T-Mobile really seems to have turned their act around. I was with them for a long time but went to AT&T for the 3Gs (at the time being able to tether at a decent speed was worth it). Now, I don't know. I'm on Verizon and Verizon's cover

The real problem is a non-subsidized phone costs you more on most carriers than the subsidized version. Even if bringing your own phone gets you out of having to have a contract, you don't save anything in the process. You pay the same mont

More colors won't help anyway - people can only distinguish so many colors before the distinctions become meaningless. This is a great opportunity to try to visualize the info in a different way that takes advantage of the noise rather than

This will rapidly turn into some bizarre form of performance art. You're going to run out of colors pretty quickly. The instructions get obscured by the user list, at least on my Linux version of Chrome.

The removal of the ability to quickly select unread messages is proving to be an annoyance. I know I can select it from the checkbox dropdown, but I used that link constantly in my multi-inboxes set-up. Now having to do it in two clicks is

I use this option, but beware. At least some of them don't offer the export. I forget exactly which book it was, but one of the ones I bought didn't have that option. I imagine I could go pull the files manually off of /data/app, though.

Nope, it makes perfect sense to me. Open ID made no sense to non-computer enthusiasts (and to plenty of the enthusiasts as well). Those same people all have Facebook accounts and probably visit Facebook multiple times a day. They trust Face

It looks like it's simply checking to see if CSS is being inlined in responses. The page source is pretty simple, and it looks like it's doing everything on the client side. A CSS file is being included as the first link in the HEAD, and t

Which link are you referring to? I went down back to where the tweets stopped looking to be referring to the incident. To do so, I took many seconds to click "more" repeatedly. Every link I saw either didn't response to expand (post.ly) or

You can mock me all you want, but communicating effectively with your customers, especially during a "crisis", is important. It will affect how people perceive your product and your ability to continue to provide it. If they want to monetiz

And rather than posting any useful details in the twitter feed they simply spam it with @replies saying the same thing. Oh, and post.ly links which are also affected by the apparent DDOS. It would be vastly more beneficial to post a link to

To add to the list, Notepad++ (hold down alt and click+drag, I believe) does this, as does Eclipse (although it's annoying to enable in Eclipse (shift+alt+a to toggle it on, then block select, then toggle it off). It also only seems to work

I've often heard an argument for pay dating sites over free ones is that the people on the pay sites are more serious about it. On sites like OkCupid, you can run into people who are just basically trolling profiles (or just in it for the q

UI comments - If I press enter on title, don't create, move me to the first item. If I press enter/tab on items and I'm on the last one, give me an extra one. I shouldn't need to click a mouse button to add more tasks to the list.

I remember reading an article about how a certain set of traffic lights (I think in New York City) were left on entirely automatic cycling - at least on Shabbat for the Orthodox Jewish community. I can't find the article anymore. The disabl

The mouse is definitely dead. I killed it and replaced it with a thumb-track ball ages ago. It's absurdly bulky, but it is almost always in my laptop bag. The trackpads on the Mac laptops are indeed nice to use, but it's still nicer to have

That is good to see. I'm pretty sure I and some other people commented negatively about it in another post. It might work, but I think it falls under the group of things to not do, even if they do work.

Time to add conversionvoodoo.com to my hosts file. That "sign up for our newsletter" popup is absurdly obnoxious.

It seems to be working for cooking subjects, too ( http://cooking.stackexchange.com ). That might just be because it's overrun with geeks right now. There's a pretty strong overlap between code and food hacking, so that could help explain i

They poorly handle the OS requirements (both in terms of implementation and notification). I had to go into the FAQ to find this: > Spoon currently supports Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8, Firefox 3 and 3.5, and Safari 2, 3, and 4, on th

I was skeptical from the title. My first thought was "isn't this what EC2, and every other VPS provider does?" I have to admit, your pitch won me over - this looks interesting. On second thought, you did say "web", not "internet". I'm so us

So this seems to be what spotify is supposed to bring us, but actually working in the US? I use Rhapsody (on Android), but the lack of offline mode is making it frustrating. If this has that working on Android, it's got my interest. The no

Agreed. Or a stylized map (some geolocation magic would be nice) that lets you click in your general area then select the exact city of interest. The Craigslist city picker is bad, but the paged list is worse. Keep in mind one of the big C

I use Android's talk feature all of the time. For navigation, for web searches, for "typing" out SMS messages. It's not great, but it's often significantly better than typing on either the hardware or software keyboard. Recognition quality

I almost always look at the comments first. Enough so that I wish the RSS went to HN not the linked article. If the comments are detailed, I usually click through. Since I open more articles than I am really interested in, I have maybe a 50

It's an interesting project. I grabbed it and wrote a quick Flickr FS. It seems that it's a little limited for really laggy webservices in that you specify the type of an entry (directory, folder) by the type of data you return, and it call
