Your DNS may be poisoned. I guess this is another positive argument for SSL cert pinning in browsers so you are less likely to accept the invalid cert

The guy doing this review was only able to get 3.5 - 4 hours out of the battery. http://www.nomobile.ru/reviews/162216.html Mediocre horizontal screen resolution for a 14" too

Under the same conditions, the SIII came out bottom of the outdoor test here: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/45801/which-smartphone-best-...

imapsync doesn't work perfectly with gmails imap server. There are multiple scripts out there just to work around as many edge cases as possible.

Will you post traffic stats and any other measurements you can come up with?

Does this use ElasticSearch?

I just had a look at it, going back from a page to the listings gives a full second of a lag/black screen while the Top article screen is being recreated. You truncate all the arti…

Building analytics from access logs is massively unreliable. I have a few domains that answer for http traffic but only serve "Welcome to nginx". When I tail the access logs I see …

Wonderful. I recently built a Facebook iFrame app and burned so many hours trying to make my app look vaguely inline with what a user expects a facebook. This is absolutely the per…

My poor Violin cost less than USD $100, you really ought to have got a very nice violin for USD $2500! If you still have it, it might be worth examining it and looking for a better…

I don't know why he needs $1000 either. I bought a cheap older unlocked WP7 device for under $250 just by keeping an eye out for bargains. Contact your local MS rep. I nearly every…

It's against Twitters TOS to provide a service that can present a users tweets as a downloadable dump. This new restriction was brought in earlier this year.

I got my Blade/San Francisco for £75. From time to time there are deals, Argos was selling them on discount, some online retailers were too, Orange had a weekend sale on them a few…

I have a variant of that Huawei phone charging in front of me. The battery life is appalling - It is charged twice a day. Luckily there are android mods that have multitouch integr…

I have that phone. I run an Android 2.3.4 mod for it. I now get several days worth of battery life, multitouch and a very smooth responsive UI. That phone has proven to be a very h…

How would they know the car was driven in loops for 10 miles in Lincoln unless the device was recording {the GPS coords, engine state, battery state}. This sounds like spyware. I'd…

I worry that bringing these type of colleges to the UK will directly reflect what has already failed in the USA. http://www.lrb.co.uk/v33/n11/howard-hotson/short-cuts

Nice easter egg when you tap alt 3 times.

As far as I can tell, there are no Open Source streaming servers that support (realtime) HTTP Live Streaming. I think this is a massive shame and I would LOVE to see one. So I thin…

Lissn.com reminds me of a far more polished "chatroulette for text" except I was able to talk to a lady in Japan for half an hour about the recent tragedy on Lissn, and I didn't ha…

This is a very interesting item as I believe the 4 out of the 5 user accounts that have commented on this (in the last 3 hours) are part of a voting ring. Fascinating to see it.

When writing my dissertation I burned a couple of days trying to get up to speed with LaTeX as it came so highly recommended by smart people I respect. However the tooling let me d…

Do not do this. I mirrored my Google Apps email account by setting up a rule to forward to my Microsoft-hosted Outlook.com account. It uses the same spam filtering system as Hotmai…

NaCl is disabled by default on the Cr48 development laptop. I would at least hope this means they start enabling NaCl by default in the ChromeOS source tree.
