Welp, I now know my login was apart of the Adobe leak. Shouldichangemypassword.com sent me an email a few weeks ago saying my email address was found in a leaked database, although they couldn't say which one. Considering I have more t

There are little to no fees when making a transaction on the bitcoin network. But companies like Coinbase that buy or sell bitcoins are free to charge fees to cover their cost of operations.

I'm interested in the idea for sure. Is there any way I can get updates on the project (github, website, newsletter)?

I can see the Surface functioning better in a business environment than other tablets. It wouldn't be my first choice for a casual-use device.

That's a bad analogy. Spilling water on your wife and domestic violence are very different things. Both the inadvertent (and arguably unconstitutional) collection of Americans' data by the NSA and the willful abuse of power by the

Am I the only one who thought from the description that this would condense users' social media feeds, making them look like they were product back labels?

That's really impressive and works well. Hopefully iOS will eventually have a way to try out apps before purchasing.

Personally, I follow way too many people to get any actual enjoyment out of Twitter. I would really like to slim down, but it would take a considerable amount of time to do so. But if you're interested in web development and design, ch
