bulletmagnet | 13 years ago | on: Releasing my book "Hacking the Xbox" as a free PDF in honor of Aaron Swartz

Good for you. It's content that you wrote and you, as the author and copyright holder, made a decision to release it for free.

Well, on the bright side, she now has all the time in the world to spend on Reddit.

bulletmagnet | 13 years ago | on: Safari is released to the world

bulletmagnet | 13 years ago | on: Early Quora Design Notes

Do people outside the start up / technology world really use Quora? I've never seen anything there that's of value to "real people", and worse, Quora pages seldom (if ever) are returned when I search for something on Google (while other Q&A sites like StackExchange and others come up all the time). I personally find Quora confusing and the content in there more on the navelgazing side. Not sure I get it.

bulletmagnet | 13 years ago | on: What makes something "notable"?

I got a strong time cube vibe from that site.

bulletmagnet | 13 years ago | on: How turning down an acquisition feels like..

It's too early for him to tell "what it feels like".

ESR is an embarrasment.

bulletmagnet | 14 years ago | on: Bathroom fan timer switches

I'm pretty sure marco is trolling at this point. Reviewing lightbulbs? Bathroom fans? Wtf?

bulletmagnet | 14 years ago | on: Better to prevent mistakes than to fix them quickly

What a stupid sports analogy. A websites success isnt defined in a literal zero sum game with a limited time boundary.
