It's good to see some icons here that are not present on font awesome (such as the male and female icons, which usually come in handy). I also noticed the -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; in the CSS. Even though I've seen that pointed

Look at the Londrina. The right one is a little bit bolder. Even so, I don't think I would ever notice something like that if it wasn't for the side-by-side comparison.

I thought the same. I've been mostly using Linux for the past month and now that I switched back to Windows (trying out windows 8) this is something that is really bugging me. And it's not just the font aliasing. Some UTF-8 characters are n

Excelent talk. I've been asking in various places how could I access the local file system with a web app and the response was always "You can't due to security reasons" (makes sense, I wouldn't want any website messing with my files). When

There are already mobile clients for android and, IIRC there were clients for iOS but were banned from the app store due to some kind of infringement (I think it was adult content) So I don't think a lot of stuff is going to change, excludi

One of the main reasons I changed to DDG was because I was having some problems with google: - Some times the instant search simply doesn't work until I press enter (and sometimes, even when I do, the results just don't appear) - I noticed

I can also confirm this. I had one of the first iMacs and I remember Netscape crashing constantly and being way slower than IE (Hell, I think the first time I was really surprised by a browser's speed was when I installed IE on a mac). Nets

Same here. I needed to work with their API, so I made a fake account to make some test and to access the documentation. I have no intention of having my own facebook account, much less to have it full of debuging messages. If I created a re

They used JPEG XR: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XR (Microsoft proprietary algorithm). You can't really compare it to skyrim though. Skyrim doesn't use mega texturing (or virtual texturing). It repeats textures all over the place. In

Well, you can watch it first and pay later... I don't think there's any better way to know what you are buying. :)

I don't get it. Is there a reason for some sites to actually do that? (considering that they don't store your password as plaintext) I guess if someone stole their database it would be impossible to know your real password, but still... Or

I'm not sure how easy it would be to do OCR due to the weird font the game uses. The numbers seem easy enough to read though (Way better than the ones used diablo I/II), and I guess that's what count. If they changed the font to the old one
