No only have we - I'm self-taught. That being the case, I found it extremely useful getting my university degree online, whilst already working. I just found that without the years of experience - the degree opened more doors. So even

I'm happy to agree with you. Equally I feel that with a (small) amount of love, it could be used by whistleblowers! To me it's almost ready for that.

There's this hard tradeoff that most people are willing to make, between making things more 'secure' and making things useable by the general public. I just wish that attention would be paid to the security side of things. Ul

I couldn't agree more. I'm using ownCloud with InstandUpload to handle photo backup, and ownCloud itself for the DropBox equivalency. With Cal-DAV and Card-Dav enabled, owncloud let me disconnect from Google Contacts/Calenda

The problem is that this fight is only about a small, very small part of the equation. It's the entire Black Budget we need to see shut down. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/national/black-.

This is why you need to root your phone, for taking control of your permissions. I'm okay with running these things, but only once they're 'secured' within the ecosystem. First off, Permissions Manager. Only let applicat

If you're okay with it, I'd actually suggest buying a MacBook Air and running Linux on it. My experience in the rest of the "ultrabook" world is that they just weigh far too much. On the flip side, I'm also using a

I love this topic. It's been a sticking point with me for the last year. I'm currently on Wave - and have been for nearly three years. Prior to that I used FreshBooks exclusively, pretty much since their establishment. I've u

There are some things you can do, while you're searching - full disclosure of course, I do all these things. First off, get a high interest savings account (or several) from your bank(s). In Canada, ING Direct does decent things (thoug

Interesting - I'm the reverse. I was just mandated with a "thou shalt" a System76 (Galaga UltraPro) by a client. I really, really wasn't looking forward to it. Now, there are a bunch of things I hate like the trackpad si

Upon reading this, I immediately went to Bestbuy and Amazon (both .com and .ca, just for kicks) only to not find the product that "is available worldwide". Sadness.

First off, way to go with all of this. While I don't believe in "raising awareness" in general, I think this is the best way to keep this in the spotlight. There's one thing to keep in mind though. I don't think any

When my internet access went down last week, I decided to use it as an opportunity to try and get temporary, reusable internet access, anonymously. For me, it was a great experiment. But what have you done, or what could we have done differ

It's definitely an interesting case. There's a general problem online nowadays, of enabling people to host truly anonymous information - allowing them to be free to protest. Personally, I hope his/her posting sparks a convers

I'm missing something about these chargers. I love the idea, love them... but every device I have is in a case. So, I guess we now need Qi powered cases :( ?

I'm very impressed by GitHub's response - what a prime example of how you should handle an intrusion attempt! 11/10 for style from an IT governance and disclosure point of view. They've successfully: identified the natur

I actually have a different workload. Rather than read it, and save for later, I add my links to Pocket first, then read from there. That lets me absorb far more possibility - then read when I feel like it. Plus, it makes the subway commute

This terrifies me. There's an instant problem of paranoia, and trust here. I would never be okay with the idea of an application monitoring what I'm doing, in order to reorder itself. Mind you, I say all this without knowing if
