The catch here is if he was just doing this on his own, outside of work - then not being very explicit about it being separate could get him and/or his employer in quite a bit of bother.

It sounds like you have an awesome lifestyle, but I'm not sure I agree with your definition of a vacation. For me, the new definition of a vacation is being completely unplugged. Granted I don't have my own business yet, so presumably daily

ha, lol! wasn't an accusation :P It will be quite interesting to see though, I'll keep an eye out.

I love the idea and the app, hard to believe this was just a 24 hour project. Would be nice to get a native version at some point too, so you can run offline. Disclaimer: I was at LeedsHack too, great event!

I've had this setup for years now, and never accidentally done this. Don't forget on a Mac you're much less often moving your mouse to the top right corner (window closing is on the top left of a window. The further most icons are always th

May I suggest you look into "Hot Corners", which is built into OS X and allows you to specify certain actions when moving the mouse to the very corner of the screen. I heavily use the gestures, but I still find these rather handy My setup i

me too. I just spent the weekend at a hack day ( http://leedshack.com ) in the UK, with over 100 hackers. I barely saw any windows machines, almost everyone had a Mac.

I use Spotify when I know what I want to listen to and http://thesixtyone.com when I don't.

First thing my driving instructor said to me after sitting behind the wheel - "you're now in control of a 1 tonne killing machine". edit: I should clarify that he said it as a warning...

Why haven't news sites like this tried the "spotify" model. Where you can pay to have the ads removed?

Switched from Bloglines many moons ago, and never looked back... I use Reeder on my iPad, Helvetireader2 as a browser script and don't ever really use it on my phone, but when I do I'd use the mobile site.

I'm not sure where you're from, but here in England if you knock something out you've beaten it unconscious :P

I live in Manchester, UK. I don't know how easy it is for you to get into the city centre on weeknights, but Manchester has plenty of user groups nowadays - some of which are rather well established. I'd recommend you start with something l

Actually, this seems like a pretty good idea. I presume that if G+ really is a collection of smaller projects, then this functionality would sit neatly inside the stream area. It's also one of those ideas that once you hear, seems obvious -

I'm hoping they're doing something clever with it. Like showing the last people online or the most frequently interacted with etc.

The demo has a number in the middle of the circle, I'm guessing the faces are just subset of the users in that circle.

I get the feeling everyone was expecting their effort to be rather, dare I say it... rubbish. But, it looks nice and I think a lot of people are pleasantly surprised by that. Buzz was a blatant twitter clone, and I disabled it as quickly as

I currently use Limechat... checked out the Textual website but can't see anything that differentiates it. What does it add over the base limechat?

Also, saying "Dog and Bone" anywhere outside of London will get you laughed at. I'm presuming this is mostly the case in London too. Cockney rhyming slang != British, and no - we don't all use it. Spotify is awesome, so much so that even

I would have preferred if they had somehow integrated/replaced the system tray functionality with that of the tiling interface... as my understanding the tiles can mimic most of this functionality, if not do a little more. I dare say most t

As a .NET developer, I'm not in any way worried that they're going to replace the .NET framework as their primary enterprise platform, with javascript. For this tile UI, I'm a little surprised - if only because it's quite different from how

I'm in England, and I see them all the time. Lincoln was the first city I saw them pop up in (several years ago) but anecdotally I'd say about a quarter of the machines I come across require you to input your number plate.

4 years ago weren't they still struggling with the sheer amount of tweets that were being sent? Adding images into the mix wouldn't have helped much, and may have killed off any momentum they had going? Saying that, it would have been nice

I've no experience of these sites, but asking dev's to put "i am real" strikes me as something they're doing out of desperation of dealing with fake requests etc. This implies to me that they will be all the more appreciative when you turn
