Lenovo Thinkpads or Ideapads. Thinkpads have better battery life/build quality, but Ideapads have better specs for the price.

I feel like Mountain Lion will push devs away from Apple. At least, that's what's happening to me.

Just saying, Tent is great. Good community, great third party developer support, and though for now it's just a Rails app you can run on your server, it's going to be something more abstract like IRC. The co-founders also really know their

If tech were really like that, maybe Tent and Spideroak would be more popular. If only.

The latter. I actually go on reddit, though I dislike much of it. Ironically, now I've been downvoted like crazy, but I did say something cruel.

Insulting the Reddit community on HN? We can finally do it without being downvoted? That's somewhat pleasing.

Yeah I agree. But I'm not a big fan of having programming revolve around the "big guys." My two cynical cents.

.is is good though.

The only good thing about not using .com is that the US government doesn't control it (or so I've heard).

https://html5test.com/results/desktop.html Why does Firefox do so poorly? ;_; Mozilla is such a good organization (but to be fair can only survive with Google).

I'm not sure if there's anything to get me to like Apple again. I believe the best company in tech right now is Mozilla and to a certain extent, the FSF. Google is okay. I used to think Apple really made the best products in the world, and

Somewhat unrelated, but I can get why people use Spideroak as opposed to Dropbox, the encryption/security features.

StartPage.com is nice too. Others here, including me, do not like what Google does much of the time either. But I do respect Go, Android, and Gmail. The other stuff, not as much.

LimeChat does. Previews images and Youtube videos, also Adium has a plugin for Youtube. I have too much free time.

It's creating a Google monopoly over the web. Chrome's not open source. Chrome has light to moderate tracking issues. Developers are starting to only support one or two browsers (talking about websites not extensions) , which I think is ab

This supports the only browser thats ruining the Internet. Oh well. It looks nice though.

The fact that it's OSS, addons, customization capability, JS engine, and mostly, privacy/security.

Firefox needs to become the most well-liked browser again, because it's the best and using it is for the Greater Good.

Actually high effort posts don't get upvotes because most redditors don't give a shit.
