The size of this discussion and the sheer number of different ways this can be done is mind boggling. I'm all for having choices and I'm glad we're beyond choosing between FrontPag…

Maybe she means all that info was exposed in the court case? That's exactly the sort of "true but out of context" thing a tabloid like this site would use.

I feel like number of comments should carry more weight than upvotes. Then upvoted comments could weigh the entire story up further too, pushing quality discussion over a simple up…

What will replace phones that soon? Are you referring to smart watches and wearable tech? Wont we still use a phone as a primary device to tie it all together?

Cell/mobile phones are being used less and less as phones, and more as portable mini always-connected computers. There have been dozens of names thrown around in sci fi and similar…

I absolutely love exploring all the food and coffee around Melbourne and I can't even remember the last one that didn't take PayPass. Even the market stalls and coffee carts have a…

I haven't carried cash or wallet for about a year now. All I use is my phone (CommBank app, which uses PayPass network). Whether it's a coffee, snack for my kid, weekly shopping or…

Tech names have lost the plot. We really really need to get past this "Pick a really common English word and name your brand that, so it's impossible to search for and confuses peo…

It's nowhere near as good as Picasa or Lightroom for bulk editing, sharing, and general photo library management. But it absolutely destroys Picasa for the actual editing of raw fi…

We've used a Japanese multi cooker for years. Tiger brand. Does rice, steaming, slow cooked stews and soups, even cakes and yoghurt. I'm very surprised at everyone talking as thoug…

The last big Windows 10 update I did the other day completely reset me installation to stock. Wiped all my drivers including GPU, all my settings, reinstalled everything I'd tweake…

Discord has absolutely replaced AIM/MSN/ICQ/IRC for my friends. Everyone I care to chat to uses it, and has it on all their devices, including phone, as our primary messenger. My c…

There's that little tiny one called Android too.

I'd love an e-ink dashboard in my car so it's not so glary, e-ink tablet that does a bit more than a Kindle but isn't a full media player (super thin super light with basic browser…

17... cute. I wonder how many it is today.

I do too, and I've always wanted Winamp on Android. Just a full screen remake of the basic Winamp window. Wonder if this could be ported now with one of the JS->APK tools.
