    The thing that always annoyed me about Aereo is how they restrict who can "rent an antenna". If they are to stick to their legal argument that they're just renting an antenna, then…

    I've been using my Chromecast to play local content since day one. Then again, I have a whitelisted application that I'm using and I'm not distributing it. There is nothing really …

    I'd be curious to test something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/CLJYC/ "Do you have a gift card or promotional code?" Y/N, and then only show the field if yes is selected.

    I like Android intents and all, but I think Facebook is misguided if their plan is to release a new version of Home every month. The intent preference is only remembered for the sa…

    No way to fix it? Not that they should, but Facebook could just stop redirecting www.facebook.com/profile.php to www.facebook.com/ By making that change (and having no other way to…
