I'd be tempted to include blogs about/links to Tiananmen Square protests etc then report the copies to the Chinese authorities. Possibly do something similar for Russia about homos…

No, The Butt by Will Self.

Long-press the back button.

Salinger has certainly got this reclusive business down to a t - nobody's seen or heard anything from him for a good 8 years now.

If it doesn't have to be portable why spend that much on a laptop at all? Why not get a desktop you can at least sensibly upgrade/fix etc?

So you believe that a reviewer or perhaps a random internet commenter making a statement for or against a feature such as a headphone socket "gives attention" which is picked up by…

Sadly, Chrome doesn't support extensions for mobile. Firefox does, which is the (only) reason I use it but that's obviously not going to be around forever. If the choice is ever su…

Google barely sells phones. They might have done with Nexus but they sell as many Pixels in a year as Apple do in 3 days. I know no-one with a Nest. They're still very much an ad c…

Why, was Buddha around after Jesus then?

There's always one.

Please provide me with a list of topics I'm not allowed to joke about.

"In general, drop "lol", "lonely fanbois" etc from your vocabulary if you want your statements to be taken seriously." Thanks for the advice but I appear to be immune to this "soci…

You're quite the rebel prophet, huh? "Wake up, sheeple! Listen to me - I'll open your eyes to the truth". I understand there's a compound in Texas going cheap. One previous owner; …

If that's your angle, remember that that nonsense included explicitly the suggestion that one problem with tracking might be when you "get involved with a terror group", along with…

No it's not just you. I block ads with ublock origin. The end result of the tracking is targeted ads, and as I don't see any of them I don't care how accurate they are.

What's your source for the reason iPhone sales are dropping?

Fragmentation! Lol! The only people who seem to care about "Android fragmentation" are lonely Apple fanbois. It makes no difference to Android users as the version of Android you r…

Stack overflow is pretty popular. Although their recent attempt to "be nice to new users" (which wasn't necessary before, and coincides with the quality of answers rapidly approach…

Even if you were someone for whom the page is clear, you might still be confused by why someone who would need to take a not insignificant amount of time getting their development …

Presumably because nobody cares about the security of email addresses. The part of their system which handles credit cards hasn't been shown to be compromised, but maybe Gmail's sp…

Why would anyone care if you had their address, or email address? Why would Amazon be interested in going into details about an email address leak? Outside of a handful of people w…

Facebook and Google use QR codes to link phones and desktops. It shows the QR code and your point your phone at it and that's it. I can't think of anything quicker. People sometime…

That's the same as elsewhere though. You never need to state something is copyright; it already is.

It's more clean in the way breaking or continuing from for loops and switch statements are. Or don't you approve of those either?

You could always add a comment "this is not a loop" if you find it puzzling that the language allows you to loop zero times.
