I'm not much of an Apple fan, but I do have a used MBA and I have to say, the old style magsafe adapter is one of the greatest features of any laptop I've ever seen. If having a laptop that is 10mm thicker meant leaving this brilliant bit o

Not only is this a beautiful and helpful web app, but it supports many different editors instead of taking part in the text editor wars.

I was really interested to see this data until I saw that they use the BMI; possibly the dumbest and most loudly touted measure of health. According to these numbers I am overweight, heading towards obese, and I don't think any doctor on Ea

It's certainly not the most common method; I'm sure point-and-click is. But the kind of people who use keyboard launchers, the ones who are sounding off the loudest on their tech blogs and sites like HN and Reddit, surprise me. I'm sure the

The main complaint I hear is the change of start menu behavior, but most people I know use a keyboard based launcher anyway. If you're typing the name of the thing you want does it matter if it's going into Launchy, the Win7 start menu or t

They DO love us. If you go to your unique Humble Bundle purchaser URL the new games are already there. Indie Devs are the best!

Any love for those of us who already bought this? I don't want to pay twice, especially considering the only other game I want that I don't already have is Super Meat Boy.

I'm writing a little Sinatra app for my fiancee's birthday. It's nothing complicated, it just displays a different reason I love her each time the page loads (or you can permalink to a specific reason).

Goes to show how many (greatly needed) programmatic features CSS is adding. Also shows that some people love a creative way to attack a problem.

Hasn't this been around for quite some time? g.co links are used on all of the official Google twitter accounts.

It's perfectly reasonable that Google would try to consolidate their properties. You used to need a YouTube account to do anything, and they own YouTube and don't feel like managing disparate databases about their users. It may be a minor i

Weird coincidence; by the end of the story something had gotten in my eyes. Excuse me.

This business model is fairly popular in education. We have tons of open source projects where we COULD run it for free, but sometime we pay for hosting, or consulting, or customization. It seems to work well too.

A complicated bit of text editing software if after 20 years of daily use you're still learning significant new tricks. Statements like yours are why vim seems completely unapproachable to me.

My thoughts exactly. This is just the thing I've been looking for.

$500 great? Considering that not all developers and content will even take advantage of the screen?

There's nothing wrong with incremental upgrades until you remember that Apple markets nearly everything they sell as 'revolutionary' (or 'resolutionary' in this case) and act as if now that they are using a technology (4G, quad core, high-r
