You can download ie9 preview here: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/


The 'platform preview' is not a real beta. It doesn't have any components of the new UI, just a frame that renders a page with the new IE.


My mistake. It's here: http://www.beautyoftheweb.com


I've never read a book that made programming as simple as "Absolute Beginner's Guide to C".

Although this may not be down your alley, it's perfect for anyone new to programming in general.


I designed a game called Rejection Therapy back in 2009 to encourage myself to get out of my comfort zone more. It was amazingly effective and enlightening (for as long as I did it).

If anyone wants to try it, it's here: http://rejectiontherapy.com

It's not finished, it's very stripped down, but it works.


A tough game to bear, although the more you succeed in the game (i.e. get rejected) the easier it probably gets to continue to do so. Hopefully this doesn't become a self-fulfilling prophecy when you actually intend to not get rejected at some point, although I suppose you can even it out be getting rejected at something else within that 24-hour period.


Stunningly elegant concept. I wish I'd thought of it. Trying it now.


Your comment made my day pm. Thank you.


No problem.

It works too, which is even better (though I failed to get a rejection yesterday). Once I've thoroughly tested it, I'm going to introduce it to my employees.


SEOcockpit: http://seocockpit.com is also good. They start at $10 /mnth. I've no affiliation with them whatsoever, but I've used the service.

Instead of writing a lengthy comment on HN, I wrote a blog post: 9 Ways SEO Can "Best" Google Instant: http://goo.gl/ez2a

It's a spicy title I'll admit, and guaranteed to raise the ire of some HN folk, but that was not my intension.


I basically wrote this ebook with HN readers in mind. I'd like any input on the idea, the landing page and clarity of the message.



Just bought this on your recommendation, what do you think of it?


Thank you. I wrote and published the book Zero to Superhero after four years of research and self-experimentation (I thought my profile bio was disclosure enough. I guess not).

If you're not completely happy with the purchase of the book, let me know and I'll refund your money immediately.


I suppose that you know your own conversion rates well enough, but I personally am not going to click a PayPal 'buy now' button just to find out how much the book costs. In fact, not listing the price screams of scam to me.


I'm confused. The e-book costs $10, and it's prominently stated. Are you referring to something else on the site? Let me know and I'll fix it.


I couldn't find it either. I even did a "find" for "10", "ten", "dollars", and "$". Nothing showed up (other than the amazon ad).

The only way I was able to find a price was clicking the "Pay Now" button, which is what the original commenter complained about.


I just visited the site and scanned it 3 times, couldn't find the price. I'm sure it's there somewhere if you say it is, but I couldn't easily find it. Just a heads up


Thanks guys. The site is old and needs a complete overhaul.


Full disclosure: I wrote Zero to Superhero.


BTW, the topics I'm comfortable chatting about include entrepreneurship, SEO, copywriting, marketing strategy, independent publishing and health and fitness (I include personal productivity, lifehacks and accelerated learning in the health and fitness category).


What can kill Facebook? Burnout. And it will eventually happen.


I believe it.
