A lot of the gesture stuff predates BB10 and was already in Nokia's N9 MeeGo phone. A little bit about the background: http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/meego-diaspora/ http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/

There is a PhoneGap wrapper for Chrome Apps, which you can probably eventually use also for packaging for the desktop OSs (even though now the focus is understandably on iOS and Android as Chrome apps work on the other platforms): https:&#

I wonder if this is related to the recent Adobe and vBulletin user database breaches. They might be trying those passwords on GH.

You can find a washer and drier pretty much everywhere. Most hostels have facilities for washing clothes, and hotels usually provide this as a service. And then there are laundromats of course. The only problem is what to wear while washing

Sure, things are nicer if you speak even a little German. I don't, and have been doing fine in Berlin. Other German cities on the other hand are a different story. Oh, and on banks... At least Sparkasse got me an English-speaking rep w

Also, Berlin is international enough that you'll get by quite nicely without speaking German.

The N900 was amazing. I used it as my only computer on quite a few trips, effortlessly handling stuff like flight reservations and hotel bookings regardless of having to use desktop-oriented websites with Flash. And the keyboard was great f

Google Now sounds like something that would indeed work a lot better on a smartwatch than it works now in a semi-hidden screen on your phone. Adding it as a lockscreen widget sort of helps, but you still have to dig up your phone and activa

Looks interesting, but is unfortunately not that useful for projects that include either build artifacts or external dependencies in their repositories. It would be awesome if it utilized some sort of ignore syntax for those.

There are several bars and restaurants in my neighbourhood that accept BitCoin, so I'm happy to have some for day-by-day use. Especially as most places in Berlin don't accept cards

I don't recall printing anything else than boarding passes in years. Documents nowadays are written on a computer, and also shared and consumed on a computer. And even those only when flying outside of Europe, as here we can use QR Cod
