"A cab driver asks if you have kids" So your answer would be no? Then you'd have to lie each time. Or would your answer be; sorry but i won't answer that question. That would work i guess but it would get tiring as well i'm sure.

I had some issues with my Nexus 7 which i bought in the Netherlands and was a bit peeved to find the contact us page for the Nexus 7 is literally an empty page. No contact information whatsoever. This was a few months back. I just checked;

And making demands and disciplining someone through the public channel of Twitter instead of just calling your supposed friend is very decent and polite you think?

Everybody enjoys a good Christmas story so after you get that new job somewhere early next year, as seems a given, do come back here and tell us where you ended up :)

I love what you've done here. It's indeed a great starting template and unlike that -other- html5 template it does a good job explaining why you would or wouldn't use some of the elements. I also disagree with some of the other commenters o

I too would pick it up sooner if there was an (almost) free plan with some strict limits. That way i could use it in say a hobby project or something that's still in beta and figure out if it works for me before running up hefty costs right

I'm quite happy with Fastmail.fm, there are not that many options out there i'm afraid.

Pretty cool, and made me try DuckDuckGo as my default browser again. As for the DuckDuckHacks site; i'm missing an exhaustive overview of which 'hacks' are already done/being worked on.. for instance; python is already live as far as i can

From the site it seems like they are setup reasonably well for international customers but since all the staff is in the US some things like calling them or having them call people will be less than ideal. Also i can imagine that they have

I was thinking along the same lines. I'd much rather 'pre pay' for tasks than have a monthly limit. Else i'll have to think if a task is worthwhile enough to use up one of my 5 tasks. And i would hate to run out of task slots some months bu

And lo and behold; the menu folds up just like one of those mats. Japanese yes, random no.

I should have maybe clarified that i too have moved to Fastmail (about a year ago) and am a happy customer. But both the price and the UI leave a lot of room for improvement, i.e. competitors. And yes moving mail out of Gmail was a pain bec

I see some email addresses referring to recent cases in there, i.e. findwhitey@ic.fbi gov. I wonder if these guys just tipped off mobsters still under investigation... or even read some of those case mailing lists (presuming that's what the

I'm still looking for a great alternative to Gmail/Google apps for my business email. Something that supports IMAP and has a reasonable webmail front end. Fastmail is the closest thing i've found but this could be a perfectly fine startup w

Interesting point. It could actually hurt american companies. With privacy becoming a more mainstream concern people might well steer clear of companies that have to give access to the FBI and go for european alternatives. Not that the EU d

I live in the Netherlands and it seems to work like a charm so far. the whole upheaval sounds like an internet pile-on to me.

Just created a test account. Pretty slick for a side project. Love the TODO list feature. Like others have mentioned i too worry about the pricing though. I have several people pushing each day and pulls from multiple servers as i deploy st

Well yes, but doesn't it's usefulness come from the tight integration with gmail only features? disclaimer; i only used Sparrow for a bit a long time ago so perhaps they've made these features work in regular IMAP as well..

Looks pretty good actually (from the screenshot), you even have an iPhone app and everything. Why not just charge a small something, even if it's only to get you a nice side income? Somebody mentioned $5/month as a reasonable price for some

Like WhatsApp, Viber is free to use and has no advertising model. If they are not making money off me directly i have to wonder how safe my data actually is with this service.

He actually needs to switch to Kanji several times a day as he says clearly "I must turn my texts and emails into Kanji ten times a day." The gripe is with the layout of the Kanji keyboard which, looking at that screenshot, is indeed pretty

I no longer trust them to offer a similar shared hosting service a) reliably and b) actually lifetime. It was probably never a good idea to finance a company this way and it's certainly not a good idea to spin this off into a new company wi

That would be very interesting. Is this simply not a viable model without raising prices (in the case of Spotify) or are record execs really the fat-cats that we all think they are and would they be able to save themselves by simply being l
