On twitter, Tim O'Reilly posts a daily (or almost daily) $9.99 deal of the day. http://twitter.com/timoreilly He happens to link to stuff that interests me, so I'm happy following him, and there's the bonus of a cheap read every now and a

Blocking the Market is something Google really should put a stop to. I've never seen this, though, myself. Then again, buy unlocked and it's not a problem Still, if you you liked the phone, then get one via another carrier.

Yup, I've used the Flashblock Firefox plug-in for quite a while. It replaces any Flash items with an icon that you can click to run the Flash. There's also a right-click option to always enable flash for a site (whitelist). Flashblock is a

I've been on duckduckgo for a few weeks. It's different in a very good way. The only time I reverted to google was to try instant, which I find a great improvement. It's brilliant that there is still quality innovation going on in the searc

But most of the politician do not understand the subtitles. They just see evil pirates and think, pirates bad, copying = theft, etc. When they do their job and listen and debate, then they generally get it. These are smart folk, it's just

It's hard to tell what messages persuaded the MEPs to sign. Most are under their party whip, so don't have much say. UK MEPs appear to have signed in alignment with their respective political parties. So the Liberals signed, and engaged in

The ACTA is an abomination. But the way it has been managed behind closed doors is an affront to global democratic nations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Counterfeiting_Trade_Agree... The article states that the full text of ACTA is u

Readability is great for reformatting most articles. It's also excellent for anyone with a visual impairment, or simply when the font is too small on a monitor. There are plug-ins that use it for firefox and chrome.

Perhaps it's just me, but how do you price this service? Or is it free? The web-site doesn't appear to provide a potential customer with the information they need to evaluate the service. At least, not easily.
