Interesting. Is that doing a direct comparison between Leeds and London? Also - if you don't mind me asking - why did you prefer your life in Leeds? I do really like it in Leeds, b…

I'm living in Leeds at the moment and I'm working as a technical marketer at a technology driven small business. We've had little difficulty finding quality developers. While wages…

I had something similar happen myself, albeit not as bad your experience. While doing a warm up set of deadlifts (I think it was 120kg x 5 - I was working up to 180kg x 5, iirc), I…

> 'The quality is also higher than pirated content because they have a fantastic encoding off of source material.' This couldn't be further from the truth. x264 .mkv encodes look s…

I did ring technical support to get the issues fixed last Thursday -- apparently a higher level technician will call me back within '10 working days'. Hmm. I'm not trapped by a 12 …

I wish I was having as good a time as you are. I was on o2 for 3-4 years before being transferred over to Sky last month. Since transferring, I've had nothing but problems. Online …

Good article. I've always wondered how many more calories are burned while sitting versus standing. I'm quite surprised by how much of a difference standing makes, to be honest. Un…

Oh, thank you, sir! Didn't expect to get a reply from the cofounder of Beeminder. I don't think it's possible for to fully explain how big of a difference Beeminder has made in my …

If they do misinterpret my data, I'll simply go elsewhere. If there isn't an alternative, I'll try to build my own. I haven't had to input my credit card details into Beeminder yet…

I really like the Seinfeld method. It works surprisingly well for me. I first came across it when I started using 750words.com, a journaling website. The website prominently displa…

"Oh and of course you can 'customize everything' and here you have 4 examples of the most ugly homescreens I have ever seen on a mobile phone." Agreed. I really don't like the look…

Fuck off? There's no need to be so rude. In the future, use ihackernews.com. It provides a mobile friendly link to stories using viewtext.org. The viewtext.org link for this story …

Google hasn't stated how many units they have sold, unfortunately. There was a post on XDA developers from a guy claiming to work at the US UPS shipping centers that stated that Go…

Ah, apologies. For some reason my brain isn't working too well tonight. I had it in my head that my contract was costing me £9.60 per month while it's actually costing me £12.90 pe…

Personally, I don't find the lack of LTE to be a problem at all. Three's DC-HSDPA network has been excellent with my Nexus 4. I've done a few speed tests and I regularly get betwee…

I love Hipmunks interface, but it usually fails at finding the cheapest available price. I've used flightfox.com, a crowd sourced flight finding service, a few times and I've been …

This has been known about for a long time; ugly sells. People are more likely to trust something that looks amateur since it feels more like a recommendation than an advert. Mr.Gre…

As someone who has spent $100,000 on advertising over the last few years, at least $10,000 of which was on the Plenty of Fish platform, you're very wrong. You only need about 1,000…

By all accounts, Foxconn factories seem to treat their workers significantly better than other Chinese factory owners. Several reports have shown this. The reason why the media cho…

Heh, yup. It's funny how the media neglects to mention how quickly wages have risen over the past few years WITHOUT any pressure being put on the companies by the media. These pay …

Foxconn have raised their wages significantly over the last decade and a half; This is hardly unexpected. This is how Foxconn's wages have looked since 2004 -- 2004: 380 RMB 2006: …
