As a VIM user, these things irritated me:

1) I cannot delete the end of a line with this thing. Is that normal? Im only used to VIM so this might be a VI thing.

2) CLTR+ does not scale up the font size

You can filter that with another grep for example:

  wget -O- news.ycombinator.com | grep -o 'title"><a href="[^"]*' | grep -o http.*

If you use Linux or some other Unix, you can also do it with standard Unix tools:

  wget -O- news.ycombinator.com | grep -o http[^\"]*
Personally, I prefer curl because it writes to stdout per default:
  curl news.ycombinator.com | grep -o http[^\"]*
(After posting this, i noticed that HN cuts * signs at the end of a message. So I have to add this text here, or the last * would not be displayed.)

I like the Macbook Air except for the glare type display. And im not sure how well it supports linux.

Currently i think about buying one of the sony vgn-z notebooks. Any expriences with these?

Wouldnt these two solutions be even nicer?

* Backup the Binlog of the DB (At least its called Binlog in MySql)

or

* Make a diff of the uncompressed dump and zip that. This diff would even be human readable.

In my daily browsing, I often see Designs that are not on that list.

For example Hacker News is a very standard interface to me. I would call it "Forum".

"Search" looks like it has multiple columns, but in my daily experience the main characteristic of "search" is that it only has a single column of results. (Google, Amazon, Yeahit...)

Another standard Layout, I would call "Portal". Yahoo is an example. Most pages are more or less "Portal" these days. (Another name for "Portal" is "utter mess".)
