It would be awesome to just open a project on github & run it without downloading / installing. Great tool to tinker & learn. Add some profiling tools to the mix while you are at it. Imagine you are trying to decide between 2 d

All in line with Apple except for the price. Probably north of $299 else how would you stand out? They aren't willing to lower the prices on obsolete / commoditized items. No way they would price a premium, hot fashion+tech must-h

I'm glad the audit is moving on and I really hope Truecrypt 8 sees the light of the day. Back in October'13 when the funding link was posted, I remember feeling a sigh of relief. Thank you to all those who are contributing to this

Most of the article (on medium) is an unsubstantiated rant. Granted that the move from 2 to 3 has been much slower than what you see for major revisions but it was a _big_ overhaul. In hindsight, maybe the developers could have done somethi

The link that you posted is an excellent comparison BUT no evidence that "$30" is the right price point for a good charger. The iPhone charger has poor rating on current sag. The ipad charger has poor rating on voltage sag.

I knew someone was going to post that link. There's no price justification in that link other than saying $2 chargers are bad & so are $19 ones. So, does that mean $30 is the price point. Ofcourse not. You are missing the point. I&
