I know this is a minority use case, but my iPhone is a great tool for testing whether audio equipment is working or not when I'm doing media system installs. Simply plug in the iPhone and play some sounds. Alas...

Addictive and fun. The timing on the turns is just right. If you're looking for feedback, I'd suggest putting the leaderboard up and to the right on bigger screens. I had to keep scrolling down in between turns to see how I was do

I'm excited to try this out. It'll be fun to compare to some of the data I get by using RescueTime[1]. [1] - https://www.rescuetime.com/

Aspects of this island evolution were part of the plot in the marvelously detailed sci-fi book from Kim Stanley Robinson: Aurora. TLDR: Interstellar multi-generation spaceships are essentially genetic islands.

Could you provide an example or two of the sites that will be impacted, and how it will effect an average user? I'm not that familiar with this area.

I love the experience of using 1Password, and use it for my personal work and family. Thanks for posting this, because the last time I had looked at 1Password for teams it didn't meet all the features of LastPass. I'll give it ano

I'm so glad to see movement in this direction. I work on a team with lots of non-technical people who need to share passwords and secure information, and store their own private bits. So we use LastPass. It's the only thing that w

I'd pay (once) for software that periodically ran on my computer, pinging a URL for a price, tracking it locally, and giving me an alert at a change threshold.

I bet that product is more expensive than we think. They can only afford to offer this as a feature of their enterprise product. But as a standalone offering I'm guessing it would cost more ($300-500?) than most people would be willing
