I use a subreddit to collaborate with team members. I know this is an extreme situation, and an odd use, but it's damn inconvenient.

I've heard excellent things about namecheap. I'm going to be moving a few less critical domains to them as a trial.

That's the importance of regular breast cancer screening! Men have our own equivalent too. If you're over the age, go do it!

Not even close. What an incredibly sensationalist title from PC Mag.

It's likely due to two (or more) automated pricing scripts duking it out. Here's how it works: Seller 1 is a well respected seller. They've got thousands upon thousands of good reviews. As a result, they never price themselves the cheapest,

I've gotten it too, and complained about it here on HN. I'm only running AdBlock and I doubt they're advertising.

New Tab page. I guess I'm going back to using about:blank.

Chrome just popped an ad on me. This is inexcusable. (i.imgur.com)

That's what I was thinking of. But, like I said, I doubt little ear lights are a substitute for giant light panels. Then again, maybe they are. It's just too suspicious.

This sort of thing just screams bullshit. Yes, I get that light therapy or whatever it's called is prescribed but somehow I doubt that two little LEDs shoved in your ears is anything close to a substitute.

u413 tried (and may still try) to build its community as a piracy hub. The owner also stole content and despite the "cool" interface, the community is largely dead. Just a warning. :(

There's so many ways to analyze this and so many possible ulterior motives. It's also unfortunate that their anonymity is under threat, even if they don't release the info they are still in danger.

It was an unfortunate (and terrible) bug, but you have to admit the Dolphin team's response has at least been open and efficient.

The first thing that really kicks ass is that search doesn't suck. It's pretty amazing that it's a browser made by Google and that I still have to hunt for things. I really like the fact that you went with the pref UI. There were so many ch

That's because Samsung has a wider view of "smartphone". They release a LOT of Bada phones which they consider to be "smart", but often only mention their Android partnership when they release their numbers.

I just installed it. I use my history a fair amount. I'll be back here on Monday.

Unlikely. Besides the fact that almost no one actually has any faith in it as a platform due to the way HP dropped it, even if they did do a 180, people would still have shaken confidence. Not to mention that there are currently no current

Some backstory: They put out a comic in which they made a secondary joke that involved rape (you should probably read the comic, it's not necessarily ABOUT rape). There was some backlash, and some readers thought the concept was funny enoug

Part of it is the advertiser tunnel-vision thing I've seen where you get ad people saying things like "People will be eager to opt-in to our fantastic savings and they like to be aware of the newest prices and products. Hey... why is almost

The iPhone has had it for a while if you are jailbroken. Qik, Bambuser, and Flixwagon come to mind.

This is people who don't understand the internet trying to apply rules to the internet.

It's good, but in my opinion it needs a lot of work making it more responsive and efficient

Yes, that's the joke.

Through a cannon. Jokes aside, it's best to be respectful and use common sense. If it's because they're underperforming, you can be clear about that. If it's a long time employee and it's because of the economy, obviously, you have to be qu

It's perhaps only tolerable in situations where a site has to deal with phishing on a large scale basis, perhaps on a forum targeted towards a younger audience. And even then, only if it is only a banner which says "WARNING: Don't give out
