   Awesome site. Is there any sort of API ? I'd love to build a surf predictor/alert for Stockholm, which is very dependent on wind. I noticed a UX bug here: http://snpy.in/E34hR9

   My suggestion to stop the clogging is either: - use a beard trimmer on the shortest setting, and then shave with Harrys - Try a Bic Metal razor, single blade with lot's of space so it doesn't get clogged

   Interesting what you say about the friction/glide of pens. At primary school (UK) I was taught to write with a 'proper' fountain pen. Ink was in little plastic cartridges. We were forbidden from writing with ballpoint pens. (

   The Moto X is slightly smaller and more powerful that the Moto G. The Samsung Alpha looks very promising, due to be released very soon.

    I am surprised podcast apps don't use P2P to download media. 1) Podcasts are made available for all at the same time, and rarely downloaded after the next episode. Lots of people trying to download the same file at same time. 2) Would

    Actually in Sweden there is a tax break like that. It covers domestic cleaning and house hold refurbishments. Originally you used to collect the receipts and at the end of the year you recieved 50% of the cost as a tax break. Now the cleane

    I spent so many months playing this game. Loved it. Regardless of the technical achievements of the developers, it also captured the imagination like no other game. I'm anxiously waiting for the Kickstarter funded release of Elite Dead

    I have never been able to watch or play any 3d games since Wolfenstein 3D. I would love to join the fun, but after 3 or 4 minutes I become very pale, sweaty and nautious.

    I would say use Appcelerator. It generates native apps for iOS and Android, so runs fast and can access all the hardware features, or at least more so than Phonegap can. I'm pretty certain Appcelerator can export to iOS, Android, WebOS, Win

    I have helped setup 5 drobos for different people and they have all worked fine. My only suggestion is not to partition them, seems to cause problems when resizing the partitions with bigger drives. Defiantly no problems with noise.

    Does Transmit 4 have the ability to unpack a ZIP archive on the server? YummyFTP has it built in and it saves so much time being able to upload the wordpress.zip file and then select 'Unpack archive'. This can probably be done with RAW FTP

    I am self employed, and 99% my clients are in UK, so I speak English all day. When I'm at home I need to to speak English with my children so they learn some English. I have trouble finding any time to learn Swedish.

    I'd love to find to startup or developer communities here too. Do you speak Swedish ? I'd feel a bit awkward going to some meeting and being one of the few people who don't speak Swedish. I moved to Stockholm a couple of years ago but haven
