That's funny, I'm the opposite. I'm generally unlikely to sign up for any site or service that makes me create and record yet another username/password combo.

That's not the first page of the site, It's a link to a spec page comparing the different models available. IMHO, it doesn't differ significantly from this page: http://www.apple.c…

I hear ya. It might be true for some people that they don't need a GPS, but having an always in my pocket GPS whenever I'm in an unfamiliar neighborhood reduces my stress level a l…

Isn't Raspberry Pi also pretty much a proprietary design? Certainly the Broadcom chipset they use isn't available to the general public, nor is information about the chipset availa…

Am I missing something? Those both look like the reading view of every mobile app that has any kind of article reading feature. Not diss'ing your app btw. The screenshot looks nice…

Or you could just add a location shortcut to the desktop, which doesn't use any extra battery power.

I assume this installs itself as a replacement launcher. In which case it'd be the first thing that come up every time the phone boots. I'm pretty sure the "login" step they show i…

Actually, there's no need to. Terminal IDE already comes with it's own replacement keyboard.

Aside from the new logo, it looks pretty much identical to how the Android Market site has looked for well over a year. It's also logical that it would resemble the Apple/iTunes st…

To be clear, the limit for the main application APK is still 50K. This change allows developers to also host on the Google Market servers up to 2 supplemental files that are up to …

> "If you see one of your best people walking out the door at 6:00 pm, try to think why you haven't challenged that person with an interesting project. If you see one of your avera…

Sounds like a more generalized, urban version of the Mod Live ski goggles ( http://www.reconinstruments.com/products/mod ). The Mod Live googles look amazing, but pretty bulky (plu…

Google+ has completely supplanted Twitter as a news source for me. With G+, you get actual paragraphs of information (often with pictures, etc). If there's a link, it's a real link…

Here's an example of a non-porn app being banned: http://www.macrumors.com/2010/07/20/flashlight-app-sneaks-te... > Massive amounts of malware are being distributed via, at least t…

> They want to control what apps can be installed simply to keep out malware and porn, so that they can do right by their customers who don't want malware and the parents who don't…

HAhahahahahahaha! Diaspora is a non-starter. Have you ever even tried to explain it to a non-technical user? Their eyes glaze over with disinterest. It's to complicated, and no cle…

Having to re-install the OS because of virus issues, etc. is NOT usual and shouldn't be punished by forcing the user to go through some stupid activation system. Having to re-activ…

That sounds like an heck of a lot of extra work just to deal with Microsoft's anti-piracy activation system. IMHO, your "answer" just reinforces the original author's point. Why sh…

I can send a letter or a package to my grandma via USPS without her having to pay any subscription to USPS or "sign up" for USPS in any way. Now, the early days of the telephone sy…

Its interesting that they use Facebook as an example of the "evils" of ad supported platforms. Facebook would never, ever work as a fee-based platform. Facebook is only useful if a…

I doubt it's inevitable. The Movie Tavern is a chain with a similar concept. Food, beer, etc. served with the movie. They've got a location here in Denver that I rather like. Not s…

I think this is great! I've got no problem with reasonable and discrete ads, particular if it helps support sites I use and like. I'd prefer not to have to run an ad blocker at all…

I think the the "normalcy" of smoking is much more similar to how the suppression and shaming of normal sexuality was, until relatively recently, the norm in modern western civiliz…

I'd like to see some references to this supposed "growing body of knowledge", because it sounds like the kind of complete BS put out by anti-porn religious zealots. As a society we…
