Are there any indications on what "for a limited time" means? Is there a term for which Amazon has promised to provide this service for free? Once the unlimited storage is no longer offered, will the existing files in the cloud be 'grandfat

There are some serious problems with their Picasa export (possibly others, I only tried Picasa). First, a good number of my photos simply didn't download - I only got 1328 of my 2283 photos. Second, I uploaded all my photos at their native

I don't consider $3.88/month to be "making money with Android". Granted, it's only the first month, but if this was on the iOS App Store at $0.99 he'd only have to sell 6 copies to make that same amount of money (18 if he wanted to offset

I'm surprised at his choice of location - Singapore is quite a nanny state, and the punishments are sometimes quite severe. "Singapore society is highly regulated through the criminalization of many activities which are considered as fairl

SearchYC was also more fully featured, with lists of top users based on points per submission, points per comment, etc. - at least until pg removed comment points from the site.

It's a bit late to be giving Apple advice on iOS 5, considering it's going to be announced in 2 days.

The UI isn't exceptionally pretty, but once it's configured you don't have to look at it much. There are a few changes I'd like to make (being able to scan another doc while the OCR is running, preventing the scan progress window from remai

I scan them but I do keep the files is paper form that I'm required to. However, I only have very few files like that, and they're easy to store and manage.

I bought a Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300 a few months ago and I love it. It's a document scanner that scans both sides of the page as it goes through, and the desktop software runs OCR and converts the document into a multiple-page searchable PD

A few months ago I discovered a curious book on my doorstep. To my shock, it contained names, address, and phone numbers of thousands of people in my area. I suspect that many other people, including criminals and certain types of marketeer

That's all Wordle. I did tweak the settings so it would look good (not sure why the defaults look so bad). The colors themselves don't mean anything, they just make the resulting cloud look good.

A few years ago I made a similar word cloud of his essays using Wordle: http://i.imgur.com/akCnD.png I've often thought it would make a good shirt or book cover.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Dropbox yet - for me, it's certainly the most useful online service I pay for.

I can understand Google's reason for making and promoting WebM, but is there really a need for another image format? Yes, it may be X% smaller than JPEG for the same image quality, but does that really matter? Compared with video, the bandw

I know this will probably sound heretical, but I think that there's no such thing as an "unfair advantage". If we really wanted to see technical innovation in F1, there would be virtually no restrictions on the cars - just some basic safety

I think the Achilles Heel for .NET is Windows - the only way using .NET to develop makes any sense is to use Visual Studio, and to use Visual Studio, you need to use Windows. And that's a hard sell for a lot of people - most people in the s

I hope not - while megapixels alone aren't sufficient to produce a great photo, they are a necessary component. I don't mind if the industry pauses for a while to increase the image quality through other means, but eventually the pixel coun

This is a compelling idea, but how do users know whether or not they can trust your service? You would have access to all unencrypted internet traffic from your users while the app is active.

Those dialog boxes are a double edged sword. If I really like the app then I will go and leave a positive rating in the App Store (Tiny Wings is one example). On the other hand, there was one app that explicitly requested that I rate it 5 s

By and large I agree, but as I'm using Dropbox for more and more things, I really would like 2 small adjustments to existing features: 1. Allow me to sync any folder - i.e. don't require the creation of a "Dropbox" folder. 2. Modify Selecti

If you plug your iOS device into another computer it won't connect to iTunes until you unlock the device. Whether that is enforced by the phone or iTunes I don't know.
