My MacBook's core temperature goes up 80ºC (~176ºF) when playing Flash video (Vimeo, Youtube...). This doesn't happen with HTML5 embedded videos, or just standard H.264 or XViD videos.

Freemium is a nice concept for me. Let's take two examples, Flickr and Dropbox. I'm a heavy Flickr user, and their premium account is cheap, worth the price for me, and still a good deal for them. They still make money! Let's talk about Dro

Not really a browser bug: <style> .first:visited {background:url(visited-ycombinator.png)} .second:visited {background:url(visited-twitter.png)} #layer {text-indent:-10000px} </style> <div id="layer"&

And what about a real-life case? I'm pretty sure that a GAE app can handle much more than what is said in the benchmarks. In fact, firing 100 connections to the same host from the same IP is not a real-life case for me. But I'm pretty sure

Wouldn't it be much better to keep phone numbers, but leave them in the "backstage"? In a few years (let's say, 10 years) most (not to say, ALL) phones will have internet access, and also access to DNS servers. Why don't create a DNS entry

It looks like this guy went to Spain, so a few things that may interest you if you're going to travel there and use data: There's a virtual operator (simyo, http://simyo.es ) which offers a reasonable rate of 1€/first 100mb of the day, 9ct

With spanish operators, roaming is about 10€ (~15$) for each megabyte... So 3,5€ for each megabyte is "cheap" for me. Anyway, it's still really-really expensive. And they really could lower the price, as the home operator (the operator you'

Media is not the key. In fact, we can't change the media/entertainment world, but change perception of things in our society. For example, a guy which has once visited a prostitute in his life is not a sexual offender. At least for me. That

Am I the only one tired by all those two-frame tools that "compare" two search engines which are being published at news.yc? GoogleAskYahooBing... that's enough to compare, we can do it ourselves. (In fact, I used to do that kind of things

IMHO, I find it useless. Maybe for long messages (splitted, >500chars) in East-European languages it's a good idea, but not for any Western European language (English, French, Spanish... yeah, it's maybe a little bit slower to write but

With "little web apps", I mean, for example, little sites for some little, local companies (from friends!) that just need to keep a news stream, a map or something like for their clients). I help friends to have "decent" webpages, and not t

I've tried CakePHP, CodeIgniter and some other PHP frameworks, but I don't feel comfortable with any. In fact, I just want to build little apps (a few pages, an embedded gmap with some info added through the admin and some mice) in a few ho

It's not cheap, and that, at least, is good. But in Europe you won't find free Wifi and power outlets, and you'll probably look stupid with a laptop in a coffee frequented by lots of tourists. But there's no other place to stay with your la

Traffic looks attractive, but it's a problem when you don't get any benefits at all. By the way, I still don't see how is bit.ly going to stay alive. But what if we had our own url shorteners? I could have my own shortener on my own domain

I also suffered the same, in my case I got suspended two times. First time, I could recover my account (2 or 3 days later), but then, I had to wait for about 5 months... and it's such an horrible thing ... (and makes you think about google
