I suppose it's possible that many of these accounts were inactive, or people may have forgotten even signing up for the service. Or perhaps, despite all the reports in both tech and normal media, they just chose not to bother.

I'll take the opportunity to ask: Is there a way to make Spotlight index files in the Library folders? There are sometimes some obscure preference or cache-files that I need to find.

"The direction appears to be cheap upgrades, and merging feature sets between IOS and OSX so eventually there's one operating system that changes in unison." It is believed by some that Apple will not be pushing their operating systems in t

Different statistics-company, different sources. Market-share like this is difficult to measure.

The issues are most likely to appear with users who go straight from Windows XP to 8. They are not familiar with the ability to search among applications and files, nor with the concept of pinning shortcuts to the taskbar. Considering the m

I'm not one to be late on admitting I was wrong, and it seems I was here. After having searched for some, I realize that I must have mixed up criticism from Android-people with official Mozilla statements over the years. This is the closest

"they completely ignored Apple and made Firefox Sync which just syncs bookmarks etc." There was plenty of sounds from them at the time when they wanted to release a Firefox for iOS, but that was a few years ago by now and it didn't get pick

I keep the equivalent of about 500 USD in cash at a "hidden" spot in my apartment, in case something bad temporarily would happen to my bank account. Not enough for it to hurt if it was stolen, but enough to last for a while (I am a student

Reminds me of some thieves who had stolen a great load of valuable electronics and other items here in Sweden, and put strong jammers in the house where they stored it. Instead of hiding their location, this actually gave them away as it ha

Finally. One of the major reasons I use Apple-products today is that the hardware and software works together out of the box, which creates the feeling that they were made for each other. With clunky PCs, I've never experienced that feeling

"Also, the maps are (IMO) significantly worse in quality than Google Maps." Which kind of quality are you referring to? Image-wise? In terms accurate representations of the environment?

Indeed, it seems that way. The world of bloggers is to me, as we would say in Sweden, ointressant.

Are there any add-ons out there which allow you to remove specific parameters from the URL before requesting it? This would be very useful for me, as I have a slight (probably OCD-related) problem with the parameters added while browsing Yo

"People were laughing at Bing's quality, but it is really on par with Google right now." This is definitively not the case outside of the US. At least not here in the Scandinavian countries.

Well, I'm from Sweden and it's in just as poor taste over here. I suppose someone must've been looking for the cheapest dance/song-group available.

First of all, Metro is forced upon you as the new "start menu". That's where you end up when you boot the computer. Secondly, you have to look at the long term consequences. This may be the direction Microsoft wants to take. Will there be a

I am actually starting to wonder if Microsoft is intentionally making the PC-version of Metro/Windows 8 awkward to use, as a way to speed up the adoption of tablets.

"Microsoft, though, clearly expects the new interface to become the dominant way to use Windows, so I’ve tried to spend most of my time using it." This is important. I've had a lot of "pro-Windows"-friends come up to me and say that Windows

What's kept me away from such solutions are these questions: How can you trust one service with all your passwords? What if their configuration has a vulnerability?

They just tweeted this: https://twitter.com/LinkedIn/status/210356987576324096 - "Our team is currently looking into reports of stolen passwords. Stay tuned for more."

I've developed a system (kept only in my head) where every password I use is based off on the name of the service. This means that with just one of my passwords, you're most likely not getting anywhere. With two, you have a bigger chance of

Just a small note here, but Coda 2 is for sale on Panic's website just like previous versions. After some consideration I went with the MAS-option because of iCloud-integration. Being able to easily sync your sites from your computer to you
