I've been saying this all along.

on: Journalist goes undercover at Walmart
1. What does this have to do with "Hacker News".
2. I don't remember where but I read this article with the exact same picture over a year ago. Perhaps the author just updated an old article of his? I find it odd that it was just now posted to nypost.com so far after it was written.

on: Your ISP Hates You: AT&T and Comcast Confirm They're Working With RIAA
Well this whole thing started with the RIAA stating they are no longer actively searching for users illegal downloading music. So if they are no longer actively searching for them, where are these cease and desist orders originating from? The ISP's say they are not actively seeking the users dling music nor should they, they are just forwarding the notices. The original drama started when the RIAA basically told the ISPs its their job to find the users and notify them of their doings, of which is what the ISPs "hadn't responded to yet".
"Comcast adds via spokesperson that nothing's changed"
So did the RIAA lie and they are still actively seeking out and reporting to ISPs to report to the user or is this article misinformed?

"Twittering is just a way for bragging about your unexceptional life" that's exactly what I say haha. I love this and hate twitter with a passion.

on: Wundrbar (YC W08) launches new iPhone app
So basically behind the scenes they are really only doing a google search within the site?
Google search [www.bestbuy.com: karate kid DVD] will return the karate kid DVD and price from best buy. I don't understand why I should want to pay for this?

on: Startup Tips From the Father of Gmail and FriendFeed
I actually quite enjoyed that style of video interview. It broke it up for me and clearly separated each chunk of information, letting a few seconds for it to set in and moved on to the next question.

on: How The Twitter Community Took on Facebook's Zuckerberg - and Won
The article states "people were rushing to delete photos and incriminating messages". I find that very untrue and the article made the ordeal bigger then it actually was. Not to mention it wasn't just twitter but also people blogging and such. Things in the past such as the news feed had a 10x larger uproar then this did. (I know I'm going to get down ranked just because you disagree with me)

on: Darwinism Must Die So That Evolution May Live
I believe the author is referring more so to the people that tend to think that one person came up with, and wrote it since its attached to a persons name. It also makes for a good (read good in their heads) excuse why not to believe it. I know I have experienced that poor logic in conversation before.

on: When I invented the Web, I didn't have to ask anyone's permission (2006)
Not only have many ISPs responded with a no, that is also news from a few months ago. So why post/uprate an article that was written 6 years ago that is loosely tied to news from a few months ago?

I tried signing up and have Silverlight installed. But it just hung at the sign up stage wanting me to install siverlight even though I already had it installed. I even reinstalled it silverlight to no avail.
