That behavior is something that site owners can choose to enable with some asynchronous font loaders, not browser specific. For example, TypeKit adds a .wf-loading class to the <html> element immediately, begins loading the font async

The nice thing I've found about using the Messenger app is that it seems to put a lot less strain on my battery, especially after I disabled location services for the Messenger app. I like being able to disable location services in Mes

I just tested one from my Google Apps account's web interface and emailipleak.com claims that it didn't include my IP (same sending on that account through Outlook 2013 too). I wonder if there's a setting to control that?

What I'm saying is that the online version of Office is both free and will run in a browser on your Mac. In my opinion at least, the web-based Office 2013 apps make Google Docs look like a toy - especially if you need to interop with n

The online Office apps have been free for quite a while. At least a year now, if not more.

On an un-patched, un-updated Windows XP machine, maybe. From Vista onward, the built-in software firewall and UAC make a default install relatively safe. I never ran any real-time virus protection on Vista and 7 (though I did run a few manu

I disagree with Pxtl overall, but there are some high profile examples like Microsoft's Entity Framework coming from way behind and eventually overshadowing established open source ORMs like NHibernate. On the other hand, creating a ne

If Greg is a real person, he's in great shape job-wise. There's incredible demand for .NET developers right now. Not so much in the West Coast startup world, but nearly everywhere in the corporate world.

Just my n=1, but I think I've only had one BSOD since Windows 7 came out (and literally none running Vista, before that, for what it's worth). I have a Surface RT and Pro also, and neither of those have ever crashed. I saw a scree

For what it's worth Dell does sell several configurations of most models that ship immediately or next day. Personally, I prefer to build my own, but I help my clients choose Dell PCs from time to time and it's never been an issue

RTM was accurate in this case though, no? They did release this to their OEM partners to use as the basis for machines shipping in Q4, with the expectation that Windows Update will finish applying any interim changes, bug fixes, updates,

Huh? No, I'm not saying that any of that is the result of a monumental effort at Microsoft. Most of that has been around for quite a while. I was just responding to the parent poster who pointed out that they hadn't noticed any in

That may be true for your average HN user, but Microsoft products generally work pretty darn well with other Microsoft products. There are always exceptions, but as someone who works with small businesses often, I don't see any obvious

If the dictation feature on the keyboard counts (and I suppose it should, because the dictation is sent to a service somewhere to be processed; it doesn't happen on the phone), I use that dozens of times a day. I rarely use Siri proper
