So you are basically saying that something is great without having worked with it on a production-grade project... Not saying React is a bad library, quite frankly it's the opposite, but your reasoning is surprising. In the future, avo

I don't think anobody stated that Firefox is the perfect browser. Each browser has its strenghs and weaknesses but I am more keen to accept flaws on a browser that's opened by nature: that's why I have always been using Firef

I don't think the N900 was the embodiment of the dream of what Nokia could have been without Elop, the N9/N950 were. Both were beautifully designed phones, with a unique and powerful operating system: swipe-based interaction, soci

I think Amazon Matchbook is a brillant idea. I love using my kindle when I am out and about, but prefer the paper format when home. I also enjoy the feeling of having a hard copy, that nobody can claim back, or put DRM on. When matchbook wi

I hope it is US only for now, as it found no eligible books in my case.

I don't understand how you can be unhappy about the performance of the few last versions of Firefox. It is now quite savy in memory (especially in comparison with Chrome) and handles everything I throw at it without noticeable janks.

Minified does sound interesting, especially in term of size, but what about the performance in comparison to jQuery? Also, in term of browser support, the range of browsers officially supported is quite small (plenty of mobile browsers&#x2F

School is free until high school in France, and university can be considered as free as well, because it is extremely cheap compared to the USA/Canada/UK for example, and because there is plenty of help to students with low resour

Should we encourage that as users, this quote war between Apple, Google, Microsoft and co? They just play the game of Apple fanboys in this particular case, and I find that immature and totally useless.

I am always fascinated by people sharing corporate documents on Google Docs... It blows my mind to put that in the cloud, than allow people to share if among themselves, so if any of them gets his/her account hacked, the hacker will ha

I agree with you as long as we are talking about mobile application stores. The Mac store proposes a lot of over-priced applications, including many applications that used to be free prior to the store release.

This article does not mention that the Minitel was a rip-off. All services were extremely expensive (3617 being the most expensive, at around 1€/minute). It was also investing on people's credulity at the time: for example, expens

Even though the technical achievement is really impressive, the iOS6 design just looks out of place. It simply does not look right, it's a shame that implementing an iOS service led them to implement an iOS design, I would rather prefe

You call a shame the fact that this website does not work with your very specific add-on that modifies entirely how the browser handles in-page navigation?

It is surprisingly hard to obtain a consistent font rendering across OSX, Windows and Linux. I had to play with the weight of the fonts, but also the font size (on Windows, my font is 3pt smaller than on OSX...). Irritating, especially when

Thanks for the read, will probably switch to KeePass then.

KeePassX started as Linux client for KeePass but since then has become cross platform. I have not investigated yet what are the main differences between the KeePass and the KeePassX applications on Windows.

As said elsewhere, passwords stored in LastPass are encrypted locally. They do not store your password so they officially don't have a way to decrypt your passwords. I agree that it's a matter of trust as your passwords are still

With LastPass, all data are encrypted locally on your machine so except if there is a backdoor in their extensions/desktop applications, you are normally pretty safe.

Personally, I am a Last Pass user. It is well included in most browsers out there and you have access to it on your mobile if you subscribe to the premium offer (12 dollars per year).

Why would you have Go on a mobile OS as a mobile application development framework?

It actually made me switch back to zsh. Pipe not working is just a no go for me. But overall, this is a great shell, very accessible compared to bash/zsh, I particularly appreciated the configuration mechanism.

Despite thorough researches and testing, I have never been able to find a good alternative to Dropbox in term of seamless synchronisation of my files, and accessibility across all the platforms I use. To secure my data, I just use BoxCrypto

My main concern regarding the new Google+ is how slow and resource consuming it is. Using Firefox 21 on OSX, scrolling is just a continuous pain, and my browser hangs up quite often with the Rainbow Wheel of Death. Switching to the single c
