   No, I mean "can this iPhone be used to make a smoothie", not "can a blender turn this iPhone into an iPhone smoothie". Take a blender, remove the blades, put iPhones on the spindle where the blades were. Now fire up the

   I want the next "Will It Blend?" to actually answer the stated question — "can this iPhone be used to make a smoothie?" — rather than "can it be blend ED ?". Seems like strapping an iPhone to an angle grinder i

    Interesting flow! Personally I'm beginning to hate email... sorta wish the actually-important stuff in my email were sent to my RSS reader...

    I had the same reaction. If they're going for a Big Brother reference, why not a name like BB or George[Orwell] or something from Newspeak?

    Very slick. The creation process is very nice, but editing an existing account is less straightforward.

    Yep, but I end up sticking that parameter on to a lot of URLs, so I'd like that to happen for every time I view a diff.

    I really wish GitHub would show me all diffs with `-w` by default, with a switch to turn it off...

    After reading a few shell scripts in Fira Mono, I find the serif on the lowercase "r" very distracting compared to Inconsolata. The lowercase "i" too, even though it looks very similar to Inconsolata's lowercase &qu
