No, I completely agree with *you*—like I said above, "Facebook has the audience no one else does." That's a big tradeoff. Read more

And as one reader points out, this doesn't look promising.

Some interesting things to note: Read more

I'd looked at that image a lot in the course of editing this post, but just now took the time to notice the conspicuous C-3PO head on the desk to the right. Wonder what other easter eggs you can find...

In theory this is possible—you'd basically go through a Hackintosh install on a portable drive. The catch is that you'd still run into potential hardware limitations, since Hackintosh'ed OS X won't support all hardware. Read more

Great point! Read more

I was thinking the same thing. Most newer phones won't have the same interference. It's a cool trick for older phones, though. Read more

Google Docs is a pretty simple option, no? Read more

So, who's got a great FU money story? Read more

I don't know for sure, but the problem might be caused by the asynchronous loading of the discussion thread. Often a Chrome extension will work on a page by running JavaScript when the page finishes loading. So, for example, if we had a give in the post itself, the JavaScript that executes when the page loads would… Read more

I know a ton of people who've gone to Sparrow or Postbox full time, and in theory I really like them (I'm especially into Sparrow—it's been a godsend on the iPhone), but as a pretty die-hard Gmail user, I haven't been able to make the transition to desktop email. Read more

Thanks for the constructive feedback. I agree with a lot of what you're saying, and while I can't offer specific details (partially because I can't be certain of what will be implemented and when), I can tell you that our tech team has been considering several different ways of solving most of the problems you raise.… Read more

It's a bizarre piece of hardware no matter how you slice it. In every way that matters to almost any end user, it's a subset of Google TV that costs $200 more. The AirPlay-like feature that's outside of Google TV's feature set *should* be a part of Google TV, and essentially you're left with a $100 device that has a… Read more

We've got some ideas for how we can address that. In the meantime... maybe I need to put together a shortcut-centric Chrome extension... Read more

The headphone splitter is a permanent staple of my laptop bag. It's made many a plane flight considerably better, and it's only a couple bucks. Read more

In time even this will improve, but you should see notifications at the top of the page or at your dedicated inbox.

I understand that you're coming at this from a place of love (and trust me, I appreciate that). My request is that you give the whole thing a little time. We've got plans to continually work to make Kinja better and better, and I'm hopeful that in time we might land in a sweet spot that can satisfy both needs. Read more

On the flip side, your comment was approved by default. Part of the benefit of Kinja is that moderation is a function of the system, so people like you who in the past likely had contributed worthwhile posts will be approved instantly. Read more

I would not. In fact, our past system included a convoluted moderation system that buried countless unapproved users simply because we couldn't manage all that moderation. It wasn't that the commenters were bad; it was that we couldn't vet and approve every comment. Now all commenters are approved by default, and you… Read more

Good question. While the new platform rolls out, your old comments have been archived. Eventually, your entire commenting history will be returned. Read more
