Thanks for making me discover owncloud! The only sad thing is that it uses server-side encryption, which I don't trust even if I own the server :( However, through the power and sheer awesomeness of open source, I might try to get my hands

This has to be the funniest thing I've read today. A permanent reminder to whoever looks into Oracle Linux of how they've treated the Open Source community. The sweet, sweet irony.

Not defending the guy because they obviously stole the assets (the file names are the final nail in the coffin) but that's not his argument. He's claiming that they didn't copy the assets but inspired themselves from them. He's claiming th

This is somewhat surprising but not THAT much considering Autodesk makes a lot of creative finishing products and are trying to penetrate the consumer/indie space. (for example, Autodesk Smoke 2013 will cost ~25% of what Smoke 2012 did: ht

Dear United States of America, Please stop trying to impose your ridiculous and restrictive policies and law on us. There a simple reason we don't have the same legislation you do: WE DON'T WANT IT. Sincerely, The rest of the world

That and a lot of very good indie PC games come with controller support out of the box. For example, I bought Super Meat Boy on Steam, I'd be glad to play it on a Steam Box!

Given the relative free-for-all mentality that seems to be going on at Valve (which is far from a bad thing imo!), I won't take a patent application as a definite sign that Valve (a software company) will be unveiling a console anytime soon

Pushing 1080p off a mobile GPU on a console with 1Gb of RAM is cool and all but good luck doing anything else impressive besides... well pushing 1080p. This thing is closer to a phone than a real console.

I don't know about others but poor (relative to PC and console) game performance on mobile games is only acceptable to me because the machine fits in my pockets. I don't sit in my living room to play iOS/Android games, the fact that the dev

His reason for using space as a theme is probably deriving from his thesis that Microsoft should brand itself as a bringer of future tech. What seems more futuristic than space? It also appears mystically and naturally beautiful as well a

After looking at quite a few of his blog posts, I wouldn't be THAT surprised to read articles in a few years time about how this guy is the new Jonathan Ive. Now if only he could start working for an innovative company, I feel great designs

3 days redesign of a brand for fun? Whatever you think about the result, this guy has talent. I personally thought it was beautiful, really breathtaking.

Your argument would have had so much more weight if you had omitted the almost undisguised ad hominem attack.

Thanks for the link, however I'll go ahead and bet that most of those Facebook divorces actually go down to a more important underlying problem than the use of the social network. I'd really like to know how many cases has Facebook been bl

That irked me too but from a purely anecdotal standpoint, I believe the author makes a point when he describes Facebook from the perspective of someone in a relationship. You get such a biased view into other people's lives (because people

I don't see why Apple is so reticent on this. They wouldn't lose anything by letting users replace most default apps. Of course, they can't allow the replacement of the App Store and continue with their current model but a user that alread

I'm pretty sure Glass is the reason they do this. It really seems like it's a perfect fit for something you'd be wearing on your face constantly.

While I completely agree with you that the attacker getting into the database is an issue in the first place, "what is false" is that this is an excuse to divert the problem from blatant lack of understanding of basic principles in security

Oh the sweet, sweet irony.

False. Getting broken through will happen because there are so many holes to plug, while strong and slow hashing + salting (while being extremely easy to set up) will make it so it's not even worth it for the attacker to crack passwords wh

Still, this not being priority number one for them (before even making this service public!) means I will never do business with them. It says a lot about how they value their customers.

Still storing clear text passwords in 2012, how the hell do these people have businesses? I mean, I learned about this stuff at age 12 while learning PHP on my own, how hard can it be? Getting hacked happens, even to the best but come on,

I can't agree with the article. Quite the contrary, I believe the term engineer is grossly overused. I'm a Software Engineer student in an Engineering University, sitting through purely engineering-related (as opposed to development-relate

From their job application forms, it seems like they use a lot of Autodesk 3D modeling tools along with Adobe creative processing/finishing software too. I'd also really like to know what software packages were used exactly.

Maybe it's my limited understanding of finance, but I have trouble understanding why people thought it was a good idea to invest in a coupon company in the first place.

That's pretty sweet. Using Youtube you avoid having to host the content yourself too. I guess what threw me off was that you only present the audio. Being a student myself, I can relate to your situation I guess. It's really inspiring th

Really not my type of music (a lot of mainstream/club/dubstep stuff) but the website looks good. How long did it take you to make this? Where do you get the songs? How do you deal with licensing? What do the numbers on the right of the pla

The way they give you another game for paying more than average (therefore increasing the average at the same time) is simply genius! Buying a few bundles for gifts woohoo!
