Next step, remove G+ from Youtube. More specifically, use G+ for authentication but bring back Youtube accounts. Alternatively maybe add a site/application specific alias option to G+. I don't want to have 2 G+ accounts (like I ha

That is true in my experience, sooner or later you are going to run into a silly driver related problem with linux. Right now I'm having problems with the integrated Intel soundcard in my laptop. Using Xubuntu 10.10/Fedora 16 ther

If you are using FF or Chrome you can just make your browser run a js script after loading a certain page. It's neat for small changes as you don't have to write a whole extension just a simple script.
