I have no idea what options there are for a non-iOS user, but ... There's an excellent iOS app called TurboScan. It's fantastic. Take a picture of your receipts and it'll convert the image to low file size, but high-quality, PDFs. You can t

I like clear and concise. I'm like that a lot (unless I'm intentionally verbose) and tend to get looked at in the same light.

I tried searching for local Ruby guys, and some of the top Django/Python people I know showed up at the top of the list. It might need some tweaking.

I'll second that. Instapaper 3.0 is incredible. I use Readability and Instapaper for different things. With Readability, I use the Chrome extension to make articles readable in the same way Safari does on the fly. With Instapaper, I save ar

Indeed he must have. A lifetime ago I worked as a reporter, but also did page layout. One of the stories I wrote was about a local food pantry at a church that was running low. I don't remember exactly what my headline was, but I left the "

It's a shame about this typo a little more than halfway through the article: "TMO: That’s right. The pubic face is, oh, yeah, there’s no problem."

I did it two years ago. When I was done, I shopped it around. No one was interested. Even still, it was totally worth it.

First of all, if you know a little bit about Steve Jobs, you'll know he wasn't likely a big fast food eater. Secondly, I think Steve Jobs would have been much worse off if he had stepped down as CEO. Steve Jobs needed Apple as much as Apple

I'm so confused. Can I create a million-dollar business in a weekend or not? Because I read "Reboot. Relaunch. Redesign. Pivot. Sunset. Shutter. The Knack, a web app, story," and it sounds like building a business is work. ( http://news.yco

My daytime employer subscribes to Wufoo's mid-level plan and the experience has been fantastic. I was worried when they sold the experience might change, but so far it's been nothing but the rock-solid steady performance and smart feature e

Reed Hastings makes me wonder what kind of company Netflix is. Does Netflix listen to its customers? I've hated the website redesign since it launched and from what I've read, I'm certainly not alone. I find the redesign to be much less use

As of this post, it appears to be working. And I have to say, it's impressive. Those are some good-looking bookmarks. That's probably the oddest maintenance I'd ever think to write, but in this case, it's true!

I'm not a fan of the overall design, but the way the logo disappears into the top bar (scroll slowly) is pretty darn cool.

The article doesn't say this flare is releasing 10 percent of the Sun's total energy. Instead it says: "A good flare can release up to 10% of the Sun’s total energy, the equivalent of billions of nuclear bombs exploding. What’s funny to me
