So is the Compute Engine basically a VPS? If so, is it roughly equivalent to the base-tier DigitalOcean offering? Sorry for the stupid question; it just seems like I'm missing something!

In terms of Scrivener, keep an eye on bundle deals and software discounters like StackSocial. I was able to get my copy for around half-price, and the organization and feature set provided for those $20 is well worth-it. Now, to be fair, I

Given other comments in this thread, it means (1) viewing the original work (in this case, the source code), (2) making superfluous changes to avoid literal copying (changing variable names, find-replace company name, etc), and (3) passing

The line was something to the effect of "We need to become HBO faster than HBO becomes us." It happened.

If the TV spot they're referring to was an Xbox One advertisement with the phrase "Xbox on", yes, it was ill-conceived because it was a commercial for the voice-control system being advertised. It would be like an Amazon comm

Won't do much; AFAIK everything is encrypted client-side with your master password. So a hacker could, in theory, get my encrypted database, but by the time they crack my strong password, I will, at the very least, have changed all tho

As someone who once had a long-distance relationship with a 400mi round trip, I'd say it's a little of both. There's a novelty factor, but there's also a part of it that some people find enjoyable. Having the right car h

In theory? Veertu uses the built-in Hypervisor.framework from macOS, so it can run without installing a kernel extension. I think they're still working on building out features, but for my basic needs I prefer it on that basis alone.

I wonder if it would be useful to harvest excess CO2 from the atmosphere. That way, you're using the existing CO2 as a fuel source.

I know Tim Cook has mentioned VR as something "interesting" in the recent past, so they may be waiting for it to become a little more mainstream.

Agreed. Making a "dumb" electric car meant going against Tesla that is already making strides toward autonomy. Making a fully autonomous car meant solving new problems that could make-or-break the project. So yeah, Apple's sm

Not necessarily downtime, but why they "killed" a very popular third-party tool to show real-time locations of Pokemon.
