In GoDaddy's 180º press release:

"Fighting online piracy is of the utmost importance, which is why Go Daddy has been working to help craft revisions to this legislation"

"Go Daddy and its General Counsel, Christine Jones, have worked with federal lawmakers for months to help craft revisions to legislation first introduced some three years ago."

Are you kidding or is it true? You can get a lawsuit for this? (I don't live in the US)

New comment by cuchoperl in "How to find the right designer"

cuchoperl — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 18:51:52 +0000

Where can you go to look for a UX/UI designer that can help with the usability of your website? Dribble is ok to showcase a nice logo, a nice button etc, but fails for non-cosmetic driven design.

Ask HN: Is there a service to sell preconfigured domains inside my app?

cuchoperl — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 16:16:36 +0000

I want to allow my users to purchase a domain that comes preconfigured with its CNAME pointing to my server.

I'm sure I have seen one, don't remember its name.

Thanks

What good alternative Translation APIs are out there?

Also, its difficult to monetize the API, for example, with ads.

Ask HN: Domain registrar with API and no shady fees?

cuchoperl — Tue, 17 May 2011 13:23:00 +0000

I want to offer domain name registration for mini-sites inside my app.

Is there any registrar where I can programmatically register domains and assign DNS parameters on behalf of other people?

Hopefully this registrar will not have shady fees like $250 "restore fees" (eNom) or $120 "redemption fees" (name.com).

I like Facebook's approach to comments (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comme...).

Pros:

- Most people are already signed-on in Fb, no friction to start commenting.

- There is a hierarchy of posts, similar to HN, reddit, etc

- Not anonymous.

Cons:

- Who owns the data? Probably Facebook.

Ask HN: What do you think about Plug and Play Tech Center?

cuchoperl — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 13:53:33 +0000

The Chilean government has launched a contest to send 10 startups for 3 months to Plug and Play.

What do you think about P&P?

Many thanks for sharing your experience :)

About where to place the illustrations: That's a great challenge for us. We are trying to get as much feedback as possible from kids, dads, professional storytellers, psychologists, writers, professors etc, to learn where's the best spot to place the illustration. There's no consensus, but we hope to have a formed opinion soon.

About the layouts: iBooks renders EPUBs in a funny way. We have improved many times the way illustrations are formatted each time updating our books in the iBookstore. We are in the process of updating once again our styling template, using new CSS3 properties supported by iBooks. We are learning along the way and improving our books a lot! (If you send me an email to victor at pictorical com I will send you an updated version of Rapunzel when we have it ready.)

Thanks for buying the book, supporting Paola and giving us feedback. Please do a "like" to Paola (the Chilean artist who draw Rapunzel) to send her thanks.
