Wow, this is shocking. My buddy and I rode past the accident. The cops kept signaling to us to keep driving.

They posted this yesterday shortly after the crash, but at that point they did not have the bodies identified: http://www.nj.com/middlesex/index.ssf/2015/05/2_dead_in_nj_t...


I think it's more than that. Not too long ago, Facebook acquired Karma (http://getkarma.com), which had quickly become one of my favorite services because they made gift-giving into a fun and dead-simple process. In fact, it was addictive - I remember sending at least three gifts within the first two weeks of downloading Karma on my iPhone. And since Karma was already built on top of Facebook's social graph, the acquisition made perfect sense and enhanced the overall experience even more for its small but loyal users. I think introducing a gift card was the next logical step to bring it to the mainstream.


Looks like the account has been suspended. Here's some screenshots: http://gawker.com/5962371/the-israeli-vice-prime-minister-wa...


Where does it say it was Anonymous? (You didn't say that, but the parent did).


@YourAnonNews: "o_O So what would happen if a certain vice prime ministers email got released to the public? #OpIsrael #Anonymous"

Actually, it's already available in Moscow airports: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14514816


Interesting, that is dated from August of last year (1 year ago). In fact there are several articles from that time, here is another one: http://www.treehugger.com/sustainable-product-design/rent-a-... which has a bit more detail.

But there isn't anything since then. And to me its even stranger that their homepage they don't mention the installation. So my take on that was this was a 'demo' and not a real installation. Can you tell me if there are any being commercially operated ?


I don't understand — why are adjustable desks so expensive? I can't imagine someone not being able to produce a more affordable alternative to a GeekDesk. If it's in the $200-$350 range, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.


The comments UI is the deciding factor for me as well. So far, the best implementation of this I have come across is cheeaun's Hacker News mobile web app: http://cheeaun.github.com/hnmobile/landing/


Depeche Mode is the name of band from the 80s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depeche_Mode


I know, and mentioned the band in my post. But that’s not a pun, that’s just a reference. For it to be a good name, doesn’t depeche have to have something to do with Dropbox?


you are very much right :-)


How you snip the name from another 80's band and let the name... "Mmmmmmmmm... DROP!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnPQdrPnCpE :)


This kid is on fire.



Thank you


Something's "fishy" with this whole Dropbox vs. Google Drive thing: https://twitter.com/#!/SaadMalik/status/194838393874677760/p...
