    Not exactly what you want, and limited to UK use, but I carry one of these around with me most of the time: https://www.themu.co.uk/ It's even smaller than I thought it would be, a…

    If Google want us to move from Reader to Google+, why are they not pushing it as a replacement? Do they think RSS users are a lost cause?

    I haven't tried many of the services on this list, but I would recommend Feedly. It can be a bit slow, and the fact that it requires a browser extension is a bit off-putting, but t…

    I think the layout has to look natural, because that one didn't work for me.

    I suppose the main thing you'd need is a data source mapping the stations and lines, then build it in whatever technology from that. The information page doesn't mention where the …

    This could actually have a very helpful application- generating maps with customised colour schemes. Anyone with a form of colour blindness will know that some of the lines on the …

    You can however disable pre-installed apps on newer Android (4+?) phones.

    So if Mozilla is involved, how does MDN factor into this? Are both expected to co-exist? Edit: addressed here https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/10/welcoming-the-new-kid-web-...

    This is pretty fun to play around with, if a bit difficult to navigate- I kept flying all over the place when trying to look at a particular episode in the initial view. Amazing wo…

    In fact, I'm pretty sure if you put an invalid font name in you get a default proportional font.

    Doesn't work for me either in Aurora (Firefox 16) or Chrome 21 beta (on Windows 7).

    No- in fact I'm sure the readme used to say "don't use this as a black box", instead use it as a starting point.

    This seems quite similar to SparkleShare: http://sparkleshare.org/ Edit: Oops, SparkleShare is mentioned on the page. Looks like this will work better with larger files. He does me…

    Interesting proposals, but like Andy Rutledge's NYT re-design ( http://andyrutledge.com/news-redux.php ) limited by the practicalities of implementing them. I don't think the Wikim…

    I got the impression that by doing "it" he meant searching Google for it, not actually doing it. I think most people realise that Google works by tracking what you search for, so i…

    A tag would suffice.

    I don't think so, it says your "Ads" cannot interfere, not your "Apps".

    I found it horribly slow from about 18 hours ago (3pm GMT) onwards. I think the last time I tried it was about 9pm GMT, and it was slow them. It took about 30-60 seconds to load a …

    It is different in that if they ever do a bad job, they get a lot more pressure put on them (occasionally from the government - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-1851299…

    Does anyone know what's new in Firefox 16 (that's currently the nightly releases) that makes it a requirement for this?

    Did they have a deadline to release though? Release then patch seems to be the way to do things now- the last (big) game I remember noticing being delayed was Halo 2. It seems that…
