Kudos on getting decent audio. Are you using a Rode Podcaster? I'd love to try one. I've had to unsubscribe to countless podcasts with decent content just because they didn't invest the £100-200 on a decent microphone & pop filter. As y

Ha, well no. But clearly it's meant to emulate an Apple SKU. Yet another way it's using all the look and feel of an Apple item purchase to confuse the seller. I think the problem is that even if the buyer is aware that orders may be fulfill

I had this too when I bought an iPad Smart Cover. The price is really the only way you could know it was a knock-off product: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004TEPN8M/ref=oh_o00_s00... Fortunately I just needed something cheap for a

I worked a tech company with a decent lawyer who needed to cross-check all the marketing newsletters and blog entries we posted related to the Winter Olympics. By the end we were using such convoluted terms that it rendered the entire exerc

I'm surprised the furore has suddenly taken place now. 'Pink slime' has been known about for some time. Indeed, I remember Jamie Oliver's TV show in the US where he actually poured ammonia over meat that had been through a washing machine -

Especially if he came up with it himself. It's the sort of thing only a child's brain would think of and an adult would say "Oh! Of course!"

Sure they would. But if a company has a complimentary quote from a reputable source then I'm more likely to find it credible than one without.

What is supposed to be being ditched here? If it's the pitching to/grooming of tech blogs, then companies themselves will decide what's effective for them. Number of referrals is surely just one measure. Credibility ("as featured on TechCru

It's not so much clever PR as it is common sense. If there's a potential problem on the horizon, nip it in the bud. Facebook isn't really in the PR game - there have been enough catastrophes for that theory to be blitzed. This was simply so

I now use Twitter Bootstrap as the starting point for all my projects, but not in the way many folk are. The LESS files are a goldmine for me. Pre-made mixins, cross-browser support, responsive media queries, color functions For me the LESS

From what I see, the Samwer brothers don't have great execution. They copy a site, claim a userbase in Germany/Europe, then sell the site back to the people they imitated. It reeks of "go away" money.

I swear by Sennheiser CX-300s - they are cheap, easily replaceable and work very well for my non-discerning ears. Plenty of bass (compared to Apple earbuds at the very least) and shut out all exterior noise to the point of being dangerously

Once you start using mixins, you'll never go back. Add a clearfix, IE hack or a cross-browser CSS3 property at the drop of a hat, over and over again. I also find that just due to the nature of the nesting, I'm writing much tidier CSS as a

It'd be great if/when these projects start turning into fully fledged apps, that perhaps just require to connect with Dropbox.

It's interesting that you mention that "it breaks the web with a non-standard behavior". Anytime I have to scroll horizontally in a browser, it feels awkward and non-standard (especially if I have to scroll horizontal AND vertical). Whilst

Except there are no customers. It's a new product, and if you want to use it then you'll need an up to date browser. No-one is being cut off.

Wanting to get email to "work" is a noble effort, but that means different things to different people. A more intuitive user interface will sadly not magically transform email into something usable. Receiving fewer emails, might.

The Samwer Brothers seemed to have made a fortune from "go away" money. I don't think they ever really have an intention of running these sites for a time.

It's amazing to think how ubiquitous MSN Messenger was as a teen growing up, and how its use seemed to evaporate overnight with the coming of social networks and cheap text messaging. Funny to me how asynchronous messaging seems to be more

This was on BBC news the other day. Apparently eating well, drinking in moderation, not smoking and regular exercise reduce the risk of cancer. When interviewed, man hiding under rock expressed surprise and gratitude for the update.

Whether or not these conclusions are accurate, Groupon at least in the UK does appear to be very fishy. The sheer number of "business consultants" (read: graduates doing sales) they are listing jobs for ( http://jobs.groupon.co.uk/ ) is sta

Commendable effort, but the camera, microphone, lighting, beer, coffee and time certainly don't cost $5.

Minimal and fantastic. I could absolutely imagine getting one of these for my grandparents, for example. Or a parent with young children. Or a local shop owner that doesn't use a smartphone.
