Wow! What an innovation. I would never have thought of doing this. Its a shame I won't be able to do this myself now. Hang on? Isn't everyone already doing this for just about every other online venture? Someone registered via Facebook -&#6

I think it is a fair summation of the article. I mean really. What is actually new? Very little is the answer. Apple have bumped up the specs... everyone does after a year or two. That is really about it. Its a hardware upgrade. Well. A har

This stuff all bugs me. On my 4 year old Mac sometimes app's just won't start. They bounce once then exit. The only fix is to restart. No idea why. Been happening for years. In Firefox on Windows. I write a bad bit of JavaScript and the bro

What I find amusing is that Apple has almost certainly just raised the profile of a.pl and given them a boost. In the UK online food delivery is very competitive and businesses like this come and go fairly frequently. As soon as supermarket

We are straying a bit off topic here. I don't think any country has been stable for a "few" hundred years. A few is 3. This is before the US was founded. I would say a stable country is one which has had a legit democracy for 70 or so years

This was my first thought. Flicking through the rest of the site though it doesn't look bad. Surprising number of members from Iran. I do feel the home page needs to change. Why not rotate the image and show a random community member. This

I drink on the job from time to time. The programming I am required to do is rarely challenging, its maintaining and expanding a system I know inside and out. Sometimes it reaches lunch time, I have some dull task to finish, motivation is l

Pretty sure you wouldn't send armed police to arrest a kid who infringed copyright. Certain you wouldn't pistol whip an unarmed kid while he is sitting in his chair. I was expect a hard hitting short video showing the facts about the effect

I don't think there is anything wrong with this documentation. I am sure Samsung has hundreds of other documents for other devices. A good company looks at the competition and takes apart what they are doing right and wrong. Its what the co

Question: Yesterday I saw you in Starbucks and heard you say "put it on John's tab". Today I see you are 2 behind me in the queue. What stops me from strolling up to the counter, big grin and saying... Put it on John's tab please? Wouldn't

Anyone know what the end product for something like this would cost? Seems to me like this won't make it into popular use. At least not for a long time simply due to the cost of installation and upkeep. I find that it is very rare that I fi

Firstly.. I doubt anyone saw "Scrolls" and thought "The Elder Scrolls". Hell, when I think "Skyrim" I don't think "The Elder Scrolls." Patents should protect against idea theft. I would like Patents to be like math. If you show all your wor

The output isn't good enough to use straight up and I don't think it ever will be. Tools like this, which can create good mark up, have a lot of potential to speed up the coding process. If these tools can get the developer 80% there then i

I don't think Microsoft know what they doing. All cloud storage providers need a policy similar to what Microsoft have. They cannot have pirated content, child porn etc on their servers. This rule should be strictly enforced on public folde

If this is true doesn't it mean that Bin Laden won the war on terror? Every time I go to the airport I think this. Those full body scanners? Thanks to Bin Laden, now you practically get strip searched for every flight. You have to take off

Its a great coup for Yahoo. I think Yahoo's problem is the fact that its search side of things has collapsed. Primarily it was this that made the company so big. Now that search has effectively collapsed they don't appear to have a core pro

Most of my friends and younger brothers friends have used eBay to sell second hand stuff and buy tickets for various events. I have never heard of Etsy. I am not a great fan of ebay but if you want to shift something second hand its pretty

I understand that. I don't understand why announcements of this significance are done like this. Its like NASA landing on the moon without video and presenting geology findings based on the rocks. Sod that. The people want to see VIDEO! The

I get what you are saying, I didn't add this to be taken seriously. I am not bothered if I am taken seriously or not. I had an opinion which I couldn't keep to myself. Upvote / downvote / flag and ban the account. I am not massively bothere

Sorry Jeff. The only thing broken with PHP is you (and other people like you). How much PHP do you use Jeff? Lets assume none. How is PHP hurting you? I mean seriously, how much contact do you even have with PHP? PHP is easy to learn, easy

This is awesome. The thing that has put me off the standing desk is the cost. I sit too much. With such a small investment it doesn't matter if it fails or not. Similarly such a small table can be easily discarded. I am getting the bits lat

Is Heroku still in beta? The name has been around for a while. I would have thought the platform would have stabilized and complete outages were very unlikely. In the past 30 days they have had 2 outages which have lasted more than 2 hours.

Flame sounds awesome. I am always fascinated by clever bits of kit like this. I read a piece about conficker a while ago. I thought it was super cool that it patched the security vulnerability on infected conputers to protect itself. Its ju

Windows 8 looks great for phones, tablets and hell the XBOX doesn't look too bad either. However... PC's need productivity. The current way Windows 7 works provides that just fine. It is easy to find and launch programs. You can open up man

Wasn't the US all up in arms about how China was increasingly using cyber-warfare on both foreign government and corporate interests? Then it turns out they are doing it themselves? Tut Tut. Though not really surprising. I do feel though th

The negative connotations of the word 'Collusion' puts me off before I even see it. Looking at it. No one appears to be writing with their hand resting on the iPad. Their hand is either floating or off to the side. Is this because writing i

I have no opinion on what is happening to Assange. I don't know enough facts. I find it unlikely that there is a big conspiracy involving America though. I find it somewhat ridiculous the number of appeals you can have. Assange lost on the

The funding model for this project is silly. So for $50 you get a license for this product. What does it cost to generate a license key or send someone an executable? Near zero? They keep like $49.98 at this tier. For $30 you get a t-shirt.
