Though big subreddits are too big for their own good, it has its unique value. It's serves as a battleground for people with agendas and a bellwether to what topics are hot right now in. The big subs as a collective are similar to what Digg was, but on a larger scale. It's more about influencing people than engaging them. I remember when almost 90% of Digg's frontage was submitted by MrBabyMan and there were complaints about that. The one-man show is impossible now on reddit, but groups with the similar agendas where it's at now on reddit.
You will see that you are logged in as yourself if you access any wordpress.com website, your session is shared with all blogs. It allows you to post comments as yourself without captcha for example.
Historically wordpress controls the entire platform. It notably doesn't allow users to post raw HTML or any javascript, or load any wordpress plugins. There is only a basic text editor to write blog articles. As a customer you wouldn't be able to intercept cookies because you don't have any control on your site (you can't even load javascript for google or amazon ads which is super annoying).
They've added some plugin support in the past year and few other things, so this might have opened some unnoticed loopholes. Notwithstanding any novelty, wordpress is locked really tight and designed with this in mind, it's safe.
I've tried a lot of note-taking apps, I've settled on Simplenote. It's lightweight, syncs, and searchable. It's text-only. I find linking media and other stuff is just cumbersome, and takes a lot of effort to organize when all I want is a quick way to jot down notes.

I preferred InkDrop on my laptop, but I had to switch back to SimpleNote because SimpleNote does both sync and mobile extremely well. Doing mobile well just requires it to never take time to load. InkDrop would usually have to refresh its contents when switching to it.
There's no "right move" in this situation. If they delayed the recall and it was proved the battery was the culprit, then then there will be reports that the company knew it was the battery weeks earlier and didn't do anything about it. They had a tough choice to make, and they took the option that puts the consumers' well-being first, and that is the right choice in my opinion. It might be the right choice financially, but not everything is about money.
Suicidal thoughts as a disease may not only be solely genetic, but may have something to do with lifestyle/environment, like other diseases. I wonder how many starving Africans actually have this disease.
I still use FF, but switch to Chrome for JS heavy stuff. Even amazon.com is laggy on FF. The things that's stopping me from switching to Chrome full-time is the Extensions that FF has. I can really customize things to work exactly the way I want. My biggest gripe about Chrome is that the download bar at the bottom doesn't go away when you finish a download.
The first thing that came to mind was another good name would be "Maid in New York". But "Get Maid" is good too. Plus you don't have to change the name when you expand. Or maybe change it to "Maid in USA".
The way I see it, what went wrong with Digg was the amount of influence "superstar" users had on the stories that make the front page. The fact that they kept and displayed the "ranking" of users just shows how this culture of superstardom is ingrained within Digg mechanics itself. It may not have effected the traffic or growth at the time, but it did affect the quality of stories highlighted. Digg knew its system was being gamed and I think that is what pushed them to make the changes they did on v4 (apart from the money), where publishers were given priority over individually submitted stories.
