Yeah the categories are labels however they still have the folder system as the primary way of sorting your mail. I would like the option to totally remove folders from the equation and just use labels.

It isn't really a new approach to [web]mail it is just a redesigned Hotmail that looks like Office 2013 and works better with touch devices. Also I wish Microsoft would ditch the whole folder approach to mail. Labels can work just like fold

Interestingly out of the dozens of people I have worked closely with over the past decade the best workers have been the self taught (degree or no degree). I have had the misfortune of making quite a few mistakes of hiring "excellent" post-

That wedge mouse looks awful. Horrific memories of the Apple puck mouse coming back. The first keyboard looks like the cheap £5 keyboards you can get on ebay. The second one doesn't look so bad but still nothing amazing. Pretty "meh" line u

Agreed the article is pointless. They basically say stick with your current version of Windows, switch to Linux or switch to Mac or go totally crazy and switch to "the cloud" (Chromebook) or buy a tablet. Wow genius needed to write this art

Honestly I don't really see how it is hard to use on a desktop/laptop? Sure it is different and a little bit odd at first but basically all they have changed is the start menu, something which I hardly ever use these days. The 80% of appl

Quite funny but I feel for the guy. I lost my voice an hour before a meeting with upper management a few years ago. Thankfully they were all quite understanding and accepted the written report and me answering any questions they had with wr

I wonder how much people spend on firmarms, learning how to use them, ammunition, guns safes, etc. ? I saw a news report that the number of people applying for a gun license in Aurora after the shootings at the cinema went up quite a bit. T

In the UK it is quite easy (and free obviously, NHS and all that) to get somebody seen by a mental health professional. I have suffered from several mental health problems over the past 3½ years and the only reason I am here today replying

I often wonder if Apple knew Google were working on their owner WebKit based browser? Safari was pretty pointless with the release of Chrome IMHO. It was never a very exciting browser.

Why would it be sad to say goodbye to Nokia? Companies come and go and all of Nokia's problems today are of their own making. Sure they made some nice phones 6+ years ago but they could have easily of competed with Apple, hell Google manage

And this is exactly why there will be several hundred thousand downloads of the premier within the next few days from torrent sites and the like. I wish I could give AMC money directly to watch this show tonight (or tomorrow) legally but it

The TDM GCC installer [1] is great on Windows as it deals with updating the path and even makes a nice shortcut in the start menu. I know a few people who began programming with C (or C++) using TDM-GCC and after a couple of questions askin

I think it would be helpful if you posted what this actually does. A short description or a screenshot would be great. I, and I assume a lot of the HN crowd, am not all that keen on randomly entering things when we have no idea what it does

We already have audio watermarking with Cineva which stops mutes playback on devices such as the PS3. Obviously the media player needs to implement detection of Cineva and then block playback (or audio in the case of Cineva which I believe

I still find Google to have much better results than Bing for complicated search, such as a brain dump of a few things about the subject such as a person or film rather than a more structured search.

Android may have a bigger install base but they also seem to have a much bigger group of "low power users". These are the people such as my step-dad and some of their friends who bought a cheap Android phone as it was the same price as a ol

I am currently battling depression and this video brought me to tears. I had never heard of Oh, the Places You'll Go before this blog post but, to me, it is already a mini-masterpiece. Thank you for linking to this video.
