I use twitter for one thing and one thing only - moaning at companies, ie. supermarkets, train companies, airlines etc. who have given me bad service. They're surprisingly responsive. Other than that, I find twitter little to no use at

I'm settled on VMware Fusion. I did buy both in the early days of Intel Macs but stayed put on VMware Fusion after upgrading a few versions of each. I can't say any of those features(!) promoted does much to make me want to move b

Couldn't agree with you more re: the artificial heightening and for the same reason, I don't understand the current trend in women's shoes to have absolutely massive platforms under their shoes. What's the point? I can s

When people complain about the cost of iPhone and Android apps ("What! This is going to cost me a buck?!") $60 to many people today must seem like an absolute fortune.

Yeah, I've got a Macbook Pro (13" retina) - I wouldn't get a Macbook Air to go with it. It would be too much money to spend on something that will only get about 30% use. I've ordered an Acer C720 which came in at less t

Thanks very much for the comments, I've pulled the trigger on an Acer C720 (32Gb edition) which I should get tomorrow. I'll certainly checkout Nitrous and running Crouton/Ubuntu sounds like it might be the way forward. I shal

That would certainly be an idea and would give me the platform I need. Thanks for the link! My only concern is the performance but then it wouldn't be used for the majority of my development so I'm sure I can get by with it! Parti

Yep, pretty sure! As the poster below says, the web is not the internet.

1989 - the Internet is born? No, the web was born not the Internet. See ARPANET.

I like the look of this and it's more what I'd be looking from in a css framework than Bootstrap or Foundation, which I feel I can never use in a project because most(all) of the projects I work on don't look like Bootstrap.

Seconding/thirding Transferwise. No complaints at all. Transfers, which I do monthly from the UK bank account to my Australian bank account, take between 3 and 5 days - usually 3 - and cost me very little - a couple of dollars, if that

Can anyone recommend a 3D printer? I feel like I need to get involved with this! Not Amazon's market, just 3D printing.

I've never seen eggs in the UK refrigerated. I used to live in NZ and Australia and don't remember seeing eggs in the fridge in either of those places either. I'm pretty positive they don't keep their eggs in the fridge.

Whether your latter paragraph is correct or not, the rest of your comment is on the money. I do wish the media and others would stop applying the word "hack" to everything. "My facebook account was hacked!" No, you just

I'm finding the terminology a little strange for this one.. "Helps you love how you spend every dollar"? While I get the gist of what you're saying, it makes my head hurt a little bit. Am on Android (Moto G) and every ti

I would love to know how Facebook could possibly die and what might replace it. Google+? Unlikely. It feels like it's somewhat unreachable. I'm sure that perhaps in 25 years time, something else will have replaced it but what and

I live in a similar-ish situation where I live on a narrowboat in London. I have a solar panel for electrical needs and I run the boat engine once every few days during the winter. For refrigeration, I've got a 12v fridge but many peop
