In Jira you can't even read the issue because half of the screen is occupied with navs or borders. This is more or less how it looks on a full-screen Retina 15" Macbook Pro: http://pcgen.org/autobuilds/pcgen-d

I have to use Jira at work, and cannot tell you how much happier I'd be if we could move to Trello.

Yet somehow every Trello clone I've used has never been as fast, intuitive or as simple as Trello. You're either fighting against a poor UI, slow animations or in some cases visible reloads when dropping cards. If Trello is such a

I bought my Sublime Text 2 license in 2012. 5 years later and its the best $80 I've ever spent. I'm so pleased Jon finished 3.0. Subscription upgraded.

I've had the pain of trying to do this once before when my parents got a new email address. The Apple account was never consistent thereafter, with different devices showing either the new or old email address. We solved it once and fo

Apple Care doesn't help if the phone is lost or stolen. However, I'm quite sure that the risk of damaging or losing a phone is much greater than the risk of crashing a car (at least in the UK and Western Europe). Hence, the price

Kinda. The difference between this and twincharging is that the supercharger is spooled by a belt driven by the crankshaft rather than an electric motor. This means that the rotational speed of the turbine (and therefore boost pressure) is

Tesla are much more expensive in Europe. In fact, I could have an BMW M4 and a Golf R for the price of a mid-range Model S with some options - I know which two cars I'd rather have...

I was driving a Cupra 290 on the Nurburgring last week and I kept getting caught out by the kick-down feature on the DSG gearbox - even in Cupra (sport) mode. For example, I'd be exiting Breidscheid and the car would be in 4th instead

I'm quite excited about 48v because it means turbos can now be driven with an electric motor until there is sufficient pressure from exhaust gases to spool them, and thus, mark the end of turbo lag as we know it! The current model Audi

The more I get into cars the more I find 0-60 to be a poor metric for performance because it comes down to all wheel drive, traction (good OEM tires are a must) and short gearing. Power is important, but less so than the others. For evidenc

You'll find that it will cause the car to hold gears almost up to redline, which isn't great in traffic or when cruising. Whenever I drive an automatic, I ALWAYS use the paddle shifters and put the gearbox into manual mode so I ha

What you experience in the CLA250 is a combination of turbo lag and an electronic throttle optimizing for low fuel consumption. There should be an option where you can engage sport mode to increase the throttle response and also prevent the

I must be the exception here as I spend no more than an hour on my iPhone (6s) each day. I use Apple Music, WhatsApp, and the camera. However, WhatsApp is available on Android and the camera on the iPhone 6s still doesn't even come clo
