Blinded by the white. Inconsistency of design between child sites.

> What were they thinking? Facebook has designed a feature which makes me hate my friends. That's funny. It's a little like chalk and cheese. I had a friend on Facebook who posted …

I have privacy concerns about Facebook, and resent the fact that it's such a silo, but in the main in succeeds where other technologies have failed. It's useful for finding people …

It's well f king futile.

That's true. An old net book or second hand laptop could be re-purposed as a NAS. I've found though that getting smooth HD out of older hardware, isn't that good. And the desktop O…

The difference between an Xbox say and a NAS is one of power. Low power set top boxes are a must. The amount of electronics piling up in people's houses is just ridiculous. The con…

Try right clicking (or menu key), copy the url, open new tab (CTRL+T), go to location bar (CTRL + L), and paste (CTRL + V). It's the Javascript I think that hijacks the click.

I can't stand timeline. I find it really difficult to read them for some reason - probably something to do with having more than one column - and poor alignment - it's cognitively …

Who has land rights to a brand new volcanic island?

None of us should be land owners. Stewards maybe. Unless there's enough to go round.

Hottie shows manufactured burger.

I use a couple of belts, that I can adjust to exactly the right length - to get a good height. The laptop sits in that like a dream and makes for a good laptop desk. With a desktop…

I appreciate the portability part of the article. For me an iPad is too large. The Playbook looks like a better size. I'm hoping that the new Google tablet betters the existing off…

I can see that checking your email would be fine on a tablet or phone, but composing an email must be something of a nightmare?

They actually appeal to the older generation - judging from some of my family members (the over 60s.) My Aunt uses her iPad oddly enough as a camera more than anything - she loves …

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_There Just about sums it up.

How about doing some hack on a gas lift chair base?

At home I use a keyboard stand (or rather a stand designed for an electric piano), it's adjustable for both sitting and standing, and you can easily put it away.

This was my first standing desk setup.

There's lots of good advice on building silent PCs. I actually have a roomy desktop case, a Lian Li, a passive GFX card, an energy efficient CPU and only one big CPU fan, and a pre…

Yes, dirty is the appropriate word here. It has a rather unsavoury feeling about it.

A far better name. I hope Facebook use this - and fill your pockets with gold.

Name spacing isn't that hard. Facebook should be able to call it Camera - and to differentiate it from another Camera app, call it Facebook Camera. Trying to trademark dictionary w…

I doubt you can call MySpace dead.

Sounds annoying. Did you try through the firefox (registry) - about:config? Failing that you could try something like Firefox Nightly.
