Its not responsive in it current definition. The site is just fluid (based on percentages), the reason some elements seem to realign/behave like responsive design, is because those elements have fixed widths.

History lesson: Fluid widths were quite common until around 2005, as there weren't a large number of resolutions to cater to. Around the start of 2006 designers started switching to 800-960px to have the webpages look the same or nearly the same on every page.

How did a wall of text get to the first page? Some ones managed to create a HN bot.

Brutal site "design"

I completely agree, there app is a fad.

> there app is a fad.

My post really has nothing to do with Snapchat specifically. Snapchat could just as easily be Instagram -- which also had no revenue when it was acquired by Facebook for $1 billion.

The current model is "build your house next to a billionaire's house so they'll acquire you to stop any potential encroachment."

This is one of the best descriptions I've read of the concept.

Inspired by Real Life Events™.

Yeah I just believe that you can only go so far with an app that is used to send funny pictures to your friends, the fun will eventually die. It just seems to be the same Ron Conway and group going money going round in a circle with a lot of these companies.

How much revenue does it have now?

don't know.. they haven't released the numbers AFAIK.

But it's not really relevant IMO... Is there another industry that will pay out $1 billion for a company with no revenue (and no patents)?

I'm not sure this series could be redundant as it's free and Michael's videos cost money. Michael's website also looks like one of those classic 2001 sales pitch/squeeze page which makes me doubt the quality of the tutorials.

The web version of hartl's is free. Don't prejudge the content based on the site design, it's as stellar resource.

Ah ok, the website I found didn't have any information for the free resource. I don't normally but it's just those squeeze page designs are shit.

Nice man I like the idea, its loading a bit slow for me just now but I recon that's cause its reached front page.

I'm working on something using IMDB information as well right now, hope you done mind If I share it. It's getting an overhaul right now and more features are being implemented as we speak.

My wife and I constantly have this problem. Glad someone's trying to solve it. I wasn't able to make use of the site on my mobile device though.

Yeah I'm sorry about that once the main website is finished a mobile app will be getting build. Sorry :(

Trying to give out this type of help is counter productive, visiting a website could get you infected. Antiviruses won't tell you when you have been infected with a zero-day but they will help you out later. It's best to have or to run files in a sandbox before you use them on a production system.

Distance between the exchanges is a factor, I believe there is a minimum distances each company can be between the exchanges. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq1Ln1UCoEU This video at 23:27 talks about minimum 1000ft cable.

People on here are talking about attachments and being smart enough not to fall for sham downloads, but this isn't how most of ransomeware is spread to its victims. They use exploit packs and 0 days. Visiting a website that's been hijacked with an Iframe or a proxy that embeds an Iframe or any other data to the HTML that is returned could get you infected. There is no full proof way around this unfortunately.
