Right on. The BBC article should link to this. Better that Google nabs unsecured data without intent that someone else with intent. Too much hype. What's worse than nabbing private…

Good of you to say, and it's good to hear things are going swimmingly since you removed it. The whole idea of accountability is in my opinion flawed when it comes to casual contrib…

Yep I like that thinking - no walls and distances on the internet. To take your example a step further, a google search and our boss sees what dance club we attended, sees photos o…

Hang on a second, what if the interviewee doesn't have a Facebook account? Or just lies and says they don't have one? Would the next question be "why not" or "show us your email in…

@zdw, I hope you're not suggesting that native iOS apps have better accessibility than Flash? That's not the case. Flash is way out in front of native apps for accessibility. Good …

I tend to agree. It can depend though on circumstances and personality types. I think we can adjust feedback methods depending on who is involved, how well we know each other, and …

Mobile web apps should work in more places than safari on the iPhone. Otherwise call it a "mobile safari app". I tried the app in mobile Firefox, no luck. I tried it mobile Opera, …

Nobody gets 200 emails per day all directly asking for something. If you do, as already said, that's a process and staffing issue, not email's fault. The good thing about the old s…

Nope. Email not broken for me. I like it how it is because filters and sensible organising of inboxes is not hard. Not interested in email streams at all. I'd prefer to keep stream…

So I bought the app and checked it out. I may be cynical, but I also buy apps, (and my right to be cynical). I made an image with the app just now: http://i44.tinypic.com/aua3ic.jp…

Agreed. But you're being too kind on Apple. This is the worst privacy breach from Apple in iPhone's history. No point blaming app programmers. The functionality for apps to acquire…

Analogy isn't needed at all. Address book uploaded without permission... enough said. To your second point, I agree, Apple should have a setting on the iPhone that denies ANYONE bu…

Are we sure the rewind list isn't decided by one staff member at Apple, who ticks a few boxes one morning at their cubicle? Somehow I knew the app wasn't going to be free after rea…

Front end Developers seem to disagree a lot. Some embrace the webkit prefix and sprinkle it all through their CSS. Others prefer not to resort to old fashioned site building techni…

LOL, gold! I would buy that one too. As for the actual posters for sale, if people actually do want these on their walls, just type it in notepad and hit print. I'd sooner opt for …

Someone should mention: this "cloud" is not actually a cloud, but relies on physical things to exist. At both ends, loads of electric current is needed. It relies on mining to brin…

This comment is longer than the article it responds to. A good new years resolution for the interwebs might be to Keep It Short, Stupid! The definition of "comment" also needs revi…

Looks like unsharp mask filter is automatically applied to 4s.. which is fine for happy snaps, but if DSLR cameras applied such sharpening automatically without the option to turn …

We all have different lifetimes I suppose. As a kid growing up, the Commodore 64 was more than a tinker-box that blinked a few lights. And later, the Amiga won hands down over the …

I mostly avoid Macs. I prefer PC. But I dig the iPhone despite the various lock-down restrictions. I moved on to an android phone, and for the most part liked the new freedoms the …

It's not easy getting a 747 rumble out of a laptop. You're lucky, the sound is usually tinny. But there's a difference between "stable" and the situation where the cpu does the gru…

As an HTML/JS developer I really appreciate these powerful features that HTML5 will never have, and wasn't designed to have. People who say "use HTML5 instead of Flash" obviously h…

So what? I've been Native App-free for months now. I encourage everyone to go without using native apps for a few weeks. Unchain yourselves from Apple's closed, flash-hating club.
