It will work to send a fax to a US number from another country, right? I only need to send 2-3 faxes a year, and currently do it from a dial-up modem on an ancient computer over my US VoIP line that I have overseas. I very rarely need to re

Amazing. I just looked over MA's health care info, and it's much more affordable (and covers much more) than the average insurance plan in other states. Congress, THIS is what we need for all of America (or something that's at least that le

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Someone needed to say it! And the funny thing is, Singapore and Japan both are rather well-off nations, not much different wage and price wise than the US. Biggest difference is medical cost...

The Next Web has been pushing out some really high quality content lately. Highly recommended.

Actually, if you look in the Safari 5 credits, you'll find reference to the original Readability script. Here's the official Readability (arc90) blog post about it: http://blog.arc90.com/2010/06/10/why-we-built-readability/

It's a strong second place then if it's not the first. Good thing is, Apple backed down on that which is why I was just today trying out Airplay SDK on Windows. Hopefully they'll back down on the subscriptions plan, too. That said, it reall

If the subscriptions policy isn't the absolutely craziest move Apple's ever made, I don't know what is. iOS has converted me into an Apple fan, but not if stuff like this continues.

Another thing that's better about reading on iPad versus a laptop or desktop LCD screen is that you can hold it almost any angle. To me, that's the best advantage. I read and write a lot on my iPad, and being able to sit with it at a more c

Interesting that religion.com is not launched. Does anyone know what happened to his content plans? Sounds like an ideal marketer for content farms to me. Seriously, both domainers and content farms are absolutely trashing the internet toda

I think the biggest reason here might be that most Verizon customers who wanted to switch to iPhone without switching networks purchased an iPod touch to get iOS without switching networks. If so, they simply transfered the apps they'd alre

I've gotten some of the least techie people I know using Dropbox. It's surprisingly one of the few new tech products that's really just caught on with computer users of almost every skill level and sophistication.

The way I read it, this would only concern Amazon with the Kindle app if it had newspaper/magazine subscriptions in Kindle for iOS. Currently it doesn't, so I don't think it's a problem. That said, IANAL...

Is there anywhere online to watch it? I'd even be willing to pay for it on iTunes, but doesn't look like it's there. FYI I'm in Thailand and do not have cable/satellite since the 'net works for almost everything else

Speaking of which, does anyone know of a better app for blogging on iPad? If not, there's a great idea for any iOS Devs. Create a great one, and tons of us would be happy to pay the price of an iWork app or so for one!

Look for email address in HN profile ;) Seriously, though, in my case I'm currently a non-dev though I would like to be. I'm a college student (online...) and a freelance writer that does some web dev too. I think remote work has potential,

Another plug: Americans living overseas. There's a ton of us, and we speak English, have US bank accounts, and understand American culture. We're also likely to be back in the US every so often...

Nokia won't be able to ship Windows Phone 7 updates for existing Nokia smartphones, so everything will hinge on how many new Nokia WP7 devices they sell over the next year. If they don't start selling better, it's no net change...

I'd be interested to know exactly how much revenue Dropbox has at the moment. I know they have plenty of paying customers, including many of us here, but there's an order of magnitude more customers with free accounts. Does anyone know how

Another thing is, since Readability's apps will be "powered by" Instapaper, Marco may make money from Readability subscriptions too. We of course don't know right now, but it is possible/likely.

by maguay 16y ago
Very good point there. And with the new Readability project, I'd expect he'd tie any required subscription in with a way to give back to the writers if he did require one. Still, he said the iOS apps are remaining free, so no problem there

It's not just webOS. We should also be seeing a lot more Android tablets this year, which of course is Linux based as well. There's Chrome OS also, again, hard to say, but it likely will be on a lot of devices before the end of 2011. Ubuntu

Thanks for responding! I do have a couple questions. What type of site are you running on your MediaTemple account? If just a standard website or blog, why MediaTemple over, say, Dreamhost? I would personally compare Dreamhost to a honda an

I just purchased iCab a bit ago, and am already impressed at how much smoother the tab-switching experience is in it than with Atomic or Terra. In my quick evaluation, Terra is the best free alternate browser for just smooth tabbed browsing
