Oh that's cool. Didn't know about that.

The problem on Android is that a lot of countries still don't support payments for apps. In other words, on android you still can't use paid apps. You're limited to the free apps. …

Watch a youtube review or read a review on it. If possible, test it out on a friends phone? In a perfect world Apple would allow a trial mode for apps which would enable all featur…

This is definitely a good thing. Support the developers. It takes a lot of time and effort to build an app. Surely a single dollar (usually) is not too much to pay. Im' still surpr…

I think he's saying Java is recreating what C made.I don't agree since Java allows writing of code at a higher level. (with a garbage collector etc) Every programming language sort…

Just check his TED talk. http://blog.ted.com/2006/08/29/jimmy_wales_on/ He basically says it's dirt cheap to host and operate and that it's one of the best things about it. At the …

I also feel they focus a lot of attention on subscribing and channels. It's now easier to see new content from a channel you love.

Yes. Except for okcupid. They pleaded with me via an ad of theirs (which was locally so it wasn't flagged by adblock) telling me that they rely on ads for income. They also said th…

Check out http://theat.me/ . Something very similar and 'designy'. And they also index movies on crackle etc. A lot of free to watch sources. (usually only if you are in the US tho…

If it's your wrists try a dvorak keyboard. But I would suggest some exercise and healthy eating (aka Paleo) above all.

http://storagemojo.com/2007/02/19/googles-disk-failure-exper... Google did some research on this with their datacenters. There is apparently no correlation between heat & diskfailu…

Not only that but it's 10 times easier with Homebrew. So it's an incorrect article imo. Shouldn't make the frontpage. Especially with that title.

exactly what I was thinking ;o

A lot would argue that it's a horribly cluttered and slow IDE. People who love VIM will definitely not like Visual Studio. That said, since the last few years Microsoft has really …
