Chinese internet is like the rest of internet. Chinese people don't care about censorship of external sites, because they don't care about them, the same way you don't care about y…

Well, his account was probably sold in china, it's common (at least it still was a few months ago) on taobao (the chinese ebay), they sell you "gift cards" to be used within 12h af…

1. do all of this 2. realize that point 15. is by far the most difficult and time consuming of all steps 3. ... 4. no profit

too bad there's not so much said about optimizing latency, serving a lot of traffic is not that difficult, but getting the best latency to serve your files 50ms faster can make a b…

I guess this http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VBox_vs_Others makes it clear

To me the former is not being fluent, it's just knowing basics, the later is being fluent. But then there's being bilingual which is a completely different level, much more difficu…

And it would have been fair. I completely agree with the article, but I was quite surprised by the subject after the link I clicked.

They're so far behind because they're dedicated to release only when they think it's bug-free enough (for all packages, including all dependencies), which can be long after they fr…

marketing, marketing, and marketing. I use dropbox forever, was in the closed beta, and at that time I was using win. And until today I never heard about syncplicity, even though I…

With most of dedicated server providers now, you can get any server with a 1 month contract, no strings attached, for a fraction of the price of an equivalent ec2 instance, and goo…

They're being cautious I guess. I've been using it for a few months now, with test-releases, having it open 24/7, always with a lot of tabs, and it's pretty stable (maybe 3 or 4 cr…

Downtime is ok, shit happens. to everyone. But availability issues which are going on for 6 weeks now (still major IMO), is it? I can't think of any technical problem that would ta…

here's a bug open at chrome : http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=69777 but the issue is at twitter really. I noticed it a few days ago too, and chrome didn't update…

And Black Swan was a masterpiece too, way better than The Social Network IMO. IMDB seems to agree that Inception > Black Swan > TSN which makes me wonder who are the judges of gold…

It's bullshit because the biggest part in the price of a paper book is for printing and distribution. and VAT too in some countries, 20% instead of 5%, but it's going to change. So…

I don't know about Heathrow-5 but I can tell about Beijing-3, and I think everyone telling it's a great airport has no clue. The flows are terrible, you often board at the farthest…

can't agree more with this, even in high-end places, service is awful. But I don't think tipping has anything to do with it.

Most of the apps I use are not there too, we'll have to wait a bit I guess. What about Chrome and Firefox. are they forbidden and they didn't bother submitting ?

App Store app is just a different interface to the itunes servers, you can try to copy links in App Store and you'll see the exact same kind of url as for tunes, movies, iOS apps, …

even faster summary: install yslow and PageSpeed, follow recommendations. I've seen enormous improvements on site which didn't follow any of this rules, something like load time di…

giving more to employees in India will just help the growing gap between rich and poor, which is a big problem in these countries.

I think it's wrong to assume flickr represents the camera market. Not everyone care about putting their pictures online, those who care get an iphone/android/whatever. So of course…

well, I tried that, and every variations of browsers, google accounts and proxies I could think of, and redirect loop is all I got.

Am I the only one to get "This webpage has a redirect loop." ? even after logging out from google accounts
