Silly computer manufacturers still haven't figured out that they can preload Ubuntu for $0 per device... :P

I actually just recently looked in to the 1015E, and I almost bought one but then decided to get a Samsung Chromebook. My top requirements were battery life, portability, and at le…

I was just reading the Wikipedia article about crystal radios yesterday. Does this have anything to do with them?

Yes, especially since the card type is typically in the bottom corner of the card, so for a while it just looks like it's reloading the same image.

"wear a t shirt and jeans" I was always told "dress one level above the job you're applying for". Is that different in the tech world or the startup world?

I would love to read this article, but quartz.com is horribly broken in Opera Mobile on my phone... I'll just wait and read it on my laptop, but this does look like a sign of Webki…

I recently switched from my own server to Zoho.

Thanks, Quartz is literally unusable on my phone.

I went to sign up for Twitter and found that my usual username was taken by someone with exactly one tweet, from 4 years ago! It's definitely frustrating.

> In other words, you have to do more work to get it to work. Last I checked, making a Hackintosh was a lot of work (when it's even possible). And that's what happens when installi…

Doesn't Linux technically have better hardware support than Windows, too? I've seen many laptops where a fresh install of Windows will be very broken until you load up the manufact…

And I seem to remember something about Google requiring all apps to light up the screen, to avoid the whole "stealth" thing.

I'm using Opera Mobile on Android 2.3 and it reflows text nicely. It has some other problems, but it's far better than the stock browser!

Or just button:focus{ outline:none; }. That should remove focus styling on all browsers, last I checked.

Yeah, I also noticed that POP doesn't work with Zoho on my Nexus. I switched to IMAP and it works fine.

I actually just switched my personal email over to Zoho today (before reading this). It's pretty nice; I was surprised not to see it mentioned here as a Gmail/Google Apps alternati…

Actually, SVG can use "classes" just like CSS, so it could be easily recolored in SVG too.

I don't know much about SEO; is "over-optimized" just a euphemism for "spammy"?

Geocities? From the first time I saw someone recommend pasting some javascript in the Description box, I knew Tumblr was the new Myspace.

I just use Unity on my computers, but I tried out Pantheon today (in elementary OS) and it's seriously cool. The window management is fairly similar to Unity but more streamlined, …

I have a Dell Mini with a tiny SSD, and I use selective sync to only sync my Documents folder. I then symlinked ~/Documents to ~/Dropbox/Documents. It works quite nicely. (and I do…

which are decidedly different things. By definition, the bigger problem with spam is receiving it, not clicking on it.

Instead of a bunch of comments just saying "this is cool", it has some upvotes. When people leave specific feedback it's usually criticism.
