Actually paper books are an inferior product for many reasons: 1) moderately large to large books are uncomfortable to hold after a while. 2) Fixed font size. 3) Take up physical space (i.e. you can have books and other kind of "public

That sounds like an awesome extension. I will have to look it up.

I do agree that they essentially endorsed torture but to me ZDT was just boring period . Ironically, the most entertaining/interesting part of the movie were the first 30 minutes when they dealt with torture, it's downhill from t

I can't stand 24, the script is so transparently cheap. It's just one little plot device looped over and over and over each episode. I couldn't stomach more than two seasons.

That's my case too! On Windows I have to use other kind of workarounds. Dark styles on VS, stylization addons on Firefox, etc...

Animated favicons are a huge distraction and suck. From the looks of it this project aims to make the favicon display useful information like notification counts instead of animated loops.

On Linux I use the 'Negative' Compiz plugin. You can apply it on a window by window basis or desktop-wide. For both modes there are keyboard shortcuts (that's what makes it such a killer feature IMO). People find the screen w

Interesting, I may have to ask Google this but does that mean that if I refund after 48hrs from the Merchant Center do they still bear the cost of the refund?

Except that Brazil is known to be pretty racist, even by Latin American standards. There is, somewhat surprisingly, a lot of racism in Latin America.

Actually, Google offers a way bigger refund window. 2 hours is just the "no hassle" refund that the user can ask for by just tapping the 'refund' button in the app page. After this s/he can always (in theory) email

My android TV box might not be Apple "polished" but it is very good and way more powerful than the iTV and works for everything I want it for (mostly Kodi and youtube) and for a fraction of the price.

Awful example. People can't barely get by with those govt checks (at least in the US).

The premise it's all wrong. The reason we let an "innocent" person go free it's because you don't have enough evidence to prove that it is guilty in the first place. Imprisoning that person anyway just to be "s

From the headlines that have been popping up lately about Windows 10 usage I believe the news cycle is about to produce 'Windows 11 Beta is around the corner!' type of headlines any day now.
