I've decided I won't install the flash player plugin anymore. So it's neither on my home or work computer and I just have to use Chrome for some of the Youtube or Vimeo videos.

What do you do when you have all the computing performance anyone could ever possibly need, except for the freakish one-percenters, the video editors and programmers? I think he misses the point, when my computer will boot instantly and a

I was going to mention this post. I still think it was genuine and that he has "no idea of what he is doing" as he is saying. Otherwise if he had a true vision of his own business he wouldn't have sold, wouldn't he ?

The company has two separate sets of these tests; one does some conventional sanity checking on the code and the other simulates user interaction to make sure that the website's user interface behaves properly. Anyone know more about this

Rather amused that when meeting a friend he spent time checking in to the location rather than talking to the dude. I'm rather creeped out by this project. In almost all the situations presented he could have asked a freaking human instea

TiAMO’s decision to start a backup of the site is probably the most pivotal moment in the site’s history. I'm surprised to see that a backup might be considered an heroic move. If you don't have any backup you may as well consider your da

Email is just fine for me, I don't understand why people need to pretend they reinvent it every other week (social email, todo list email...). The only thing I'm missing is on the technical side, a transaction system like you describe. How

I prefer sitting cross-legged with a 13" laptop on a mat on the floor. Somehow that's almost how I prefer to work too, but it's sort of impossible to have this setup in a professional environment.

I was confused with this part. People actually open and close their mail client several times a day ? Is it just closing the window or full app quit ? For me and people I know, the mail client is the first app open after boot and it is alwa
