I run Techspace London ( http://techspace.co ). We have coworking spaces for tech startups near the Old Street roundabout. Contact me through the website - we can probably accommod…

I'll have a play around with swapping the vendor link / avatar ...thanks for all the ideas!

I'm trying to keep the homepage as free of clutter as possible but I do think this would add a bit of personality to the site (as opposed to the sterile, crowdsourced feel that you…

Thanks for the feedback - really helpful. I've been thinking about adding a poll feature (e.g. "Which of these dresses should I wear for a party tonight?"). Making that the main fo…

Thanks for the feedback. I will have a careful think about anonymous submissions (obviously spam is a big issue). Anonymous voting is definitely on the cards.

Clicky link: http://retailfans.com

I just launched RetailFans.com and would love to get some feedback from the HN community. The site is focused around fashion, clothes, beauty products etc. and works on a similar a…

IE7 doesn't allow bookmarklets to be dragged to the Links toolbar, presumably due to the security risk. Instead, right-click and Add to favorites...

Most of the startups that are making money are the ones you've never heard of. This is a pointless exercise...however, here are some that I believe are making money that you may ha…

This is a gross generalisation. Plenty of startups are making money.

Self-referential fail. No results for: kgb search engine Time will tell but how am I going to remember to take another look in six months time? :)

The page doesn't reload when ony the fragment part is changed.

I prototyped a Rails-like framework in JavaScript using Rhino and Servlets and was suprised how feasible the whole thing seemed for a production website. JavaScript is perfectly ca…

No offence but I'm not even going to read a scientific news story on The Sun :)

I bought mine new a while back (~$3000 AUD) from Apple. Just looking at eBay, they seem to go for a touch over $1000 USD at the moment. I figure they're a bit of a bargain at the m…

Second hand (or refurbished), last gen 15" Macbook Pro. I use one of these for development, no complaints.

How about redirecting the first URL to the second? Updating the fragment part via JavaScript shouldn't hit the server so that wouldn't be affected by the redirect. If you did get i…

I was more than happy to download the Silverlight plugin (I didn't have it installed). After an apparent successful install (latest OSX) and restarting Firefox, I'm told the plugin…

Just as a mind exercise, I spent a couple of hours learning to type with the Dvorak keyboard layout last night. After noticing my ZXCVQW shortcuts would be all over the place and n…

Music? It's a reasonable indicator of lifestyle choice (so good chance of bringing compatible people together), not male dominated and it could be multiple niches (adding up to som…

My first impression is that this doesn't do much that Firefox doesn't already do (ok, maybe Opera/Chrome style thumbnail quick start but I don't care too much for that anyway). The…

Go to a different host. Here are my two recommendations: http://linode.com http://slicehost.com Both start at $20 a month. I am a customer of both.

If your site's going down, it's probably already time. VPS's are pretty cheap. Alternatively, there may be some optimisations you can make to your code to reduce your concurrent My…

Is less choice a good thing?

I second the UI needing some user feedback. I was expecting a Google Suggest style dropdown and it took me a few seconds to realise I was filtering the results already in the page.…
