Why the downvote? I was trying to say that tagging isn't the problem, it's where the tagged photos are visible.

What if you tagged an embarrassing photo of me, shared it with a circle of hundreds of co-workers (that you excluded me from), and then not only do I not know the picture is out there, but co-workers can see it by visiting my profile and l

Are there a security and usablity problems with having to maintain an ever growing list of TLDs? Browsers need to know what the TLD in a URL is so that they know how to stop cross site cookies being created, as well as for lots of other rea

Could you link up every item in the table of contents and have more cross links in the text. I like reading things like this on my kindle (using the Readability chrome extension) and anything that makes it easier to navigate would be apprec

They named windows before most people knew what a windowing UI was. They're trying to come into an already mature market, they won't be able to create much awareness with a generic brand. Think how it will be referred to on broadcast news w

at least live.com was a distinct brand. Having the domain social.com is like inventing a new vacuum cleaner and calling it "Vacuum".

This got me thinking that gplus.com would be a good domain to put all the G+ content. Unfortunately it's taken, and is used for a community site: https://www.gplus.com/About-Us I sense a lawsuit in G+'s future edit: I've submitted it to H

If you only trust 6 people to have access to your email address then customise Facebook's privacy settings to only let those people see it. You don't have to trade data security for access to friends. Facebook can't protect you from every w

I had been using a three-tier password system, consisting of three passwords of increasing difficulty, used for sites of increasing levels of importance. Now I'm sitting here wondering what's next, as I can't remember all the sites I use

But if the release schedule is faster, and there is less in each release, then surely they can support more releases. I'm assuming that the amount of code change relative to the latest release has more impact than the incremental burden of

That said, I think there is absolutely no chance that the Firefox team will, after significant internal effort to speed up and become more agile, slow down to please IT groups. It's not the speed of development that's the problem; it's th

I think it would be hard to make it agnostic with all the library code that will be available. All the js packages that are being written for node are written to work with the the feature set and bugs of V8. If there's a V8 node on windows

If you invented it first, but didn't tell anyone about it, then it's not prior art and anyone else is free to patent it. If you publish details about it, it's prior art and can't be patented.

Surprised that Microsoft would support V8 as a server side JavaScript engine instead of doing something with Chakra.

I think only a few religious/academic institutions have managed to have ambitious projects in the 100-year range. I'd be genuinely interested to hear if you could name any.

without asking whether it was allowed to I'd hope the mic icon and popup are part of chrome, rather than being something implemented by the web page. If that's the case then consent is implied by clicking on the mic icon.

When designing a system like this you have to have a veil of ignorance. There may from time to time be attacks or defects that mean some people lose a lot of money while others gain some. Not knowing which will happen to you, how would you

Example: You are building an editable list. The client insert and delete items from the list, which is then synchronized with the database. Now you need the HTML generating code on both the client and the server. Being able to reuse conte

Conditional formatting based on a formula is great for highlighting cells with values that don't make semantic sense.

I think the point the article was trying (unsuccessfully) to make, was that a phone number is "fixed with a single carrier and single device" at any one time . You can switch carriers or devices, but you can only use one at a time.

Of course, a refusal to confirm or deny the US's involvement in the Stuxnet worm isn't an admission. After all, it's possible that Lynn simply doesn't know if the USA was involved - and doesn't want to be caught on film denying something w

I was replying to the previous comment, trying to say that you can't always guarantee that a remote machine will be available. There are more benefits than just having your development environment always available though, like not needing t
