    I think your info is a bit outdated (and some incorrect). Buy a mac (or ignore the Eula and run OS X in a VM), install the dev tools (free), install the app on your iPad (free). If…

    Try this site, I use it occasionally to help me ignore the fan / vibration noise in this building and it works really well (for my purposes at least). There are plenty of different…

    Depending on my mood I'll either stop reading and leave the site, or fill in an (hopefully an actual) email address of the domain I'm on, then leave the site. It's never ever entic…

    The individual posts load really quickly, but the main page doesn't (well not as fast as the other one mentioned). Either way, both are fast and I wish more websites were like this…
