What basis do you have for saying that? I'm willing to bet that more than a few scientific discoveries were made on, or inspired by, these "introspections". Thinking and perceiving reality differently seems like an excellent

I thought that's the opposite of what Palladium did. Doesn't it make it so the apps and data on your computer aren't actually yours? Like Microsoft would have total control over what you put on your computer? I was under the

Oh come on, they ignore people who complain about the iOS client too. They just ignore everyone and refuse to iterate or innovate. Personally, I don't understand why people pay to use them when Google Hangouts has so many better featur

As a VJ, that's what I love about VLC too. Even now, I cringe when I go to professional film screenings, and between each film the screen reverts to a Mac desktop wallpaper and some person in the projection booth is frantically twiddli

Dude, you don't need to be so semantic. The headline had "atom" in the title, it had to do with Atom the editor, what more do you want? Do you think every headline should be excruciatingly specific and exact? Might as well ju

Tell that to Wave/Reader/Google TV/etc. I love me some Firebase, but I don't trust Google for a second. They kill projects off all the time, with no regard to the communities built around them.

That's a really interesting idea, but another issue to consider is that a lot of food/housing could be considered "nicety" rather than necessity: sushi, craft beer, luxury penthouse apartments, etc. How would you decide

They key point here though is that their "supporters" are NOT the American public. They are private corporations and banks with their own agendas, usually contrary to the public's well being.

Wait, can you use Polymer components? I was under the impression they still didn't work on mobile browsers. Our did they finally fix that? For now I use Material Design Lite. All the beauty of Polymer without the framework forcing you
