Perhaps the worst part is how few students who could truly use that financial aid simply don't apply to Ivy League schools since they think they'd never be able to pay for them. I didn't know this until long after starting co

Safari for Windows did as well, complete with confirmation dialogs that came out of the top toolbar like a receipt from an ATM and bubbly blue Ok buttons like OS X of its day. As a PC user who aspired to buy a Mac at the time, I happened

Exciting to now have Netflix officially in Asia (Thailand for me), though its catalogue is decidedly sparse. There's no BBC shows (so no Sherlock or Dr. Who), no AMC (so no Breaking Bad or Walking Dead), no CBS/ABC shows (so no Ho

Here's to hoping you bring Spark to the Mac ;) On PDF Expert, one feature I'd love to see would be an option to add links to sections of images in a PDF. That's the only thing I use Acrobat for, and it'd be incredible to

Today, a bookstore. Tomorrow, Amazon's the new Walmart/Tesco and everything's priced the same as Amazon.com. Either that, or this is a glitch in the Matrix and a digital store accidentally became real. Seriously though, the d

I hope they'll be around in 20 years. It's the internet's watercooler, and we'd be worse off without it. But that's the fear—that they'll mess up too much right now, and kill their 20 year prospects.

In Thailand, the default is "555" since the word five in Thai is pronounced "ha". Everyone in Thailand knows what it means, and the rest of the world must think we're crazy.

Agreed. That's one of the reasons I'm not able to use it as much as I'd like to. Basically only works perfect well for basic Markdown (and adding images with their GUI)—if you need any extra code or tweaks on Markdown, you&#x

Oddly enough, though, there's currently no Chromebooks in Thailand aside from greymarket imports. HP, Acer, none of the Chromebook partners officially sell them here. It'd be interesting to have any Chromebooks for sale in Thail

I'm cheating here a bit as well, since I work on the Zapier team, but some of my favorite use cases are ways my wife uses Zapier for her small business. Whenever an Ebay or Etsy sale comes in via PayPal, Zapier records the sale, along
