    Poor business model: I refer to their freemium offering which is poor compared to competitors. Security: If you think that's a judgement call, fine, if you think that the dropbox h…

    That's a good question/point and suggests a lack of education of its users of alternatives which are cheaper/better/more reliable.

    I'm struggling to understand why. It has a very poor business model, security issues and the storage for the price just doesn't add up. Google Drive or iCloud are far easier to set…

    Psychic mode is/was amazing. I used to love freaking people out when I saw the 'You feel a disturbance in the force...' message and quickly type 'Hi!'.

    I can't imagine any sane person actually blames him for his work and not the company that decides to put one developer in charge of writing such an important game in such a short s…

    It only lasts for a few seconds? What happens afterwards?

    As an FYI, the Chromium bug has now been unrestricted for public viewing - https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=437642

    An impressive demo, but I'd like to see this being done with photos of varying quality and see how the performance fairs. I've got a Chrome extension that I could probably use this…

    This is not new information though. Every page on the QuicksBlog contains the sponsorship information at the bottom of the page.

    I think it's probably from Greek mythology. Ponos was the God of hard labour - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponos
