There was quite a substantial effort this year to bring near live transcribing and subtitling of all the talks. Unfortunately I can't find any files or transcripts right now, but you should keep an eye out on the subtitling wiki [0]. [

Great writeup, there's definitely potential to do something cool, especially if it's possible to get around any tracking and the following price manipulation. I tried installing your demo client, however on running it I got the fo

A couple of weeks ago I were searching for a flight on Easyjet with a friend, and every time we searched for the flight, we got a different price. We tried from incognito, tor and from a phone. Most of the differences were in the cents or a

Most modern smartphones already have this to a certain extent, I don't think that what Nokia calls 'zero gap screen' is much different from what we see today. All iPhones since the iPhone 4 have this, same with the Samsung Ga

I've been developing stuff based on Bootstrap lately, and it amazes me how this article appears on the first page of many of my related searches - something like a third I would say. I don't know if this is due to the article&#x27

I think an excellent input method for mobiles is Swiftkey. It has incredible accuracy, and it learns really fast as to what and how you type. Its intelligence beat all other keyboards that I tried, and I'm able to peak at over 60 WPM u

I guess it comes down to a difference in acceptability of intrusive advertising. Personally, I am absolutely disgusted when adverts are tailored towards me (especially since I don't see them most of the time with Adblock). Seeing tailo

Those two sites are not meant for inexperienced people. You can certainly find a scams there, but they're fairly easy to spot: unbelievable prices, payment only by western union, sellers with no/little reputation... Personally, I&

You should rant about runkeeper too, as they do the same thing by hiding the OSM contributor information.

It's quite interesting, I saw an advert in a local newspaper for a streetview driver today. I don't think that google will have a monopoly for much longer in this sphere.

If you search for Banana Pi on Aliexpress, you'll find other sellers listing it at ~$55 if that makes it any better. However they don't have too much reputation, it may be annoying dealing with the escrow service if it doesn'

One of the local super markets sends containers full of new TVs, washing machines, and more, to the local scrap yard. They didn't sell them within the period that they expected, and instead of discounting them (which would drive away c

The question isn't necessarily about rooting, seeing as the vast majority of people don't know what that even means. They shouldn't be tracking what we watch in the first place. Reminds me of this story from a year or two ago

Is this a concept that can be eventually used with other outlets, such as supermarket chains, or any other reasonably popular services that uses gift cards? Or am I missing something that is specific to Starbucks?

A user on Lifehacker posted this comment there, and I thought it would be a really cool option: Sorry, but this is stupid. I don't "not close" tabs because I'm too lazy and need a program to do it for me. I leave th

I disagree. Wikipedia is a similar effort, and yet they have a highly polished look. I agree with the fact that OSM doesn't look as nice as GMaps, and I also agree that a better color/font scheme needs to be implemented if they wa

$70 for bootcamp? For a company as technologically advanced as South Korea, can't they just use refit or refind? Heck even a VM would do fine.
