Because browsers already optionally store passwords, adding the "password same" warning would be quite a welcome feature (or add-on), for me anyways (in mobile browsers too). I advocate the use of password managers, but they don't offer "

I have WiFi, 3D gyro/accelerometer, Bluetooth, SD card. I'd also like GPS, compass, 3G/4G, and NFC at a reasonable prices. We know what these chip(set(s)) are, and what they cost, and there's plenty of room in 7" tablets to leave stuffing o

Internet Archive now seeds torrents of all new content, at honkin' speeds. But weren't these files released in February? Or is this a new set?

As far as I can tell, Instacart works on phones only, not the web. Will there be a web UI? And it's iPhone only. Q: Where does Apple get its 30%? All in-app sales? Just the delivery charge? Will there be an Android version? If not, why not

I'd like the quoted text in the berekuk comment enabled as a tooltip on the uparrow, as a mouseover. I'll contribute $10 for somebody to add this feature. Where's the "tip" jar?

"Real" (heh) names don't improve comment quality. What improves comment quality is moderation (approve/decline/delete), enabled by default for every single user. I moderate when I answer the door, who I answer the phone for, who I hang out

WTF, people, just turn on Comment Moderation. This should be on by default, instead of requiring "real" (har) names.

Caution: simple blurring may be reversible, and YouTube admits that their process may not blur all faces. On the other hand, simple face blanking, blue-dotting, or a scramble-suit style superposition (from Philip K. Dick's _A Scanner Darkly

Tell you what, if I was stuck without _my_ laptop, but had access to a random web-connected computer, I'd pay for a day's worth of emergency access in a pinch, to crop/deblur/resolution-enhance/color-balance some photos for a deadline...

On the subject of conversion rates, the Download and Buy links are separate, with no mention of an unregistered trial or watermarked demo mode. That uncertainty might be affecting your tryout rate. If the "Download" button said "Try it!", t

At the risk of being Mr. Obvious, Postmates badly needs three things: 1. An Android app (I saw only the iOS app listed), with a direct download link, just for giggles. 2. A page on their website which replicates the app's functionality. I m
