I've been continually impressed with Pebble since their very first Kickstarter. They've done a lot on a few levels: - For smartwatches (and possibly even wearables) they produced and shipped what I'd consider to be the first

I've never once paid by Paywave, even though I think I have it on all my cards. I don't know if it's a European thing but despite all the tech being installed it just hasn't seen much adoption - I know no-one who uses it

I'm in Budapest and there are now two bars and a restaurant that take Bitcoin.

I used to joke that I had more bitcoins than I could spend in my lifetime. Not because I had a lot, but because there was fuck all to spend them on. I just paid for my lunch in Bitcoin. Not as some evangelical, cryptanarchistic statement, b

The TM on your brand looks unfriendly and as though you're writing in the style of Paypal T&Cs. I thought you might be trying to make an ironic point but it doesn't seem that you are (Correct me if I'm wrong).

Thanks! The content for the book came from the liquidator of a company which held the copyright. It was a complicated situation - the illustrations I believe were licensed for print to a few different publications, including magazines. A

Happy to answer any questions on the app, or the website. For those who are curious it has sold 61 copies in the past three days, all organically from the site. Not exactly retirement money but I'm very happy with that as a start.

Aberdeenshire is in Scotland. The explanation will almost certainly be that the site fencing was on hire, and no-one bothered taking off the old signs.

Ho ho ho, let's all chuckle at what a dastardly gaff our hapless Oliphant made - leaving the door open for those pesky Americans to get stuck into the oil. When we wonder why the Arab world is filling with hatred it's because this

Same here. Got a 5S because I gave my mum the 4S. The only feature that makes any difference is the fingerprint scanner.

I agree absolutely. I've no experience of medallion systems but they seem clearly ridiculous. I do see the argument for quota systems that enable limit licence numbers to keep wages at a level where drivers are incentivised to mainta

I'm in Paris at the moment and I absolutely love it. I plan to stay. I was worried that this article would be about some sort of honeymoon period that I'm on - glad to see it's the opposite. There's a lot to love, and
