Wow! However, I would never ever change my primary email to a new service that has not really been tested in the wild yet. Maybe in six months or a year, if everything runs stable by then.

One important reason why I am glad about Outlook.com as an alternative. Not only is it getting harder and harder to read emails on a Netbook screen (there is almost no space left for the actual message), it is also getting painfully slow. G

Nice UI, very light and simple, seems to be running fast even on my netbook. I guess I will start to use my 15 year old hotmail account again, good to finally have an alternative to Gmail. Only one thing: Microsoft, I know its really chiq a

This is how you do it: (a) Estabish what you spend on ads per visitor. (b) Establish what you earn per visitor coming from ads. (c) Only if (a) minus (b) is positive, continue running the ads. However, Facebook should have a look at this is

This is one of those articles I wish I could downvote. Soon, companies will be able to compete with gTLD, some have registered hundreds and will push them as the part of the internet for different topics. Google's ".lol" is probably the mos

The question is, why does the CEO get 3 Million USD as a bonus in addition to his pay, while the secretary makes only about 300 USD a month? Its a good guesture of the CEO, no question. But it highlights the perverse difference in income be

The camera was not taking pictures because they were not stored. Its is not the police's job to judge if anybody acted in self-defense or not, the job of the police is to show up(!) and restore order. Judges do the rest. Also in France.

Reddit Didn't Kill Digg, Digg Did I read a bit of the discussion on Reddit, and there were surprisingly (to me) many people that had used Digg before. Then something called "v4" came and Digg became unusable to many people. As I understood

Those groups would spend 95% of time in redundant discussions. There is a reason why Linux and other large projects came up with the "BDFL" to cut discussion short at some point and actually get things done.

Maybe only in one of twenty cases. And maybe only one of ten user comments are useful, but that one could save you hours of error tracking.
