"there is a very strong capitalist-critical argument to be made about buying in more intentional and ethical ways, but color me shocked that very few of these minimalist troubadours ever really take things to an economic or class-based

- SelfControl app, you can change the timer to 1 month instead of 24 hours, so you are not forced to click it every morning. - Simple Pomodoro timer, which honestly I use more as a signal for me to get up and stretch my legs a bit. - Disabl

There are some interesting lessons to be learned on how Apple employees communicate. The use of hyperboles, the emphasis on positive words or how every sentence works as a one liner. I liked the moment when the interviewer is trying to stee

Been on Mavericks for about a good week now. Was pretty much a painless move, the only problem I had was that at this moment After Effects CC is unsupported. It's a real tangible performance boost though. Feels extremely snappy on my R

It's a good thing they are looking into this. I always figured that these are not "official" stores thus having limited stock and resupply makes them willing to fight consumers over every small repair, replacement and warranty issue. When t

This looks great. I always wondered why they never seem to highlight their best feature, which is the ability to search text in images or scanned documents. That has been a huge timesaver in the past. One day I'll put all my important docu

I sent them an e-mail when I was looking into dropbox and they offered me 10G, 20G or 25G for a slightly smaller price. I'm not sure if the offer still stands, though. I got into it when they just launched. Edit: Looking at the e-mail they

Read the comments on the Facebook blog, people are just as stupid under their real name. I frankly don't think it'll change anything.

This needs a lot more polish. Why not contact some (student) animators or illustrators who are willing to work for a small percentage of the profit ?

I should stay in bed with my 3,5k a month it seems It's a good income for 24 year olds in Belgium, though. Most everyone I graduated with has 2k/month. I wouldn't know what to do with 2k a day like JM.

If this handheld works offline the battle is already lost. Same goes for the PS3 and the wii, if you disable the system from calling home you can easily open it and do whatever you want with it. These companies should instead focus on creat

Facebook actually handles this pretty well, I have different groups of people and I can cater my status message carefully to each and every one of them. This problem happens more to me when I'm on twitter however, as I'd like to tweet about

Everyone is copying media. _EVERYONE_. How can it NOT be socially acceptable ? The other 30% just doesn't realize that lending a game or buying a game and selling it after you've finished it is exactly the same thing as what an internet pir

Pretty much the same benefits when you're a guy working in a company filled with women. I just take the extra drama with the infinite supply of brownies every day.

Subscription models, vanity lists and social networks should be provided in an app store as a service that gives the digital content more meaning. Steam is doing it. I pirate everything I see but since Steam I'd rather buy some games simply

Exactly the point that I was going to make. Not all games are bad. I played Quake 3 competitively for 7 years and I have seen a lot of players in the scene having success in different fields outside of computer games. Games based on competi

Not sure why inventing the electronic equivalent of crack cocaine is a good reason to become POTY.. Assange is no doubt more important and would have been the best choice.
