I have the first gen samsung chromebook, that was priced at I think around ~350$. It's getting old and slow, but I still prefer it to my i7 laptop. It's all flimsy plastic and the power jack is starting to give up, but I'm go

I was in the US last month and went into a best buy to test out the latest Samsung Chromebook (using a similir ARM-based chip that the HP Chromebook 11 does) and I was surprised to find out that Flash worked incredibly well on it! I own one

I have a chromebook at home and it has replaced my "serious" laptop almost entirely. Everything I do at home other than games can be done on the chromebook and it's so light and fast to boot I don't bother even opening a

For me there is a clear different between "Hey! You use Mint, we thought you'd like [finance product X] Try it free!" and "Your paypal account has been compromised, log here to reset your password : www.paypalscam.com/reset"

The way the moderators handled this was pretty damn bad. Two different users tell the moderator they use UNIQUE e-mail addresses for dropbox only, and they received spam roughly at the same time and yet the moderator answers by assuming the

I used to work at Skytech. We already had a case of a student discovering a flaw in our code while I was there and things went very smoothly. We contacted the student, he told us what the flaw was, we corrected it. Edouard made him sign a n

In Québec auto dealers are only allowed to be open on weekdays. I can't see why our province (or maybe it's a Canadian law I'm not sure) needs to pass a law to prohibit car sales on the week-end.

I could take it off your hands but I don't have any money to actually buy it. What if you keep 80% of the income and I take only 20% and all the expenses? Seems like a good deal, no hassle and you keep income for years to come!

It looks like a great product and I was expecting to see between 150~350$ each but at 500$ on kickstarter and 800$ once released I don't get it.

I'm intrigued, I tried to get Google Voice in Canada but was unsuccessful. Did you get a US phone number or you managed to get a Canadian area code?

Had to browse to https://www.google.com/favicon.ico to actually see it on Google's homepage since I'm using Google over https. I tried hard refresh and it didn't change until I browsed to the https version of the new favicon.
