Science? Pfft. They just want to keep you locked-up inside your little box. The elite know all about the hollow-earth, there are aliens that live under our earths core, they have a small ball of magnetar they have transported there which po

Bittorrent Sync has the same problem, closed-sourced and only the businesses claims as to its security and 'truly private' sharing technology. Such a shame as I was really excited about Demonsaw, thought it was 'the one'

Subjectively most British adults are frighteningly passive to surveillance and seem oblivious to losing privacy rights, I would not want British people to create the Magna Carta of the internet! Disclaimer, I am British.

I'm hoping Chrome will drop their built-in flash runtime, only thing it's used for is ads.

I can also confirm this. AS well as local, I have set Titanium Backup to send an additional (encrypted) backup to a cloud storage service as well (in my case Google Drive). I have restored from Titanium Backup many times with different ROMS

Cool tech if it actually delivers on the promise, but I'm going to need more than just one of the founders word that the wine it produces is indistinguishable from that which costs $20 per bottle. The name they have chosen doesn't

Despite generally rock-solid performance and uptime, I had a bad experience with DO recently. After experiencing repeated hardware failures on a node (with lots of downtime), I followed the advise of their support and did a snapshot and des

I have this exact problem with a lot of extensions I would like to use, so I only actually use one that extension which I implicitly trust anyway, LastPass. Here's an example, I use both Mac and Linux but on Linux I would like to have

The only problems I have with KeePass are it is Windows-first (though I know there are third part native clients for Linux, OS X, Android etc) and that browser integration is not comparable to something like LastPass. I do want to get away

Excuse the friendly jibe but you might consider dropping Hostgator next! I really respect and find valuable the idea of OwnCloud, but I have heard so many horror stories about files being deleted, slow sync times and bug fixes being seconda

It amazes me that this type of social hack still works so successfully, I can understand Kevin Mitnick's success back when he was a hacker but surely the industry should have learnt by now. Resetting a users credentials should be treat

This should be a lesson not to manage your own passwords, use a password manager there are many to choose from. I was also caught up in the Adobe breach but my password was randomly generated by my password manager.

I know there alternatives but my problem is with the direction Google are taking Android and the fact they are abandoning existing open apps and replacing them with closed-source ones. More and more apps will not function either because the

I've already decided looking at 4.4 that I will do as much as possible to avoid Android for my next phone. I am interested in Jolla, but not as convinced about them being truly open as Mozilla is etc, they need to convince me better of

It's funny I used to get that screen to turn it into a plus account but I got annoyed with it and opted out, I guess I didn't appreciate it was a one time option. All I get now is a plain profile picker (which as I say defaults to

Tangentially related, my experience with the YouTube/Google plus social network merge has been pretty awful. I opted-out initially to integrate with Google plus, I couldn't have cared less so I just stuck with my original username

Pleasurable? Depends in what sense but in general and framed with the average user in mind I would agree with you there. I have been doing a self-experiment for the last few months to use FOSS app(lication)s as much as possible on my Note I

For about 2 months I have lived with almost no Google apps on my Android device, it has been crappy but I no longer trust them sadly. Looks like with 4.2 on this is going to be near impossible. I really want a decent open source, FOSS phone

That's probably true if they are running older versions of the kernel, which were not optimised for battery. If you install a recent kernel and load laptop-mode-tools I'm sure you might see different results, if not that is a stra

Anecdotal, but on an older 11" MacBook Air I have a dual-boot with elementary OS (Ubuntu derivative) and I get around 20-30% better battery life with Linux than OS X (using laptop-mode-tools etc). I think this is probably due to all th

Thanks and an interesting idea, I can see where you're coming from. I have tried it with a bolder font on the tar, it does hint more as to how to pronounce it. http://dev.bitmono.com/tarsnap/tarsnap-variation.png
