I've been using this CSS code to 'fix' light text on dark backgrounds. However, it's not wise to apply it to dark text on light backgrounds. It often makes the letters too thin and hard to read on standard resolution displays.

I only use Google to find news I've heard about from in-person conversations. I know quite a few people that visit the Verge and similar sites on a daily basis, and they have no intention of reading all their content. I think it's better to

If you're a prospective buyer, knowing the availability of popular software is valuable knowledge. I, for one, would not want to buy a $500+ tablet based on its potential for running good software.

They can revoke access for clients that don't comply with the display guidelines. They probably don't want to be in the business of policing 3rd parties like that, but they have the power if they want to use it.

The reason parts of the tech celebrity circle (like Gruber, Siracusa, and Arment) supported App.net was because of Twitter's new hostility to third-party developers, not because of spam.

That's great, but I'm sure most people would rather spend more data in exchange for more accurate and complete maps. Another thing to remember: with LTE larger maps wouldn't even take much longer to download.

In my experience, it's far more rare to find a person who knows and uses any keyboard shortcuts. When I run training sessions I'm amazed at how many people don't even know the shortcuts for copy and paste. And these are folks that use compu

Professional designers should be able to easily justify the expense of a non-retina external monitor. You can get a 24 inch standard LCD monitor for less than $200 these days.

Would you have bought it last week if you had known they were being bought by Google and effectively killing the product line?

As someone who bought Sparrow during their sale last week, I feel ripped off. I don't think they owe me free updates forever, but I would have liked to have known that it was a fire sale.

Selling the N7 at $200 could be a bulwark against Apple and Amazon's domination of the tablet market. At $250 it looks unfavorable vs the Kindle Fire. At $300 you start to think you should buy an iPad. But at $200 it's the same price as the

I agree, but coming to the conclusion that you don't have all the answers shouldn't mean inaction. Inhumane treatment of animals, brutal working conditions, and environmental damage are moral problems we should be addressing as a species.

Plain old HTML is a fundamental building block of the web. It was designed to be, and still succeeds in being, a simple to learn tool to create documents for consumption by web browsers. Sure, it has added complexity over the years, but you

iOS devices are best in class, or near the top at their price point. Apple laptops and desktops are pricey (although I would argue not outrageously so, especially if you're using them for work), but lower priced alternatives sacrifice a lot

If you had three pair of well-made leather shoes, you could potentially keep them for decades by not wearing the same shoes on consecutive days and treating the leather every few months.

I don't have any hard data to back this up, but my MacBook Pro seems to lose 10% or so if it's battery a day when asleep.
