I have a cochlear implant and I've had several of these audio induction loop tidbits for my CI processor (hearing aid) for years. In my opinion, the wire is a PITA and attracts a lot of attention. This spring, Advanced Bionics is coming out

Interesting read, though I just have one minor complaint about your style of writing... Foot notes after every 3-5 paragraphs is somewhat jarring and hampers the flow of reading your story. I suggest moving all of the foot notes to the bott

Cool idea, but I don't like the comma between "new, newtab"... I get what you're trying to do here, but I feel like it's a huge glaring typo staring me in the face. I'm not well versed in English grammar rules, but I think it will be alrigh

Is this like Google Wave? I watched the video in the tour page and I'm still not exactly clear what it is.

I'm a huge fan of Phoenix Theme and Color Schemes. https://github.com/netatoo/phoenix-theme It's based off Soda Theme. Currently I'm using Tomorrow-Night Color Scheme, but I'm digging the Dark Green and Dark Blue too. You can also configu

Thanks for your article. I've been trying to jump into contributing to OSS projects for some times but I've been unable to figure out where to start. "Scratch your own itch" is probably the best way to start for someone like me.

I wonder where does Firefox for Android falls under, Firefox or mobile browsers? Although I don't know if it's significant, but when I last checked AppBrain, Firefox for Android had over 250,000 downloads.

I checked this out over a year ago and I couldn't go through with MIT OpenCourseWare classes because of lack of subtitles for many of their videos... But now I'm pleasantly surprised to see they added subtitle supports for Python classes! K

I'm a deaf person with some speech training. When I dream, I rarely use sign language. I often notice myself talking verbally more often and sometimes even use "telepathy" to communicate with other dream figures. I think these dreams that I

That's an interesting sidenote. I wonder if it's a subtle psychological trick to not associate red with negative connotations (such as "declining profits", "stop", "blood") because the color red is part of the CPC's identity makeup.Or maybe

In my case, it's about $20,000. $30,000 would enable you to live very comfortably while abroad, I would think. I work at a lowly data-entry night shift job which explains why I make abysmal wages, and also I'm paying for college for the nex

I'm doing the same. Have you read Life Nomadic? The guy who wrote it did exactly what you're aspiring to do and he seemed to do alright for himself. I'm building up my programming skills and saving up 2 year's worth of money (as well as pay
