		greyman on June 21, 2008 \| parent \| context \| on: Yahoo! Auto-Resignation Tool Sorry but please can you stop this mindless Yahoo bashing? You can use Techcrunch for that if you are so inclined. Thank you.
		pxlpshr on June 21, 2008 \| parent \| context \| on: Never Before Seen Bill Gates Photos That was very enjoyable to watch. While I have little interest in Microsoft anymore, I have a lot of respect for Bill Gates and the road they paved.

		snowmaker on June 21, 2008 \| parent \| context \| on: Ask PG: Why redirect all HackerNews submitted PDFs... Guys, relax. PG has already told us he's taking the feature out ... should be gone in a few days. Incidentally, we never wanted iPaper to be implemented how it was on Hacker News. Our recommended implementation is always to give users a choice between iPaper and the original format. We asked PG to change it several times, but he was too busy creating the next 12 Googles, not that I blame him. JDF President, Scribd

		daniel-cussen on June 21, 2008 \| parent \| context \| on: Never Before Seen Bill Gates Photos I have to agree. Bill Gates is cool; Microsoft isn't. Both have good and bad deeds, but on the whole, the former has good karma, and the latter doesn't.

		DaniFong on June 21, 2008 \| parent \| context \| on: Yahoo! Auto-Resignation Tool There's a very different tone here. The articles used to be focused on building the future. Now it's moving increasingly towards shallow analysis of tech news. It's just less interesting. Nasty, sniping submissions like the OP are the next step. It's only a few more 'till lolcats.
