Look at all the comments under the announcement. Really sum's up how I feel as well. A selling point of Opera was the built in email client. I liked how Opera used to be a silo for a whole bunch of features. When you closed it the rest

On the topic of nukes. What is the point of them... Conventional warfare.. you cannot send in nukes before your troops to soften up the enemy. Assuming you lose an invasion you cannot send them in after you pull your troops out. You cannot

Wouldn't defying the court order mean you are breaking the law? I wonder what that would mean in terms of fines and possible legal implications for the directors? I am sure the Government would say that the company is with holding data esse

Didn't know it existed... that said.. this is how you discontinue a product. Say sorry, send the client their data, recommend alternatives. Well done. Far better than past attempts by Yahoo, Google, Aqui-hires who shutter a product and leav

The ideal facebook for me would let me explicitly set a threshold before things become visible. So.. I would create 3 groups. Family, Friends, Acquaintances. Family + Friends status's would always appear. Acquaintances status updates would

I don't get why the guy completely stepped out of the music industry. Apart from failing with agency it sounded like he had some musical talent and was at least making a living.. he opened an agency with royalties... he then takes a low wag

Did Opera ever target these users? I always thought the selling point was the e-mail /rss / irc etc. The things Opera came bundled with. I am sure these will still be available via extensions but then again I don't see the point of Opera no

I don't get it. Maybe i misremember but I thought Opera was a feature rich browser with an email client, widgets and a bunch of other stuff. Now mail has been shunted into its own product. I don't see widgets. It really looks and feels like

Google homepage has always been good.. You are immediately drawn to a big box in which to enter text. The problem with guys site is it isn't optimised for getting purchases. Too much is going on. The user isn't guided through the software o

Seems like the article is only showing half the story. Costs are going up which means increased competition. Increased competition will mean your ads are running against more competitors. Reason for fall in click-throughs could be under-opt

Adding an attribute to an existing element currently seems impossible unless I am really missing something. Say you have.. <div> In any other tools you can double click it and press tab to add an attribute. Most have a right click o

My opinions change regularly, I am sometimes enlightened, I sometimes have a change of heart. I don't post with my actual identity because of this. I don't want a situation where someone stumbles onto an old post or where I played devil's a

What are the anti-piracy people supposed to do? They trusted the web design firm and apparently were let down. Should the site owner have to vet the content again? I was on a site buying icons the other day and it occurred to me. There is n

Why? This looks like a side project, a bit of fun. Author should be free to knock it up how they want. It should also be noted standards compliant !== work everywhere.

I would hope that this and other news outlets picking up the story would carry enough juice to help push the offending content from the first page. Its a terrible story. Can he not submit take down notices to individual websites?

I think it would have been more interesting and more scary if there was a trend amongst people in completely different fields.

I don't really understand what people who retire so early do with themselves. Employment brings activity and social interaction. It is often challenging and keeps you sharp. When you retire what do you do? Take up painting? If you retire yo

I am not a jerkbag yet multiple times I have put my beliefs to one side to implement something I really didn't want to do. It made me sad and demoralized for weeks. Yet the choice between sticking to values and feeding family is not a diffi

So... a few friends and I were discussing what would happen if we lit the gas tap in the science lab. We were 11-12 and I think I had just seen an episode of Bottom with a lit gas pipe. We were strangely unattended in a science lab that day

As your steam collection cannot be resold doesn't it now have zero monetary value? I stopped buying games when I realized I don't actually play the games I buy. Some are still in their cellophane wrapper.. I recently signed up to Playstatio

The problem is that Riot's implementations have completely failed at solving the problem. By promoting reporting now a lot of the abuse has turned into threatening to report each other. Where before new players would be called shit. Now the

Its interesting. When the US + UK went into Iraq looking for WMD's I imagined they were after something more menacing than something a kid knocked up in his apartment. If that is a WMD then what classification do we give the bombs that leve

Is Twitter even a platform any more? They are going out of their way to limit and prevent 3rd party app's so they can distil down what Twitter is.. a status update service. Beyond using Twitter for authentication I don't see why you would w

What goes up... The past couple of weeks has shown how easily the bitcoin market can be manipulated. People used to do this with shares. Buy up all the shares to push the price up. Then get out with a profit crashing the value of the share.

If anything he should be angry at his accountant. I assume he has one if he has 800k. How many wake up calls does someone need. In the UK when banks were failing, before there was a solution the Government said they would guarantee the firs

I don't think complete disconnection is important. What is important is what you are doing while you are connected during your personal time. I used to have a hard time getting away from work. Now I don't check emails and I avoid programmin

As far as I can tell WordPress is stuck. Its success is largely down to the number of theme's and plugins it currently has. You can build pretty much any basic functionality by just installing the plugin's for it. A rewrite would probably b
