GitHub will definitely get the job done if you like going the static site route. Otherwise Ghost [0] is a popular alternative to WordPress for self-hosting. The answer really comes down to how much time you want to spend maintaining and upd

Crouton doesn't necessarily go away on reboot. You just have to consistently boot into Developer Mode to keep it (and the rest of your data). You just get a warning and the option to do so each time it boots. That's how I've

You're right they don't care, but that doesn't mean it's hopeless. It's up to developers and companies to actually create the pure utilities the free software movement advocates, and sell it not on "freedom and

Yeah, we've been working on this for a while, and figured we'd throw it out there after hearing that news :) A few things that are different: you can see your list of past posts, we store everything in localStorage in the browser,

Thanks. I am planning on updating the iOS app myself now, especially since I'm generally doing more iOS development these days. But it was incredibly nice to hand off that bit of work and get back a fully-functional app, especially a

It's live, and it says at the top: "the camera is on" basically. It's like the call already started as far as the caller is concerned -- no ringing necessary.

I might be convinced of that when they improve the battery technology. No company on the planet except for Apple can say "wireless is the future" and charge $159 for buds that last 5 hours.

I was thinking the same thing -- the Chrome Store has been a huge boon for my product ( https://write.as ). But a lot of people are on Chrome OS, and since they're keeping apps there at least, I don't think this is a ter

Chromebooks do the best job I've seen of being user friendly and solving the primary use case for millions of people: getting online. They're basically internet appliances, which speaks to their success -- after all, who needs hel

The great thing about the 3.5mm and 6.35mm jack is that I can use old hardware that still works great with new headphones. The equipment I spend money on lasts and continues to work as I upgrade individual parts over a long period of time

Agreed. And I think the biggest problem with mobile apps is that many act like they're still on the web -- rarely attempting to fit in to the OS with a consistent UI, and inconsistently using native features that help with interoperabi

Well technically , Android doesn't sort notifications strictly reverse-chronologically, but also within different priority levels that the apps themselves choose (e.g. phone calls and direct messages = always at the top, "Foo jus

The nice part about that idea is the flexibility you get over where you share specific content, and how each piece can be platform-agnostic. You could essentially augment Twitter or Tumblr and create posts for each with a single interface.

Plus if it's a taser, where the probes are shot out, you can potentially be "stunning" a small area of the body, depending on how far away they were shot from. The video in the article shows a dude impaled on a fence for 30

What if there's a more popular Adam than Adam Sandler? And does this mean I need to reserve the name "Adam" on my service, so that one day when Adam Sandler comes along, he'll be able to get the name I assumed he wants?

The "minimum length" idea is sort of interesting. But is this really an issue? Many early Twitter users with one-letter names still use the service. Not all early adopters want a "one night stand" with your product --

I think the analogy is apt. The medium, unlike a printed newspaper for example, enables communication as much as it enables one-way publishing. And isn't the latter a subset of communication ? Think of a personal site. What is that, i

I'm 25 and am definitely feeling its effects on my body too, as well as longing for the outdoors. It's worse because I know the damage I do from sitting around means that I need to spend more time actively counteracting it later

I do the same for smaller sites on my second or third time buying from them. But the first time, if it's something I really want, I generally use a temporary email account anyway -- again defeating the purpose.

It doesn't make the point invalid. There are laptops that connect to cell networks. I can make calls to landlines from my desktop. That doesn't change the name, because it does a lot more. I can also use these devices without a SI
