that both y…

What an exaggerated titled. Does the pic show anything compromising/very intimate? It appears it does not. Then why all the fuss about it? This could've went swiftly under the rada…

Does this mean that Google is violating their terms by listing them in search results? I think someone from Google should maybe try to comply with this, I bet VS will be thrilled ;…

Thanks!

Like the idea, good marketing strategy too, but have a deep hatred for Lobster font :(

Excellent write-up btw; thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

This reminds me of the day one of my work 'colleagues' asked me what my star sign was and various other similar questions, indicating he was evaluating me as a potential mate. Disr…

I feel for you. Internet hugs!

Bad design most likely. Looking more carefully at the link in the initial email they sent you: 'confirm_migrate?'. This almost gives it away.
