I'll take automatic updates IF there is an option to prompt before update. I get daily builds of Chrome (under Ubuntu) and 1 day there was an update that caused Chrome not to start up. After that day I don't blindly do updates if I really

Something about the colors (orange/gray) for the name makes it harder to read, though if it was just a single color it would actually be easier to understand (for me). Maybe the orange is too bright? NO facebook login please! I've noticed

The fact that Firefox sync is encrypted has convinced me to use them. Based on a youtube video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv_sq5zpN0M&t=1m45s ), they said the bookmarks are encrypted BEFORE it gets sent to their servers. This mea

I hope the addons also get updated for FF4. I upgraded to FF4, but I miss having the CS Lite addon. 'CS Lite' lets me manage cookie permissions for current site without having to go into the preference and go through the long process. Ver

In light of all the news on the Japanese nuclear power plants, I found this (below) radiation dose chart (from xcd) helpful. It does not seem like there's too much to be concerned about regarding radiation. They unfortunately have bigger

While the typical office workers averages 40hrs a week in the office, how many hours are they really productive? If they had to record only the hours that they're productive at tasks, would it come close to 40hrs?

Maybe you don't want a larger screen, but some people do. I've found the 4.3" screen on my HTC HD2 great for reading ebooks during my commute. Download free ebooks from Project Gutenberg in html format and read it in a browser. Can zoom a

Raphaeljs also has chart libraries. http://g.raphaeljs.com/ They're not perfect, but I think there's supposed to be an update soon. Highchart and others charting options are non-starters for me at this moment. Don't want to pay $300+ ri

That particular book is listed as being released on March 21 2011. Is there something I'm missing or are you recommending his earlier books on Algorithms in C?

It's around the same age as Java. According to wiki, both appeared in 1995.

There's moonlight, which is a Silverlight alternative for linux. I just installed it for Ubuntu. Painless to install. edit: You guys are right. Netflix doesn't work under linux. I just tried it under Ubuntu. No go. It's too bad since

The one benefit of Silverlight is that it's not as cpu intensive as Flash. It's nice because you can play it on an older pc/laptop. DRM isn't a big concern since you're not buying the movies. It is different from buying and downloading so

I wonder if Amazon Prime instant videos will also work for shared accounts. Prime allows for sharing the account with 4 family members. Will instant videos work for family members too? Netflix allows 7(?) devices that can be linked to an

I think besides requiring an exam to get entrance into the schools, it's a sense of pride that helps to push the students to excel. They're in that school because they're smart, so they work to uphold that image. In regular schools, I assu

It's indeed been a roller-coaster. 2/10 morning - He's going to step down. 2/10 evening - He's not stepping down. 2/11 morning - He's really stepping down. Hopefully the rest of the ride will be less bumpy and more pleasant.

I would suggest improving the visibility of your networks.co.id website a bit more. It's should also be in English if you are focusing on an American employer. Also maybe a landing page so we know what it's about and what makes it special

Some key elements of the speech. Not exact wording, but key phrases. "I announced that I will not be running in the next presidential elections." "I also announced that I will remain shouldering the responsibilities until September."

Reuters just said that president is not stepping down. He is just transferring power. Saw this on Al Jazeera, but no source/link yet.
