Perhaps Wells Fargo should finish implementing their website first. They’re missing basic services like letting you make a wire transfer online. Our company is in the middle of switching banks because dealing with them is such a hassle.
While I agree with your hesitancy, Daniel, I submitted this post because I’d seen two (but I was wrong – there were probably three: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11845351) submissions on the front page in which Jacob has been accused of crimes (outside any legal system) and I believe letting readers get his side of the story is only fair at this point.

Randomly, I met one of the founders of Intellectual Ventures today. I wasn’t sure if I was resolving the name right and, unfortunately in retrospect, I didn’t ask, ”Oh, the massive patent troll?”

There are three things at the top of page that are brand new and people can try out (plus we sent almost 100 copies of the iOS app so far to people who signed up this morning):
“His limbs and head were stuffed in bags in the living room.
