    It's a CLI python app, so I'd have though that it was Windows friendly. I spent days trying to organise my collection of music (and still haven't suceeded). It's in many formats. I…

    It wouldn't matter though, if once you tried a recommendation, you could vote it in or out of future plays.

    That's funny. That's a bit of a holy grail. Because you need the shuffle to track your mood. I found that it really subdues my listening, in that I don't always want some punk musi…

    You can always rent and buy. I'd be nervous buying DRM'd content from a supplier that may not be around in the future. But renting I could care less - unless I paid for years upfro…

    As someone that likes to pretty much always override author's styles, Chrome is pretty much out for me. There is no easy way in the browser settings to select your own stylesheet. …

    Mail selection with Yahoo is tricky, but it's mostly usable. The current iteration is way better than it has been. (They've fixed back button integration. ) Google use a lot of but…

    Regarding icon fonts: I override all web fonts, I just want to use a readable one. There's a noticable trend with embedding icons in fonts. Yahoo mail uses them. This doesn't feel …

    I agree with you on the JS front. Looking at you Yahoo mail -> and the user menu.

    Imitation aside, the novel thing about this adaptation, is that it practices your typing pace and control. Other typing games focus more on raw speed. Some tutors report/measure yo…

    I'd be more concerned about the repurcussions of having it record everything rather than what it looks like. See Black mirror: The entire history of you. http://www.imdb.com/title/…

    I'd barely notice glass if it looked like that, far less prominent than bluetooth headsets or white headphones, or people clutching smartphones and bumping into each other, or just…

    There have been a fair few posts about this on HN. I think some people are actually quite glad of a HN blackout. I did decide one year that I would not check those sites at work. A…

    It's not just photo. It's as simple as people just wanting to be able to do things intuitively and easily. Hey I took a great photo at the weekend, let me share it with you, here y…

    Great that you touched on photo sharing. It's 2014 and it's still difficult to get photos from a camera to your computer to your friends. Publishing a simple web page is still deem…

    It's easy to bemoan the incumbent, but it's not easy to get rid of them. Remember Myspace, it was huge. A no-frills more personal alternative to it was born in Facebook. They are d…

    Spotify desktop app Linux uses about 11% of my CPU, Rdio / Chrome uses a shade over 30%. (Having said that the Spotify app's windowing is a bit ugly and glitchy for me. I think it'…

    If you read the homepage, it suggests free accounts get access for 6 months.

    Like the TV then. Weirdly the ITV player in the UK has completely pathetic sound on the adverts that you can hardly hear, which makes them a little more bearable.

    How many plays/mins until you run out?

    Just signed up. A couple of weird issues, I was presented with people to follow. I had no idea who these people were, and wondered what it meant to follow them. I managed to skip t…

    I will listen more now, but that's probably a good thing. I barely used it in the past because of the limit (no idea what it was, but I'd hit it). As I said if I had a higher quali…

    They probably just observered listening habits. I'd fire up Spotify, listen to it for a day or two, then hit the limit (that I always seem to forget exists). And just switch it off…
