Nice move on their part. I think while the Tesla may be less fire-prone than other cars, Musk exaggerates it: "The odds of fire in a Model S, at roughly 1 in 8,000 vehicles, are five times lower than those of an average gasoline car...

When I switched to a Mac, I had to switch from OneNote to Evernote. I missed the various levels of structure OneNote provides, and also found Evernote occasionally glitchy. So it's nice to see Microsoft finally come out with this.

I used to disable adblock on Google since I didn't find the ads intrusive. However the ads blends right into the results with the new changes, so I'm re-enabling it. Though overall I assume Google will get a revenue boost from th

Dropbox charges 5x for 100GB/month. Assuming Google Drive works, why would people pick Dropbox?

It would be great if they just kept all tabs on one row and shrunk them as needed. I end up relying a lot on ⌘⇧N. (I should probably map it to something shorter though.)

Rubymine comes with such a feature built-in. However, I found that my model diagram was too complicated to really be useful.

Bing doesn't find it when searched in plain-text, while Google can find it in both their auto-complete suggestions and in Chrome's page search. +1 Google.

Cool, this made it to the front page! I just discovered this whole area of unicode and wanted to see if it would show up here and why it exists. I guess the answers about it being for Math make sense.

Nice editor. Though I wonder with all the font links lately, is the world really short on fonts? Shouldn't Google fonts and the like just about cover any need?
