I'd be satisfied with an 8-hour battery and a solar panel that can charge it with 4 hours of full sunlight.

You have a very low opinion of users, but you have a very high confidence in their knowledge of what is installed on their computers. Even the assumption that they intentionally in…

Well, you have to factor in changing out of your running clothes and showering if you're in a "professional" environment. Also I have bad knees that make even the mile I walked to …

I'm actually looking to start out like this myself, and I found a small, poorly organized nonprofit that has a less than stellar website. They're dying to make a change, but they d…

A cursory inspection of Posterous will show that it uses Google analytics. Google runs Blogger. It's a direct competitor, even though Tumblr has a much more similar feature set. So…

>and most glee clubs probably don't make videos either so it seems fairly moot. Half of them are carrying video recorders in their pockets. Sure, it's very low-fi stuff, but you're…

For every person who has gchat set to never document anything, there's another neurotic packrat like my brother who saves all of his chat history so he can go back and show people …

>That’s why your game is region-locked. Got friends in Europe? Too bad. You can’t play with them. Blizzard has international Starcraft tournaments to sell. You know, even with onli…

>Is one thing for a user to add a RSS feed, its another to pre-package it in a commercial app. The only thing they are pre-packaging is a link. Yes, it displays the content, but it…

Sourceforge itself is kind of an eyesore for all the projects hosted there, regardless of the design of their primary website.

Yes, it would be horrible if people could send messages longer than 140 characters via Twitter. The Internet as we know it would collapse.

It's a link. It's no different from being in the default set of bookmarks. If that's "pre-packaging," anyone who distributes a link to the NYTimes with paid software is guilty of t…

This really isn't that big of a shift from Skype et al. until it's available on 3G. And you know what? I haven't used a webcam in years. Not an extraordinarily useful piece of tech…

>Apple is moving the goalpost for UI performance seemingly faster than Google can keep up. You can't make statements like that until you have a Nexus One running Froyo side-by-side…

There is definitely something to be said for taking a bit of time to truly have a negligible effect on anything of importance.

That's really weird. I use firefox with NoScript for all my browsing, and if I need Flash or something I fire up Chrome. Of course, this is on desktop Ubuntu. On my Droid I guess I…

Do you care for a family on your own? I'm talking about a specific class of people - primarily unwed single mothers - who do not have time for themselves. Their time is eaten up by…

http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/09poverty.shtml Poverty level for a 4-person household (which a single mother with three children would be) is $22,050/year. 3-person is $18,310. 50 hou…

To call it gluttony is insulting to those who work 50+ hours a week, can barely get by, and yet are still overweight. Food is not a significant part of cost of living in the US, es…

That's fine for development, but it's simply untrue to show features in development and claim that they represent usable support for standards.

Theoretically you don't finish the relief well, so you can quickly finish it should the main one blow. The big risk though is that depending on how good your understanding of the g…

It doesn't work very well. There have been occasions where I've accidentally left the PandoraService running on my Droid overnight (not playing music mind you, but that doesn't sto…
