Dropbox employees are custodians of that data. If they can’t protect it for whatever reason Dropbox is pretty clearly at fault. Their policy on how employees have to treat data is …

User account data. Not as bad. Still awful. Hacked is a perfectly valid term to use. Dropbox allowed their employees to have user data just lying around and their policy on how emp…

Because we haven’t put any resources into it. Everything was sucked up by that goddamn stupid human spaceflight. There could have been so many Cassinis, so many Spirits, so many Op…

Scrolling is buttery-smooth on most websites, less so as complexity ramps up. (Some particularly complex Facebook pages, for example, have minor stutters, i.e. dropped animation fr…

It has HDMI (as well as not one but two ports that can be used as VGA ports with a simple adapter, but that’s all very much besides the point) – and I’m not sure what you were expe…

The rMBP, widely hailed as the best Mac since forever? You seem to be the only person on the planet disappointed by it (besides people disappointed in the glued-in battery – but th…

Removing RSS functionality: A defensible decision, I think. Many excellent third-party RSS readers are available and this fits Apple’s overall theme of simplifying the OS: there ar…

What do you want to say with the last four paragraphs? That's value as in monetary value, i.e. about the costs of the calorimeter system described in the report, taking into accoun…

No, the subtitle said pretty clearly that Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. I think confusing that with the Internet has nothing to do with the UK boosting their role in…

Has it? For decades communication researchers had trouble finding big media effects. That said, the same seems to be true for social networks.

In Germany it’s €215.76 per year, so about $266. Similar, but I can’t help and feel that value for money is worse here. There is some real cool stuff the BBC does that just does no…

No, I don't. But it doesn't matter. As an organization you have to go where your users are. And they are on Twitter. This is something no single organization can solve. It's imposs…

No, you won't. You will be dramatically worse off. You have to go where your users are. And they are on Twitter, not your own hosted thing. Twitter will not make or break most orga…

It's not two sides, though. That makes no sense. The issues MRAs are campaigning for are not issues feminists are campaigning against.

Don’t you browse your music? I’m very particular about my music collection and I definitely need to browse it. Sometimes I just do not know what I want to listen to, so search is u…

Is it really so hard to see the real value a service like Facebook provides? I’m personally not a fan of Facebook (but found it to be tremendously useful for quite a few things in …

I don’t think this matters if it’s possible to plug in an Xbox controller. They are ubiquitous, cheap and competent.

All MRAs I’ve ever heard were downright weird in their worldview. There are some problems worth fighting for (nothing comparable with what women faced and still face), sure, but th…

The second point is technically accurate – but does it really count if it’s a delusional movement by a few crazies that is in no way comparable to to the women’s movement and mostl…

Here is the announcement from Bukkit's side: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/bukkit-the-next-chapter.624...

I think legal problems … I guess. Not sure. But it also seems like they want to do quite a few things differently, though I'm not sure whether that's good idea.

How much music do you have? 100 songs? I have 5,380 titles, I cannot for the life of me imagine how to deal with that inside the confines of the file system. I want to browse my mu…

I think the last time I used the filesystem to browse my music was in 2003. And it was dreadful. I use a music library app in which I can decide which way my music is ordered. Albu…
