This is an awful post. Starts with saying how Windows XP crashed and continues with a bunch of anecdotes. Here's another anecdote. I have yet to use Ubuntu on a machine where everything just worked. I love Linux and use it every day. It's n

The data is also encrypted with your own key. I know that's an option with at least one of those Mozy or Backblaze apps but definitely not with Dropbox.

WebOS was so close to being amazing. I can only hope they pull off something amazing with HTC or Samsung making the hardware. On the other hand if Apple makes a 7" tablet I won't even have a major reason to look elsewhere.

The OS is on par with the iPad but the hardware is not. An iPad is thinner and lighter and made of glass and metal (as opposed to plastic) but they both cost $500. If you can't match Apple's aesthetics then you shouldn't charge the same pri

Why can't I upgrade my digital edition? Not that books are that expensive but if the original is work $20 why is the same thing with a few minor changes still $20?

Their aesthetics are bad and their iTunes ratings are low. Pretty sure they would have lost to Kindle, iBooks, Nook, etc. anyway.

Indeed, regardless of how you choose your passwords email is a huge target. It's good to see Google and Facebook trying to thwart this by adding account activity information, etc.

Essentially you are using a private hashing algorithm. You're trading a bit of convenience for a good chunk more security. If it works for you keep doing it. The important thing is you are using good passwords and segregating sites.

Yet another reason if you get an Android phone you shouldn't get anything but a Nexus.

Should someone expect the salaries of H1-B employees to be comparable to resident employees? This is very interesting data but I'm wondering what all can be inferred from it.

3% is most of the profit margin? Really?

I deleted my comment; it was unnecessary. DFT = don't feed trolls.

Why should there be no fee? Square has already removed the fixed portion of their fee so it is just 2.75% (not ~$0.30 + ~3%). This helps with small transactions. Eventually their competition will have to do the same.

You should check out a review if you haven't actually used the UI. http://maketecheasier.com/ubuntu-natty-beta-1-review-screens...

You can view all the apps installed just fine. Ubuntu, unlike many distros, doesn't install 10 of every kind of app so I don't think its necessary.

Yes mostly on OS X but maybe also on Linux.

When I say debating I mean picking the least annoying one after having used all of them at their current version for a few days.

Using LTS delays the time between changes not the magnitude of the change.

At first I thought Unity was a stupid idea. That in Canoncial's quest to compete with OS X's "elegance" they were copying one of its most hated features, The Dock. However, after using Alpha 3 and Beta 1 a bit I feel like it is The Dock don

I don't think a hierarchical menu is needed. What purpose would that help with? I think instead they should focus on making it easy to search in the launcher. One cool feature they have is that it can listed installed apps as expected but a

I started using PwdHash ( http://www.pwdhash.com ) way back before it was so convenient to sync your KeePass DB with Dropbox. I guess it basically uses a secret/master password as a salt combined with a website's address or other identifier

I'm still debating on whether to use Firefox 4. Both Safari and Chrome seem to exhibit "lock ups" while opening a few tabs or while loading content. Maybe others have experience the same thing?

If only there wasn't some sort of machine that indexed a vast electronic knowledge base... And no I'm not trying to troll. OK, you got me.

I have not really seen any evidence of GIMP being that poor of a UI. The biggest complaint is the multi-window interface for which single-window mode is currently in alpha and should be out in a few months or so.

Exactly. And out of all the apps I use there was only one that triggered the Rosetta prompt; an open-source disk usage utility called Disk Inventory X. Users may not remember installing Rosetta but the fact is they and the developers have h
