Can we please try for less inflammatory titles? Protocol on here seems to be to copy the title from the source.
"rel='shortlink' - URL shortening that doesn't hurt the internet"

This is already done on some sites using rel="canonical" and rev="canonical". please don't create a competing standard. A site as large as Flickr already uses this standard. Check the page at http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrickmatte/3828709208/

  It contains both:
  - <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrickmatte/3828709208/ />
  - <link rev="canonical" type="text/html" href="http://flic.kr/p/6Qk8RJ >

  Each one has a specific purpose. You can read more at:

"Chinese clone of StackOverflow. Uses even the same design, built using django."

I saw someone complaining about this the other day. Not sure if your intentions are the same...

StackOverflow is CC-SA 2.5 licensed. The "derivative" site is also CC-SA 2.5 licensed. They both have clearly different audiences. I don't see a problem.

By driving more eyeballs to the web and away from desktop apps.
"Ask HN: Prgmr is unreliable. Please advise on VPS hosting."

I've had a great experience with prgmr.com, even when asking them possibly-stupid questions about my configuration. If you can get to one domain but not others on a VPS account, it's likely not the VPS provider's fault...

No RSS feed? :/
"A Verizon reality check"

1. My HTC Incredible has 1 Verizon logo on the front, under the earpiece and it's tiny. 2. There are no Verizon icons I can't delete. There is a separate Verizon app store in the Android market, though. 3. Google Maps offers great turn-by-turn on my phone. Free. 4. MP3 stores are available on Android.

"Chrome OS: But Will it Run Photoshop?"

1. How many netbook users run Photoshop on their netbook? I'd bet that it's an insignificant number.

2. Aviary (http://aviary.com/home) will likely run fine on it. :p

"Ask HN: Did you ever do anything unethical to get your startup off the ground?"

I wouldn't call anything he did unethical, but check out this interview with Gabriel Weinberg (DuckDuckGo guy) about his previous startup: http://mixergy.com/gabriel-weinberg-duck-duck-go-interview/

With all of the respect I already had for him, his candor in this interview gave me even more respect for him.

No, not really. I doubt there will be ads in Docs & Spreadsheets. But there ARE and WILL BE ads in Gmail* and Google search results. The main idea is to keep you in Google's ecosystem and to make advertising on the web more valuable.

Selling advertisings isn't about creating new places to put ads--it's about making advertising space more valuable. And that isn't as straightforward as you seem to think. :)

* And adsense ads in apps that others create.
