A colleague of mine tried Vivaldi 1.5 years ago, while he liked the split screen feature he found it way too slow and it had serious lagging issues from time to time. Much can happen in 1.5 years and I don't know if they were using V8

If something is cheap in terms of the price you pay for it, you're going to pay by something else. Be it poor quality components, information collection or unethical manufacturing processes. Yes, of course I am generalizing. There are

This, minus the kids. As much as I hate vaccuuming I'd love to have a roomba, but the hassle of roomba proofing the house is way too great. I live in a rather farmlike environment so the dirt in my house can range from the tiniest dust

I'm not a parent, but if life has taught me anything is that time invested now is time saved in the future. Also, it's not only children who mess up a learning process. Anyone who's learning will make mistakes and probably br

I think it's funny that now when Apple happened to make a truly awful keyboard, basically everyone is raging. But PC makers has been building terrible keyboards for years and no one seems to give a damn. Or is everyone just assuming th

I've always felt like, in situations where I earn less than the people I'm talking to, that I'm earning less than them simply because I'm not worth to earn more. This feeling occurs especially when talking to people with

Yeah, I should have been more clear in my previous comment about that. But I just think it's strange logic. Like, no one is using 'Android' referring to any smartphone, or 'Toyota' when talking about cars, just beca
