    I love both React and Vue, but I feel the need to step in and defend Vue a little here. Of the 3 points you listed, Vue has a section in the official documentation dedicated to Ser…

    You're not reading that, you're implying it. It doesn't say anything at all about remote installs, and it's not even suggested.

    Been using this for the last few weeks to start/stop Sonos speakers by talking to Siri on my watch. "Hey Siri, turn off the kitchen speaker." It works really well.

    Interesting, I'm on the exact same version of Chrome on Yosemite and it's rendering fine. I wonder what the difference is? (unless they've just fixed it in the last 20 mins!)

    Long-press is a different thing, and something iOS has had from the day 1 (obvious example is rearranging home screen). 3D Touch is about how much force you use, not how long you t…

    I've got to say, this did trip me up too. I was trying to swipe the screen in the direction of the arrows, which it seems was the wrong way. It's beautiful, but that particular scr…

    You don't even need to add a contact. You can block any number on the iPhone by going into the Recents list in Phone and picking the 'Block this caller' option. I've got quite a lo…

    I just want to point out that they don't force you to use Facebook. I use Spotify without a Facebook account without any issues.

    I'm mostly surprised that this didn't count as an existing 'business relationship', which has always been enough in the UK to send marketing emails to someone. The guy registered w…

    Working alongside 2 or 3 other coworkers isn't really the same thing as an open-office though. At the moment I'm sitting in an office of approximately 30+ people. Working on my own…

    Yep, I did Maths A-level in the UK back in the 90s, and a TI graphing calculator was basically a requirement for the exams.

    I think you two must be using an older browser that doesn't support SVG properly. The green area contains an animated wireframe of an Xbox One.

    It often seems to get missed that it was Why the lucky stiff that first coined the phrase tumblelog, which is where the name Tumblr comes from. Even this article just refers to him…

    Last year I made the decision to switch to drinking only decaf tea after 3pm, and since then I've found that I have much less trouble getting to sleep. Purely anecdotal of course, …

    Spotify is the same. $9.99 in the US, and £9.99 (US $15.55) in the UK.

    I'm also in the UK. It was the Apple Store in Newcastle.

    Interesting. I've had the exact same problem, and yet what happened to me was the best customer service I've ever experienced. I had bought a 15" retina MBP at launch, but only not…

    This is one of the reasons I love services like Spotify and Netflix. They have no devices in the race, and tend to have client software for almost every platform. I can switch betw…

    How strange. Google even highlights the term MySpace in the results as if it was one of the search terms.

    Netflix's 720p streams use 2.3GB/hour, which would certainly put you over 5GB. I'm not sure about their lower quality streams though.

    Good news, but sadly it's yet another country in which Spotify is charging much less than they charge the UK. Apparently £9.99 = €9.99 = $9.99.

    Unfortunately it seems that GiffGaff won't be offering nano SIM cards for some time yet, so at the moment they are not an option for the iPhone 5. http://community.giffgaff.com/t5/…

    The user is scrolling one long page, not navigating between 'pages'. Having entries inserted into the history while scrolling seems very counter-intuitive to me.

    I've used the Airplay audio out a couple of times with a previous generation Airport Express and an AppleTV 2. It works well but does have very noticeable lag, making it useless fo…
