"It looks like a Dyson vacuum cleaner someone lifted from the maintenance closet on the Death Star."


Shamelessly quoting myself: "The thing looks genuinely ugly with the outer casing off: like computer junk from the late '90s, with a touch of Jawa Quality Spares." http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Msp...

By the way, I just realised what it is that the base of the new Mac Pro was reminding me of: it's the old G4 iMac, of course http://macspeedzone.com/images/reviews/machines/desktop/imac... .


Quote: 'The source page will no longer load up in an iframe in the background of the image detail view.'

Protest is growing as the traffic to the source sites heavily decreases (see the comments section).


Vox, "the lightweight music app" from http://voxapp.didgeroo.com/


Shame it's currently broken in Mountain Lion.


Damn! Just installed ML, I was hoping to check it out :(


> Connecting UI elements to their IBOutlet is the most annoying thing I have ever done in an IDE. <

I would have chosen this on the top of the list!


Thanks for this funny read. The announcement sounds like they invented LBS last week.


Simply ask yourself:

What did you feel in the last time when you followed a link and the result was one of these filtered images?

Evolution will overcome this. We still drink water.


You miss a point: When you take an image in the way of preview and shot, your image is like you felt it should be (or not).

Paste it over by a click and this feeling is disassociated from your pic (or as the author states: not real).


And my point is that the preview of it never feels real, either.

Completely agree. "Weekend" projects don't come up when you wake up on Saturday morning and are ready for sale on Monday.

My comment was caused as I observe an increasing number of these "weekend" or "side-project" messages at HN. For me it looks like the authors are too cautious to stand for their project as something that took all their attention and that still may have mistakes.

What follows is an inflationary trend that most "Show HN" posts are declared as minute-jobs and we lose the open culture of a showroom, where the other mates take your work serious and try to positively criticise it. Not long, and we have sidecars only.

I think it is not important how long one needs for a project shown here. The message transported with the timeline is else "look I'm a genious" or "sorry, all the remaining bugs are from a lack of time".

I have to remark, that I don't think of any particular posts in the last time and I know that I may include projects in my generalization that don't deserve it. This hasn't been my intention. And my original confession to be a bad hacker is still valid!


The SiteMeter graph is irrelevant too as they didn't add the SiteMeter.js.
