I got a shabby and scuffed up 10 year old leather jacket cleaned recently. It cost me less than £50 and came out great. Buying a new one would have cost £250+ I wonder where the bi…

This. I started with a BB Storm and stayed through several BB10 handsets up to the Passport. There was no second guessing the UX with Blackberry. The menu was always in the same pl…

I like the way the author has articulated this. It can be built on by applying the economics concept of "externalities" - i.e. side effects (positive or negative) from a particular…

Can someone paste the contents here?

Hours after visiting ecommerce websites on my computer I am being retargeted on facebook on my phone. I don't know how this is happening given that I'm running the following on my …

This might still work as fb-only ad blocker: http://www.fbpurity.com/ I've been using it for years and have turned off my entire news feed on desktop. I don't miss it one bit.

This seems excessive and petty - not good business practice and (imo) suprising from Elon Musk. I wonder if there is more than the brief outline of events reported.

Wow. I had a similar experience with Skype too. They couldn't care less that someone had got access to my account and made calls. The attacker even added his own mobile number (in …

I'd reason that legacy costs would be an issue for black taxi drivers even if they could set their own fares: All registered taxi drivers have already spent £££ getting "qualified"…

I'm surprised a lot of the posts here are missing the key point. The main argument black cab (taxi) drivers are making is that Transport for London (the regulatory body) forces the…

Thanks for clarifying. It was an all or nothing option for me - i.e. if I denied location access I couldn't use the app.
