   I always thought that the problem with all those data tracking apps (for example "Dayta") was that it took so much time to enter the data so that after a while the user wouldn't care. If this really solves the problem (can't try, I'm an And

   Isn't the theory that for a regular grammar you can use regexp, for a context-free grammar you need sth. with a stack (= parser). HTML isn't regular, though, is it? So if there's not (even an implicit) stack in his example, this won't work

   That is like saying that poetry is unreadable prose. There's pleasure in brevity. Also one can learn some neat tricks sometimes. And nobody demands you use clever one-liners in your production code.

   I prefer a stronger contrast between read and unread messages. While the new look looks great for search, maps etc. I find it less useful in GMail.

   Perhaps you could run each message through Google translate or something similar (e.g. English -> French -> English) to obfuscate the writing style. Otherwise, as others have already pointed out, it is very indicative of who the aut

   Chrome runs Greasemonkey-scripts, too. They are automatically converted to extensions in the background. Works very well. ( http://blog.chromium.org/2010/02/40000-more-extensions.html ) But I wouldn't call this useless. It's just another

   For one thing, people will pay to be the kind of people who go to movies several times a month even if they do not actually go to movies several times a month. (You laugh, but the entire gym industry survives thanks to this. Ditto many oth

   I find myself surfing to tripadvisor often when travelling. They would have the potential to build a airbnb right in there..

    I suspect that in a few years there'll only be two (native) apps: Making phonecalls + webbrowser. (yes the webbrowser will also play mp3s and talk to the camera to take pictures)

    1% of all desktop installations might just as well be 10% of all desktop installations by professionals that use their computer for creating things, though. Assuming it were so: Wouldn't that be reason enough for Adobe to target Ubuntu &#38

    I feel very fast (faster than with any normal editor) with MacVim but what if that also is just an illusion?

    Nicely done but I find the default view much easier to navigate. A JavaScript-switch between default and with pictures would be nice though.

    Hm, I think that statement could be contested. But anyway, in regards to the effect the web has, one could argue that democratization has enough value to the people who are using the Internet to spread western values in their countries to g

    Perhaps a bit off-topic: The world will change in the coming years. Not only in Egypt & Co. but also in the west. Curious to see how the governments & elites will react. A sense of enlightenment might propagate throughout the masses

    I think generally that people need far less news than they consume. Many things are probably irrelevant and some even harmful to their mood or motivation. However, I also want to stay informed on certain topics. Say I'm a freelance graphic

    I agree. However this doesn't exclude operation with a touch-pad, like for example Apple's stand-alone Bluetooth touch-pad.

    What is the benefit of publishing all the stolen data now? I guess it's proof for a successful attack, but it doesn't have any other benefit now, does it?

    Someone could just write a configurable extension to allow to hide whatever the user wants. But I still find it silly.. Just don't click on stories that don't interest you. heh

    Perhaps eight or ten years ago I had a Polish girlfriend and visited her in Poland and lived with her friends for a bit. I noticed how they mainly used the Internet. They had an ICQ-like polish IM (GaduGadu) running and they ONLY changed th
