If Apple used motion (or solar) to recharge the battery, people would complain (even more than they are currently) about the thickness of the device. It currently only just fits under the cuff, any thicker and it would be far too thick. In

Whilst a nice idea, I suspect you might have a hard time growing the community when people can just use Quora for the same thing. That said, a service (perhaps this exists) where I can give you an idea and pay you a bit of money and in retu

You haven't posted the real domain so I can't check but try pinging the clone's domain and make sure it isn't pointing to your server's IP. It may just be a domain that belonged to the previous owner of your server&

The Surface is a strange one, seeing as it is both a PC and a mobile device in one. There are upsides - as you've mentioned - but downsides too. I suspect my parents might not be quite as comfortable using a Surface than they are with

My parents both fairly recently bought iPads. Previously they used a Windows laptop and an Ubuntu desktop - both far more powerful and giving far more control. Or at least that's one way of looking at it. Their iPads may have limits on

You're right - I should have pointed out that it was only a tangentially related thought. Something I think about whenever I boot up an instance.

I wish DigitalOcean would have one or two instances of each type (perhaps only the most popular distros, to avoid having too many unused instances sitting around) so that creating a new VPS is instant. Of course, some of the time - when mul

Looks very nice, although I'd like to see one in person. It's a shame it isn't mechanical however, or at least that there isn't a mechanical option - especially as there are lots of good quality, affordable Japanese mech

Hm, that form is perfectly fine. I wonder if it changed (the problem I had was about a year ago) or whether it was a different site I used (e.g. a UK site) or something. I was definitely only asked for dimensional weight. Thanks for looking

by kaolinite 11y ago
Oh it totally makes sense - the thing that surprised me was how it was called weight on the form, so I just copied the weight across from the parcel I had received. I'm sure it was partially user error, but UPS could certainly have don

Has anyone else been hit, when sending items via UPS, by UPS's "weight" calculation? I purchased a pair of shoes that I needed to return, going back to Italy, and I received a quote from UPS - having entered the weight on the

I have no idea how they compare but the open-source databases has proprietary database tools too, such as Navicat, which have auto-complete, a good UI (Navicat is hardly beautiful but it works well), etc. There are a few other options too.

Whilst the search results are generally quite good, Google is often far better for highly specific or technical queries. Google also shows genuine intelligence and understanding at times whereas I find that DuckDuckGo does not. One big prob

I recently started working as a contractor (just for a few months to bring some cash in so I can continue to work on my business). As I have a business already, I was considering doing the contracting under the business to reduce liability.

Honestly no idea. I'd imagine that's just in case they change their mind? The email itself was very poorly thought through (and is honestly quite arrogant).

It isn't, but I seem to recall it being mentioned either in the keynote or in the reporting after WWDC. Update: https://developer.apple.com/news-publisher/ > Monetization is made simple with iAd, Apple’s advert

If you enable adverts next to your content, you get a cut of the profits (presumably 70%). By default, there are no adverts. (Updated the comment to remove uncertainty now that I have a citation: https://developer.apple.com/

With the launch of watchOS 2, developers are able to use voice input and the digital crown. Don't think they have access to the button.

You can switch tabs in Safari using Ctrl + Tab (and Ctrl + Shift + Tab to go backwards).

You wouldn't want to do that in Things (it's a todo app) - you're most likely not going past next month, at the most. You're right though - this wouldn't be a good replacement calendar picker for every app.

As the author of a fairly popular manual viewer for iOS[1], I was shocked when building the documents at the state of the tools and the availability of documentation for man. You would think that such a widely used command would have tonnes

Best example I have is the whole navigation structure (this is on iPhone). Let's say you were listening to a playlist and then you went into an artist, maybe a related artist from there and played a song (basically, you've gone pr

I'm only talking about renting, not sure what it's like when buying, so I'm talking about quality of appliances, care taken when painting (often places have obvious paint marks where scuffs have been painted over) and the ove

Hadn't heard of MOG, although I had heard of Beats Music, but unfortunately neither were available in the UK.

Something that has always annoyed me in my local area is that, when renting, the cost of an apartment is relative to its size, not to its quality. So you could have an apartment that is twice the cost, twice the size, but still has the same

I was very excited to try Clementine after spotting this, but having done so, I'm afraid I'd recommend using the Spotify client over this. Unfortunately, the UI is dreadful and it misses integration with some more recent additions

Ping was a complete failure but apart from that, what else? iTunes was their only other attempt in the "war" and it absolutely dominated. Regarding reach, inventory and ecosystem - I think Spotify should be very worried by Apple.

My partner found his first job through Who Is Hiring working at an American firm (we're based in the UK). He's on considerably more money than he would be if he were working locally. I'm envious that his first job was so good
