When you order a pizza it doesn't exist at the time you order. That doesn't change the fact that you're purchasing a product. Though I think with kickstarter you're technically making a donation. Either way I don't see how that could affect

Not even the network carrier should be able to tell the duration of a web page visit. Only the browser (or tracking javascript) could record this, but that's still dubious. I've had some browser tabs open on my phone for months... but that

Don't forget that Google's headquarters is in a sprawling campus near the suburbs in Mountain View... with a small Microsoft campus near by. Your hypothetical "hipster" choosing between Google, Microsoft, and Apple in the bay area is choosi

Where does "without punctuation" come in to it? They say "Numbers and punctuation aren't altered." Sure enough, the bookmarklet doesn't remove punctuation. Also, the bookmarklet seems to skip over paragraphs that have a character they can't

Seems like this is something your developer should be answering for you.

Ah ha, their site doesn't play well with the built in popup blocker in Chrome and Safari.

Can you actually view the report? Maybe I'm missing something, but clicking on the "Report" link just appears to reload the page.

I'm pretty sure iOS used to have a single search/URL input, but they separated them out in later releases.

Holy wars are pointless... but there is value to a reasonable discussion of two competing editors.

My understanding (though I'm not a lawyer) is that under the DMCA, Megavideo can sue. [edit: like dangrossman says, I don't think they can bring perjury charges, but the DMCA does allow them to sue] Some information here: http://targetlaw.

So are they saying they only intended to bundle the crapware with closed source software, or am I misunderstanding?

I wouldn't call the mobile support in Reader "frist rate". Some of the UI elements (especially the "mark as read", "email", etc. links at the bottom of each post) are too small, I constantly expand the next post when trying to email one. A

I'd guess not much. Most people who wanted to use G+ already signed up with a Gmail account. Unless you're counting one person maintaining personal and professional profiles as 2 active accounts...

They also recently dropped the free version to 10 accounts instead of 50.

Yeah, I have the same concern. "Americans themselves would start lending to small businesses" and " Starbucks customers would be able to donate money to the effort when they bought their coffee." don't really agree with each other. Donating

Is Spotify going to start giving a discount on subscriptions for all this marketing/advertising information they're pushing to Facebook?

by rhubarbquid 15y ago
Assuming Spotify is not run by stupid people, money would be the obvious reason (and the only one I can think of off hand).

yeah, office 2008 was the first native x86 version, IIR (and I swear it takes longer to start up then the PPC version of 2004 did under Rosetta, which is just ridiculous).
