I used to work 7 days a week. Pretty much every hour was at a computer or laptop. My partner wasn't happy and looking back I wasn't particularly happy either. To correct that I set specific work hours and chose not to work weekends. Obvious

I would prefer it if you could collapse comments. Often the top comment has like 40 replies which makes it difficult to spot the next top level comment.

I don't really understand the difference between WebKit and Chromium. Is Chromium the browser implementation using WebKit? I reported a bug to Chromium last year which was to do with using screen.availHeight in Windows. The value returned i

I think it is obvious that WebKit has won and by a margin when it comes to browser engines. For Opera it is the best move for them. They can now focus the majority of their development time on making the browser great instead of putting a d

Aha! We have our niche. The perfect service for people with bitcoins, who want Pizza, who do not have any cash or any means of converting bitcoins into cash (bank accounts). I suppose it has a novelty value. Its also a middle finger to anyo

Who would know? At least on the UK version of the website you can pay with cash on arrival. This would remove any credit trial. Even without a credit trial Dominos would have a record of a pizza being delivered to your address.

Looks good. Shame there is no mention of Android at all. The biggest thing I took away from this blog post was this. "NOTE: Basecamp for iPhone requires an account on the new Basecamp (released March 2012). Basecamp Classic is not supported

This. I remember a phone call a while ago. My mother had taken her iPad to a hotel and "the Internet wasn't working." I spent 5 minutes trying to get her to identify which is the url bar and which is the search bar in Safari. In the end I g

Does the Graph API allow you to find all app's being used by a specific person? This topic keeps coming up. If you can see all app's installed by someone then you might have the point. If you can't then an employer would need to search for

My parents are not tech savvy. However, they do know to 'Google' it. While they may not know how to change the home page it doesn't matter what device they are on. They go to Google to search. Even if that means finding Google through Bing.

As someone who doesn't own quantities of gold and doesn't travel around the world much the true price of anything for me is GBP. I think a lot of people would think the true price of something is that of their local currency. I don't know w

GBP... The price of a Domino's pizza hasn't changed in the last 6 month's in my area. With this site the price could feasibly change several times in a single day.

Is this a design problem with the Tesla? With my petrol car I know when the car is completely filled with fuel. It is obvious in Tesla? Pure speculation. This could be a UI problem. The journalist thought the car was charged and ready to go

People are talking about getting a warrant. Would police go to so much bother for such a low value device? Especially considering how the new owner of the device probably brought it off the thief at a market or something. It is unlikely the

I have heard a number of times about how great Gabe is for bringing Steam to Linux. Isn't it just the case that the only reason Steam is on Linux is because Valve are making a console? Would Steam for Linux really exist without this console

The people who maintain this are volunteers right? If so there shouldn't be too much blame. There isn't enough information. I would have thought sometime between June and January someone would have looked to see if back ups were being made

Can't Linux users already use Office360? I was under the impression that Office360 was the future. That Microsoft was slowing moving their office software into the cloud? Supporting Linux seems pointless. Linux has a really small market sha
