It's a CLI python app, so I'd have though that it was Windows friendly. I spent days trying to organise my collection of music (and still haven't suceeded). It's in many formats. In the past I've stripped metadata

It wouldn't matter though, if once you tried a recommendation, you could vote it in or out of future plays.

That's funny. That's a bit of a holy grail. Because you need the shuffle to track your mood. I found that it really subdues my listening, in that I don't always want some punk music interupting a mellow interlude. So I&#x2

You can always rent and buy. I'd be nervous buying DRM'd content from a supplier that may not be around in the future. But renting I could care less - unless I paid for years upfront - but you generally don't do that.

As someone that likes to pretty much always override author's styles, Chrome is pretty much out for me. There is no easy way in the browser settings to select your own stylesheet. Also there is no easy way to just turn off the author

Mail selection with Yahoo is tricky, but it's mostly usable. The current iteration is way better than it has been. (They've fixed back button integration. ) Google use a lot of buttons without text, using icons instead, which a

Regarding icon fonts: I override all web fonts, I just want to use a readable one. There's a noticable trend with embedding icons in fonts. Yahoo mail uses them. This doesn't feel quite right, even if it is a neat hack, and it

I agree with you on the JS front. Looking at you Yahoo mail -> and the user menu.

Imitation aside, the novel thing about this adaptation, is that it practices your typing pace and control. Other typing games focus more on raw speed. Some tutors report/measure your typing rate (Klavaro - fluidity, Amphetype - visc

I'd be more concerned about the repurcussions of having it record everything rather than what it looks like. See Black mirror: The entire history of you. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2089050/

I'd barely notice glass if it looked like that, far less prominent than bluetooth headsets or white headphones, or people clutching smartphones and bumping into each other, or just randomly standing stationary like the zombies that we&

There have been a fair few posts about this on HN. I think some people are actually quite glad of a HN blackout. I did decide one year that I would not check those sites at work. And it helped. I didn't have the time or space at hom

It's not just photo. It's as simple as people just wanting to be able to do things intuitively and easily. Hey I took a great photo at the weekend, let me share it with you, here you go, done. Or you must hear this song, or rea

Where does it state that?

Great that you touched on photo sharing. It's 2014 and it's still difficult to get photos from a camera to your computer to your friends. Publishing a simple web page is still deemed too difficult, discovering and managing conta

It's easy to bemoan the incumbent, but it's not easy to get rid of them. Remember Myspace, it was huge. A no-frills more personal alternative to it was born in Facebook. They are different products granted. But the early adopte

Spotify desktop app Linux uses about 11% of my CPU, Rdio / Chrome uses a shade over 30%. (Having said that the Spotify app's windowing is a bit ugly and glitchy for me. I think it's a Qt app and I mainly have GTK apps.)

If you read the homepage, it suggests free accounts get access for 6 months.

Like the TV then. Weirdly the ITV player in the UK has completely pathetic sound on the adverts that you can hardly hear, which makes them a little more bearable.

Just signed up. A couple of weird issues, I was presented with people to follow. I had no idea who these people were, and wondered what it meant to follow them. I managed to skip that step. Then I couldn't find a search box to find

I will listen more now, but that's probably a good thing. I barely used it in the past because of the limit (no idea what it was, but I'd hit it). As I said if I had a higher quality audio device to listen to songs on, that coul

They probably just observered listening habits. I'd fire up Spotify, listen to it for a day or two, then hit the limit (that I always seem to forget exists). And just switch it off for another month or so. Limits or adverts would su

Well your eye sight is way better than mine. Metro apps are almost usable, the desktop is barely usable (I have to walk over to the set, and that's with the text size increased. I have a very small (not titchy) living room.

I can't even use my Windows 8.0 on my 32 inch TV that is 1080 sitting a couple of metres away, while keeping the resolution and boosting all the accessibility settings to the max. Even the metro Apps I can't use. I'd need a 5

How do you know if someone isn't on Facebook? They'll tell you ;) Facebook is still attractive despite the negatives, and I haven't yet seen a good wholesale replacement for it. Personally I'd like a better feed manager

That's certainly a good point, but it seems wasteful to copy, just in case. Surely though multiple links would decrease that chance. What I was really getting at was wholesale monotonous rewrites. A lot of the web in my mind could b

And all that lovely pasted MS word code ;) It's easy to end up with formatting nightmares. The roll-back button is a must. I hate those editors with a passion, and though I like tools like Markdown (and Git), they are still problemat
