You need to earn points for access to those features - i.e. be a part of the Deviant Art community. Kind of a clever idea.

Which in turn is so low compared to many other countries in Northern Europe.

Sadly, I think book DRM could be successful. Amazon is trying to create a de facto platform - rather than just a device - and so long as they port it to as many devices as they can, it will do well. Many are avoiding Apple's book service fo

Yeah, especially tomatoes. So many vintage varieties with usual colours/tastes, and you can let them ripen naturally. Tomatoes are difficult though, I've seen lots of newbies have trouble - it's one of those plants that people need to read

Having stuck with the Amiga until '98, with an overly expanded computer - capable of playing Quake etc, it was the last real computer platform I cared for. All these useless companies that purchased it without a long term plan was exasperat

Digg's main problem is it left the technology niche and became mainstream. The same thing has happened with lots of forums I used to frequent - for example, one broadened their focus from a highly technical media broadcasting community, to

I think one of Google's main problems in respect to building apps, is they stick to their overly simple design principles, which don't lend themselves to complex services like social networks. If you log into Orkut as an early adopter, it's

It's not like a social network is a difficult thing to build. Google's got the audience, all they have to do is build something that's useful and addictive.

It's not really an article, it's a book extract. A demo to get you to purchase the book and it fills the paper.

Norway is similar to the UK in a way, they both had lots of oil and natural gas reserves in the '80 and '90s. The difference is Norway saved the cash to immense proportions, while the UK spent the cash and used the excess fuel to live cheap

Seems like an ideal - if unrefined - technology for internet connected TVs, provided it's switched off by default. Sigh. I bet it is abused by commercial TV for contextual advertising - making TV even more annoying to watch.

Ever since the purchase of Sun, this was always assumed to happen - they are too cutthroat to leave those projects alone.

Not sure what to think about this post. I've heard Leo speak about the likes of Twitter being the "internet's nervous system." In reality, these social networks - although useful for certain activities, like networking - are mostly superfic

It depends on the topic that your website specialises in. Determine that, then search for ad networks and rep firms that represent those areas. If you find the right service and you are well know enough within the niche, they will personall

Adsense was amazing for the first year, but after it became mainstream, the rates fell drastically. If your website has a strong brand and design (i.e. isn't a blog) then there's lots of alternatives that pay better.

The good thing about old European cities is they weren't designed for cars and they've grown organically. The Prince of Wales has been attempting to build a new town using similar principles in England: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poundbu

I was more comparing it as a drink that you would consume away from home, going into a shop and choosing between a myriad of soft drinks and water products. Although I do see your point. Coca-cola tried that municipal/tap water scam in the

I tend to think modern US blockbusters, are heavily influenced by special effects rather than characters, which usually means killing lots of stuff.

I've never understood why people dislike bottled water, yet seem to ignore soft drinks. Soft drinks are packed with sugar, acid, colourings, synthetic sugars, flavourings; while a bottle of water is a healthy alternative. Granted, people sh

Looks good, just try to keep it free of recruitment agents. I have seen lots of job websites rendered useless once recruitment agents start posting – that is, you have no idea what company you are applying for. Also, could you add flags, li

Indeed. Whenever I looked in magazines targeted at casual internet users over the past decade, Skype was always the service recommended as "VOIP". It works through practically any network problem, which makes it ideal for hotels and from us

C++ as far as I know. Skype has its roots in Kazaa's file sharing technology, they use a proprietary P2P network to get around routers and firewalls - something that VOIP services lack. It also does direct high quality connections where ava

It should work with all networks in the UK. It's a nice phone for international usage due to the supported frequencies. The reason the US has problems is their two main networks use incompatible technologies.

It is simple in a way. It's an alternative to building another deck on top of the road for light rail to run along. Probably cheaper and less devastating to communities that it runs though.

There isn't a connection, one network (TWIT) is fronted and owned by Leo Laporte, the other (This Week In) by Jason Calacanis. Laporte doesn't seem to like how Calacanis has diluted the TWIT brand by launching a similar sounding network, so

London is indeed expensive, salaries for jobs are very high too, and unlike other parts of the UK - where jobs are posted and filled almost instantly, I've noticed London based start-ups seem to advertise the same dev jobs for months, even

They should re-brand it or do a spin-off if that's the case. OK Cupid, just sounds like a dating website, and I'd assume someone with a profile on that site is merely looking for a partner.

With Windows Phone 7, they would be essentially selling commodity phones, in a similar vein to Android manufacturers. Going with WebOS potentially puts them into the Apple league, where - if they play their cards right - can allow them to c

That comment about advertising being risky while they move out of a recession is a strange one. Outside of a recession advertising rates will increase hugely; what they should be scared of is the next recession and preparing for it.
