   My Android phone broke down month ago, I am practically offline since than. Twitter, IM and other stuff was constant source of distraction. Now I have 'dumb' phone, I only miss GPS and flash light. I still do read twitter, but onl

   I expected something about Palm or Epoc32 system tables. Files are not going away because they mean control. The moment user loads his data into proprietary app, some company tries to squeeze money out of him. Than you loose all your data b

   I hope this will finally make farad (or even kilofarad) capacitors cheap and available. There is no better engine for innovation than arms race.

   Front page for a day is not that hard, if you have something relevant and interesting. I think it is better to avoid direct description of your project, and choose unique scenario or good story. Also good idea is to run stress test on your

    I watched documentary about Egyptian monuments. It was very good, it even included village where workers lived. But for some reason authors added Mount Sinai.

    Trick is to bypass 'making' stage, I just bought it second hand. I DIYD only things which are impossible to find (ultralight telescope, hexa-copters), tables are on every corner.

    Desktops are neglected as well. My i2600K@5GHz is still best CPU I can put into desktop. Other components are stagnating, some are even increasing their value. I will have to buy server hardware on my next upgrade.

    I think major reason is housing price. If you want to leave local safety net of relatives and friends, you must be able to survive on your own. You must also have savings for first couple of months. Not possible if housing is too expensive
