Very cool. That's why I use Dropbox though, they already officially support all platforms I use. Also, there is little reason to switch away from Dropbox for me, it just works.

Even without doping, athletic training is not necessarily what you would call "healthy". Take an anecdotic example: A guy doing basketball professionally for years, and now requiring knee surgery because his knee is just destroyed. I think

Well, Steam is by necessity an independent package manager. So you can't really have that Zen if you want to use it. Might as well update itself, too. ;)

So, there are multiple approaches to Linux software distribution (for free-as-in-beer closed-source software, like the Minecraft client, Skype, Chrome or Steam): 1. Pump out versioned tarballs, and let distro maintainers deal with packaging

So this actually _is_ about software patents this time, and clearly anti-innovation. I dare anybody to argue that the patent system as it is does not hinder innovation in software.

Are you _really_ sure you'd want that (I think my eyes wouldn't like it)? You can run it at 1920x1200 though.

Those are actually the release notes for GHC (the "standard" Haskell compiler) itself, which is shipped as part of the platform, but is not it. The platform is basically a bundle of GHC, cabal and some other build tools, and some "sanctione

No, because each app has a different token and you can revoke them individually. Google does want people to use OAuth instead of app-specific passwords as much as possible, but sometimes that's not possible or just isn't done. Then you at l

Perhaps they should change the emphasis. But IMHO they should change it in the way that maximizes conversions. What I took offense at was the suggestion that the specs are irrelevant and by consequence should not be shown _at all_. (Also no

Yes, Apple shows that showing specs is not necessary: http://www.apple.com/macmini/ </sarcasm> If specs help sell the things, by all means Google should include them. Whether they are "relevant" or not. Also note that the info tha

When even Germany has a comparatively flexible labor code, you're doing something wrong.

Amazon shows that even a public company can be highly intransparent. Nobody even knows how many Kindles they sold...

I wish it would actually contained any concrete reasons. That might be highly interesting.

The web interface obviously works, sure. But the "sync app" does not.

So now I could activate Google Drive in my account, but ... Dropbox has a Linux app, Google Drive has not. I have more than one computer, and one of them runs Linux. I think I'll stick with Dropbox.

Wikipedia's definition is a bit problematic because it doesn't explain why it is fraudulent, and leaves out the precise elements that make it fraudulent. Namely: promising a non-existent return and the ability to refund, and secretly doing

"You" vs. "other people". In bubbles, the investors just trade the shares among each other. In a Ponzi scheme, there is a central party that refunds investors on demand, and does so with money from new investors. A Ponzi scheme is always a

There are more correct words to describe this. Like "greater fool theory".

I have no opinion whether this is a bubble or not. Just one thing: This is not a Ponzi Scheme. Get your definition of Ponzi Schemes right, please. Ponzi Schemes are a specific type of fraud, not to be generalised to everything that relies o
