>These stores also do not have the right equipment to allow the use of smart cards, credit cards embedded with computer chips that are much less susceptible to fraud. It seems they're referring to 'chip and PIN' cards as well as NFC.

I work in a large business, and every single time someone has to do a presentation with slides, they do it wrong. They create the slides, put in all the content they want to show, then write the talk. The best slides are ones that are creat

Just because he doesn't use it any more doesn't mean the feedback is any less valuable. It's great feedback. It points out specific problems and solutions. Ways that, from his point of view, the UI could be improved.

the beauty of it is that if you don't like Google, it provides interfaces and APIs to extract your data in standard formats. You can export emails, contacts, calendar stuffs, docs, etc. Facebook allows none of this. Once you're in, you're s

> The screen has a matte finish. Yes!!!!!! I sneer in the general direction of all non-matte-finish screens. Really? You have made your compromises, they have made theirs. Everyone has different needs, personally I'm fine with only 800

Thanks for being an awesome maintainer! I made my first contribution to a GH project a couple of weeks ago. It was only a few lines, and the maintainer had to make a few modifications before he merged it, but I got some really positive feed

I did a similar thing, and ended up going with Zoho. My main reason was that they offered push email through their Exchange service, meaning push email on my phone. I've been super happy with them so far (about 2 months)

That's where Google integration will play into it. You need that file on your Android phone? It's there on the filesystem, no need to open another app. Want to open a file in Google Docs? You click on it in the side panel. Want to share a f

A month or two ago I migrated off Google Apps for similar reasons. I've been very impressed with Zoho for email, calander, contacts, etc. The main reason I chose them was that their paid plan provided push email through Exchange/ActiveSync

Do you really need Arq and iCloud together? Why do you need BaseCamp and Google Apps (GA has a free tier anyway). Is it critical that you have your GA and BC files synced to your Dropbox (doesn't that just defeat the purpose of the 'cloud'?
