   I don't want to be a naysayer, but isn't this just another Internet Of Things board for the umpteenth time? I fail to see how it's anything new.

   It's not. The button is there to temporarily (or not) enable a tracker, when it's necessary for function - apparently, Ghostery decided the text is behind a tracker. It's strange though, I'm using Ghostery too (latest ve

   I have a dillema. You are, beyond any shadow of doubt, spamming the hell out of the service on HN. On the other hand, the service does look pretty cool.

   I never thought about it that way, thank you! It makes me wonder what audio format could be fun to corrupt this way. FLAC, maybe?

   Most of these features are available even if you don't use Gmail though - the article's point wasn't about e-mail in general, just the invasiveness of Gmail.

   I think you misinterpreted what he meant by "true nature" - it is not "true nature" of people to communicate anonymously; however, doing so exposes the "true nature" of people. Like Oscar Wilde has said: &quo

    Great experiment, but it always takes me a while to focus on the image (I expected that's why the pause option is there but no, a modal javascript alert pops-up).

    I kind of fail to see the advantage of being able to walk given that the robot can fly - I'm sure there are some, but I can't think of any.

    What? That's not true at all, though I don't know about the "more advanced" functions, since I quit vi and start using vim as soon as I can - because even things like insert mode completely differ.

    +1 for zim, I actually had the very same problem as the OP, and I've found zim to be the best fit (uses Markdown under the hood, the sync, FOSS...)

    Doesn't Ghostery also block specific widgets and the like, which NoScript doesn't?

    Not really. Regarding "usual" sound, I haven't had a problem for years now, and just a while ago I actually set up a fairly complex system with JACK for a music performance I was preparing (midi controllers each connected to a specific synt

    I'm on a pretty new (if a bit budget) desktop, and during the benchmark I had the FPS drop to 16 during the flythrough of the streets :\ Still, it's pretty amazing.

    That's not entirely correct, actually. Before artificial lightning got introduced, people slept in two phases, and woke up in the middle of the night to do things. There were even books that suggested things to do in the time before the two

    I agree that they're ahead of their time, but I totally disagree that it's missing full viewports. In fact, I prefer that it doesn't take up my whole FOV. For one, it gives others a clear clue that you're somehow using the device, and it ca
