Maybe you should've made a 250,000 polygon WebGL Santa that waves and wishes us all a merry Christmas, with a Customize button that allows you to add a custom greeting, which is converted to audio via some speech synth engine, for $0.99, and submitted it as your startup. Also available for iPhone and Android. Coming soon for Blackberry. You're going to disrupt the holiday market. You'll be able to make a $46,000,000…

I think people would really buy something along that line. I mean if they can buy a application to make fart noises[1], they why not this? [1] http://ifartmobile.com/

You can have that one free. Go find yourself a contractor on Elance for a couple hundred dollars, and in a few days, you too can be on the road to infinite wealth.

Merry Christmas guys. Peace, health, and prosperity for you and your families today and always.

Where is the Christmas Bingo Card Creator?

Did a quick Google search and came across a site that features some Christmas Bingo Cards.

Is it really so bad to let our guard down for a few minutes to celebrate the holidays and the things we're thankful for? Your office is supposed to be (in most cases) a professional environment for conducting business, but everyone has a holiday party each year... Just sayin.

Then why don't we take our guard down when someone posts a little sarcasm or a small joke. Why do these posts always have a -4 or less karma? Why don't we have a separate section for lolcatz pics? In an office we have all that, nobody is totally professional with their first hand colleagues.

Nice 'troll' rick but most don't get it.

Yeah but if it doesn't use Node.js and Clojure and NoSQL it will fail.

The original was all Flash intro.

I don't want to pick on anyone (nothing personal maguay) but does this belong here? I mean this is supposed to be a high quality news site and not a place to post touchy feely comments. We frown upon too political comments/posts and try to avoid flame wars over silly things. So in that sense, this post is not supposed to be here.

We're not really celebrating "the holidays," though. We're celebrating one holiday. Technically we could have one of these posts for every religious holiday during the year (meaning we'd have at least one post every day). It's pretty inarguable that this post represents a really high signal-to-noise ratio or makes a difference in any way. Why should we make an exception for this post?
