That's not because of LICEcap, that's because of the nature of gifs. Gifs are a horrible format for longform motion. All Imgur or gyfcat do is convert it from a gif to a mp4. If you're worried about size, just use the mp4.

They probably spent less to buy the entire island of Hawaii 2 than it costs to buy the average house on Oahu or Maui. Bonus: I now own land on Maui, Hawaii 2, and Islay. Luckily two of these do not require taxes and one provides rent that c

Current estimates put any changes to the planets from our Sun to start about 1 billion years. While I'm a fan of long term thinking, that's a bit too long to enter into any equation about which planet to colonize first.

That's awesome that some companies are starting to be proactive about this. One further step would be to require parents to take this time off. There was a news report about how American employees didn't use much of their vacation

The depressing part is how "invisible" this extinction rate is to most people. It's happening just slowly enough to barely register in people's memories.

Ah, yes, very good point. I didn't mean to insinuate that Gmail was the first. Hotmail rocked when it came out and made me a happy customer when I could have a personal email address that wouldn't change. Gmail entered later in th

In 1996 I'd say most people got their email address through a large institution and had to change email addresses every time they changed institutions. For many that was their work or school email address. For the average folks that wa

So, in a nutshell the author thinks that the 'foodie' movement can't feed the world. Perhaps, but I'm not so sure. At its heart, the foodie movement is the complex jumble of things the author mentions. Politics, art, ide

The market is weird about laptops right now. Basically, it seems that Apple is the only one still making a profit off of them. Maybe PCs bet to heavily on netbooks?

One thing I find interesting is what design trends this redesign doesn't follow. For instance, the logo and search header could easily have been fixed to the top of the window as is so popular lately. All in all, the design seems solid

Ugh. I live on Maui and wish there was a better tech eco system on the island for many reasons. I often get the feeling that this sort of self-serving entrepreneurship seems somewhat standard on the island. Some of it is just the "smal
