The ones suffering are Microsoft. (IMHO) I don't think that many of their corporate customers are still considering investing in their software. This could be a huge turning point for them. And unfortunate or not, I think they deserve

I'd rather have my feelings hurt in exchange for an honest opinion than to hear worthless words that sound nice. Always. And I'd always prefer a competent asshole boss to a friendly guy that doesn't know how to do his job. Pe

There's a business opportunity. Rent-a-shopper. Anonymize your purchases by having another person do your shopping. Pick up your purchases at a rent-a-shopper pick up point near you. I wonder what percentage of the population cares abo

How do you know it was Steve Jobs that prevented Apple from joining earlier? Perhaps Apple just wasn't a priority for the NSA until 2012.

Yes, same here. But there's probably useful alternatives.

I think it's just good journalism. The story needs to stay popular for as long as possible. They are storing and reading all our private communication, for crying out loud.

It seems like the USA own Europe. What happened yesterday is very serious.

Yeah, I also think there should be a more fundamental discussion about where the web is heading. Instead of fixing the tools perhaps one should think about a new foundation for everything. Not sure HTML etc. is it.

Sometimes Stackexchange sites will close a thread, because it's "not a question". Sometime's they won't. Nitpicking, but this is not a question. (Still great answers, though.)

Same here. CSS Media Queries are not respected. Looks alright on phone, but this test-website is showing the default desktop-version.

You are right about this being a good apology, but I think placing to much value on a good apology is not healthy. We are already living in a world where words, promises and good intentions matter too much. In the end, actions matter most.

One person in that post said it right: "You want people to send you their photo ID / passport? Are you out of your *&#%& mind?" I am not even sure if I am legally ALLOWED to send a copy of my ID anywhere in my country. The right ans

Yes. Life is about balance. Too much working is bad. Too much relaxing is bad. About getting rid of unnecessary things: For each item I buy (say a pair of new socks), one old has to go. Usually I throw away (or donate) more than one item wh

I once saw a nice idea when I was traveling to Sofia in Bulgaria. When I withdrew money at an ATM it asked me at the end if I would like to donate 1 LEV (0.66 USD, 0.5 EUR) to Unicef. I really liked it, because it's a very small amount of m

Is this about sexism again? The culture has lost when political correctness is taken too far. Perhaps the guy behaved like an a *e for disturbing other people, but this is not how you handle it. You turn around, and tell them to STFU. Bu

Thank you for posting this. I like such stories, even though I have never been to the former USSR. I once was working with an (incredibly skilled) C++ guy who was a former officer/engineer in the Soviet army. He told me similar stories. App

Yeah apparently they will deploy updated versions of the apps to address that issue though. (It says so at the bottom of the article.)

You could use LESS or something similar, fork a repo like this one [1] and start adding your stuff. [1] https://github.com/anthonyvscode/Less-CSS3-Mixins

Here's a similar quote from Jay-Z: “This is why we shouldn't be afraid. There are two possibilities: One is that there's more to life than the physical life, that our souls "will find an even higher place to dwell" when this life is over. I

I have multiple todo-lists in the iOS Reminders-app. They are labeled after things like the app I am currently working on (where I use it like a poor man's ticketing system), private life, and even a shopping list. I write down things as th

That's nice, but it doesn't help me circumvent German YouTube censorship. Still, I think in other countries this probably works well. Good job! Also on the UI.

I think Apple has recognised the problem and they are now supporting some HTML-meta-tag that will simply insert an App-Store banner when you visit a site that has it with iPhone's Safari.
