Because the resolution shift happens client side, before the photo is transmitted to their servers. They couldn't have the full res version stored elsewhere. That's how we know.

The sound quality of the voices for the two example dubbed videos is poor, in my opinion. There's a slight echo or white noise over the voice.

Making me enter payment info to try it out makes this a non-starter for me. There's not enough information on the main page as to how it actually works or who is behind for me to be comfortable just plugging my credit card into a random sit

Class 10 MicroSD can do 20MB/sec, that's not that bad.

The microSD slot allows you to add up to 128GB of storage fairly cheaply to your Surface. I don't see this as a big problem.

Uh, what? They have engineers architecting their payment system's security. The screenshots are handled by possible interns, staff, anyone associated with the project, etc. There's no reason why a leak would have anything to do with system

Congratulations, Apoorva! I've used Instacart a few times now and it's very intuitive and straightforward.

They were comparing it to Dropbox because that's the comparison actual users will make. Regardless of whether they want to brand as 'backup' or 'photo storage', people are starting to view those things equally and Dropbox is an EXTREMELY po

Yeah, my sense the user backlash from unsolicited mobile ad spam would even hurt a giant with such heavy engrained web commerce inertia as PayPal.

That's a mockup, not a prototype. If they're spending development time making a prototype, they should build it for the people who would be using it so they can collect user feedback properly. I do think, however, that their time would have

Pricing is explained in their launch post, here: http://tapbots.com/blog/news/tweetbot-mac Essentially because there are some users who will pay the $20.00 amount, and there are limited seats, they are maximizing earnings/user.

You need to rethink your approach to TLDs, in my opinion. I got suggested to switch to a .me when I entered a perfectly valid .re ending.

The video is the only content on the page. If you don't have your system configured to play video (user error), why would you expect a fallback? There is, in fact, a little "X" that loads in the top left. http://elsewhe.re/Jwtz

We use it at Getaround and it works well all the time. We once had our internet line go out and couldn't lock our office until we found the spare key, though.

The new IE is actually pretty good. Microsoft knows that IE6 is an abomination and even made a website dedicated to its demise: http://www.ie6countdown.com/

My understanding is that Kickstarter is a funding platform, not a donation platform. Funding and donation have very different connotations.

The pricing seems like a complete rip-off, to be honest. $10 for a sticker? $40 for a t-shirt? $1000 for a skateboard? For comparison, you can buy a top-of-the-line longboard for $200, full kit. An essentially equivalent product [1] is sell

Tons of small businesses in San Francisco use Pay With Square already, and they don't have the rigorous employee training procedures that Starbucks has. I use Pay With Square all the time—at tiny bakeries, big coffee shops, and restaurants.

I would say that he ruined his life, not the other way around. 1. He accepted what he knew was an illegal drug at the concert, and kept it, planning to 'give it away'. Who does this? 2. His passenger was carrying screens and a pipe, and he

On average, for most places in SOMA/Misson/Marina, Get It Now has been cheaper than TaskRabbit. (This is based on my own experience using both services and by the released average Get It Now has been using in their PR.) I think you prefer T

Or, you can use http://postmates.com/getitnow for a cheaper delivery, at any time (while In-N-Out is open, of course.) This is a clever marketing wrapper for an inferior service.

You trust your current ISP? I've never understood these arguments. Google doesn't 'snoop' on your browsing—they anonymously track your habits to give you better ads as their business model. You used to get terrible ads on the internet—flash
