Yep it's quite clever for searching for things, much less useful for doing something based on the recognized text.

Oh yes I remember these. A family friend bought one to run his business on, clearly happy that he'd got a bargain. It was a piece of shit and he was forever running into compatibility problems with software.

I use Roundcube for webmail, which auto-collects outgoing addresses in an address book (and you can obviously manually add addresses as well). I have a script that periodically exports the address book for each user and uses that as a post-

"personal reality building" is the greatest quote in this whole thread, it's perfect. Will be using.

I've never been able to understand why mail apps insist on the word Compose. Is it an American thing? I've never wanted to compose a piece of text, and never heard the word used in that way.

The Newton came out in 1993, so the iPhone would be "like a Newton but you don't need the stylus and they got rid of the handwriting stuff"

McDonalds ran a lot of stuff on SCO Unix, those references are pretty easy to find because they're all through SCO's marketing materials.

I used this to lose a decent amount of weight a few years ago, it was a good read and quite motivating. Unfortunately I then got back into homebrewing, increased my craft beer consumption, and most of it came back. It's good to know wh

S02E01 of Coast has a visit to that area, if you can't visit it yourself. Great show. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coast_(TV_series)

...tanatahu. Not sure why the whole name isn't in the title but there's a bit more to it!

Not even that, it looks like a binary of Skype was included in the repo according to the takedown notice.

Yup, Mac OS 7.5 had speech commands, my colleague named his machine "Oi!" and I would routinely shout "Oi! Shut down!" as I left the office. Never got old.

I've never used the Apple one, but Pocket Casts is the only app I've ever paid for on four platforms (Android, iOS, Windows Phone and the web player) and not regretted it at all. It's a gem.

You have to click into the Sourcetree window for changes to show up. It updates instantly for me when I do that.

That landing page probably needs to include a line or two about the technology - if you go straight there and have never heard of Anvil it's completely opaque as to how the app will be built.

That was very bad, yep. Also the trouble they've run into in Asia Pacific which caused huge losses - they were counting revenue before it was earned and also signing government/school clients up on long term high cost leases. They

The purity laws that never mentioned yeast as one of the possible ingredients? They have their own issues.

This is one of my favourite ever Wired articles. I remember reading it in the mag originally, and printing it several years later to read again - it was something like 53 pages?

Assuming it's built as well as their mice, I'm not buying one.

Authorware used to be good for teaching the basics in a flowchart format, but it looks like it's disappeared into Adobe now.

Yup, exactly.

One thing not mentioned in the article is the size of the area and the population. I have no idea how big Cincinatti is or how many people live in those counties. So I don't know if those are big numbers or not.

Or just not watch. It's just TV. If it's too hard I'll go and do something else and not even miss it. That doesn't help the content creators long term if I'm no longer even interested in their product.

The Business one still looks like MSN Messenger of old, give or take. Unfortunately it has a host of it's own small, annoying bugs. The first chat message of the day routinely appears above yesterday's messages so you don't s

That works for me, but then leads to me telling a friend/relative to get the software and them managing to screw up their machines by doing what they think I told them to do.

Yep, the only time I've ever managed to install malware was trying to put a very ordinary Minecraft mod on for my kid. How to feel stupid in one easy move.

4.5 years out of an iPad though, is completely doable. I've given up on my iPad 2 because it's too slow now, but other than that it's absolutely fine.

Yep it seems to be, it indexes every possibility that the handwriting might be so that if you search for it then it comes up. You can see this if you dig through the XML it exports.
