Quite simply, I have Google Calendar set to send me e-mail notifications, and some of them are being outright bounced by Gmail, which then, ironically, has Google's Mailer-Daemon e…

Worth noting it's no longer available on Google Play. Not sure why.

If you are not talking about only tech project creations, then certainly many of the great books might fall under this category, especially those which birthed new mindsets as part…

To me, they absolutely shunned their core audience -- people who wanted greater flexibility and configurability than existing browsers could give them. As a power user who used to …

I think it might be of interest here just because it's a fascinating moment in UI suicide. They took a very functional, even ideal UI and cut out huge swaths of functionality purel…

Wi-fi enabled hot sauce. I did not know so much satire could be packed into four words. That's satire-rich semantics, right there. SatiricWeb3.

"It is durable due to its incorporation of pozzolanic ash, which prevents cracks from spreading." Third sentence in the Wikipedia article. Later: "The strength and longevity of Rom…

I don't know for sure this happened, but the adjective "properly" in "properly redacted" makes me wonder if they did black highlight, or drew black boxes over the text, instead of …

I'm worked for 20 years in legal admin. But during my life I've accumulated a lot of computer and Office expertise (Windows, Mac, bash, zsh, etc.), and usually can grok the ins and…
