What Hacker News says?

  1. On the Mac, Self Control every time! It'll block access to domains you define for a set period, e.g. news.ycombinator.com, email. http://visitsteve.com/made/selfcontrol/ http://gregdetre.blogspot.com/2009/10/self-control.html The only downside is that I can't seem to block reader.google.com without also blocking all of google.com...
