-term still works. I guess Google+ needs the plus sign for something, so now "quoted" "terms" will include both quoted and terms, but not only as "quoted terms" but also "terms quoted". It's a bit of bother to use quotes when explicitly dem

Dropbox's situation seems extremely precarious. Most users have less than 2 GB of data. That's not lock-in, that's a few minutes of moving. I have about 15.000 high-resolution tagged photos on flickr - that's lock-in. Simplicity and transpa

There's nothing to laugh at. It's just bad. Offensive is besides the point, that's how bad it is. Humour used to be ancillary, now the shooting is so bad, the design feels haphazard and the whole thing is so linear that self-references and

"Unlike those who have gone before, we don’t want to be the sole guarantor of quality in our ecosystem, because that will not scale" -- that's a good remark.

Public profiles can be automatically harvested? Curl and wget should be classified as munitions and access to those tools restricted in at least 45 states. Shut. Down. Everything.

I have found the perfect diet (or, rather "weight control algorithm"), have lost about 60 pounds and haven't gained them back for a couple of years now. The algorithm is extremely simple: "If you ate yesterday, don't eat today." It means I

A most interesting exchange, on reflection I find Dyson's reaction intellectually honest and quite consistent. There's lots to read between the lines here.

To quote: "My intelligence is in the cloud. My life is in the cloud. My friends, photographs, ideas and mail. My life. My mind. Take away my cloud and I am left mindless. Mindless, unattached, not clinging... a proper Nirvana.

Well, I imagine most Android users prefer GPL-licensed software, which is overwhelmingly also free as in beer. I know I do. CyanogenMod and FLOSS cover the majority of what I need from a phone-computer-thingy. For instance, I needed some GP

Gnome 3 Alpha, codenamed "Jumping the Shark". So many things shown are ridiculous - the spacing, the truncated titles in the ribbon-thingy, the seeming changes in the concept of workspaces. Why are dropbox and the wireless-thingy broken off

I don't believe I'm reading such reactionary scaremongering FUD from Ars. Google supporting (and helping develop) an open codec with no royalties attached is construed as a BAD THING?
