    Western Digital's WDTV Live can play any file you throw at it. http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=330 It supports many online services as well, but unfortunately no Pr…

    I'm on the verge of doing the exact same thing. On that plan are you able to use any of that data for tethering or mobile hotspot? A customer service rep said you can use all of yo…

    I see very highly rated negative reviews all the time. They even make a point to show you helpful critical reviews.

    Tangent: How on earth do product blogs not have a link to their product page? Nowhere is there a link to feedly.com in their header or sidebar, I have to manually edit the URL. Rid…

    That 25/month for one year on the free plan is only for 5Mb down, 1Mb up... not Gb speeds.

    Even if Apple was the first company ever to have a disappearing scroll-bar on a mobile device, I'm amazed something like that can be patented. To me it seems like a common sense ev…

    I started using Everything ( http://www.voidtools.com/ ) to help mitigate XP's slow searching and still use it today, even with Win7's much improved search functionality. Everythin…

    It was bad form to just post a link without any background... There is a well-known usability bug in Win7 explorer that the engineers are aware of but don't seem to care about. Bug…

    Thanks for that... Hadn't noticed HN automatically truncates long URLs.

    I agree with the OP that all his examples were a poor use of no-reply addresses. My point is that they do serve a purpose sometimes - my example being notifications, reminders, and…

    True, if it is a relatively small support operation. This would be harder to do with larger companies that had separate addresses for billing questions, service problems, troublesh…

    Thanks for replying. I can understand how someone who puts tons of time and effort into something can sometimes mistake questions and confusion for criticism. I plan on using Fuel …

    I've been following Fuel's commits ever since they were on GitHub, and it's been impressive watching it all come together. The only concern I have is with the overall tone of the p…

    What happens if your phone is in a poor reception area, or without internet connection? Then you can't listen to music? Can the app manage which songs you'd also like to have store…
