So if I want to run this today and get the best experience, what phone should I buy?

Got you. Thanks for the thorough explanation, you've made an important distinction for me that the linked article did not.

What kinds of websites are doing this now? That seems like a really grotty thing to do to your readers.

Those big centralised choke points for information (Google, Facebook, Twitter et al) we could do without. I'd strongly favour a non-commercial distributed solution to those problems.

Did having the visibility of search keywords ever really help people "optimise" their page text for increased business? I am far from an expert in this, but wouldn't you only get to see the search queries of people who found

Ubuntu's not the only choice, though. Apple has a hard time matching the speed and flexibility of a lightweight GNU/Linux distro (presumably because OS X's focus on polish, integration and aesthetics means they want to tip th

If this discourages "marketers" from using the web it sounds like a win to me.

Anecdote: I've been running Debian Stable on a Macbook Air I bought in 2011 since then, it's been great (and doubly great since Wheezy, the support is basically 100%).

I'm pretty sure sometime shortly after buying this machine I was able to install a "firmware update" from a USB-booted OS X install, but don't quote me on that :) I'm somewhat unfamiliar with Apple's software g

It looks like I just squeezed in - I bought this machine in July 2012, but it's the older model without USB 3.

Thanks! I'll have to take the original poster's word for it I guess :)

OK, so I've got a "TS064C". Now where do I find a useful list of which models are actually broken?

Can someone tell me how I can determine if my machine is affected if I don't have an OS X install? I've only got Debian available.

It would be good to be able to edit the To: field without having to clear it entirely and start over. Furthermore, pressing Tab after entering an e-mail address in the To: field causes it to be cleared. Also, the bubble number indicator to

Good on you for making an effort and thanks for the tip about Apple Mail. If only this was more widely known and/or available on iOS. A viable text/plain part is extremely important - it means my MUA ( http://sylpheed.sr

When someone sends me an e-mail, I want to read the message they've sent. I don't want their idiotic decision to render it in unreadable tiny blue lettering to factor in to this. I don't need a half-megabyte PNG showing me wh

This site seems kind of... low on content? Am I missing something?

This article is kind of daft. "Decentralised" doesn't necessarily mean strictly peer to peer, it can mean "write native code, release it under an open license, design protocols to federate". This way you're not
