Is this really needed? It really inconveniences the recipient. They cannot copy and paste the email. This can sometimes be important. Often private emails contain usernames, passwords or urls. You cannot view emails on multiple computers wi

It's all down to ignorance really isn't it. Isolated incidents by themselves aren't really a big deal. Idiots are everywhere. Sometimes people just don't think before speaking. Sometimes the odd jibe is actually amusing. Of course when the

I have no idea what you are on about to be honest. Surely in this context generate == produce. I don't really get how you could take what I wrote as 'these guys made content "magically appear" in their event description'.

pfft... like I said "What is this 'Women:' bit about?" I didn't realise that they had listed women explicity as a perk. I just thought it was a bad bit of copy. I didn't see their original site and as it has now been taken down. I thought t

What exactly was sexist about what they did? """Women: Need another beer? Let one of our friendly (female) event staff get that for you.""" Perhaps the quote is missing context, I found it here: http://philomousos.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/ho

I disagree with the post. """The slope of this graph is the whole story. The complicated general purpose computers are at the bottom, and the simpler specialized computers are at the top.""" This is a terrible graph. The Mac has always been

I feel the same way unfortunately. I really wanted to like DDG but compared to Google I just found it a little too slow. I really like the bang syntax and well.. the search engine as a whole I guess. I think it is the lack of Google style a

It's bullsh*t. I agree that a person doesn't need to actually visit a country to face extradition. I agree that the US should be able to extradite people who break their laws and harm American citizens and business. However this doesn't loo

This makes you wonder about the current supply of talented developers. Where has that supply gone? I see no reason why Twitter would aquire Posterous for any reason other than the experience that the staff have. As far as I am aware Postero

This is the least exciting thing I have seen today. There are hundreds of these throw away games which are nothing more than a time sink and contain no more depth than an A4 sheet of paper. So there is an new/improved platform store to buy/

I completely agree with the article though I think it misses what the iPad 3 is. I think most tech commenators miss the point. Apple isn't a traditional tech company. The majority of Apples 'new products' aren't new at all. They are just a

The message seems to be... Only 8 accounts were affected. Do not worry. Minor breach. Not much harm done. It seems to me the truth is the attacker looked for bitcoin wallets and emptied them. The fact he could identify 8 accounts and access

This site is good because it pokes Apple into action. However this seems like a temporary problem. It was pulled because of a problem on Apples end. There are a lot of companies who want an app in the app store or help with something. Its n

I sympathise with the developers plight and this is a reason why I haven't wanted to get into App development. If your not battling people cloning your games, you have a constant axe swinging above your head that the app store may find faul

I wonder if this can really make an impact with a bad name and all the patent trolls around. If you look at the patent wars between Android / iOS and Microsoft I wonder how many patents have been infringed knowingly or not in Mozilla's offe

If a Death Star takes a couple of decades of build wouldn't be obsolete by the time its finished? Also, I am not that into Star Wars but I understand that the Death Star is big? Like a small planet right? Wouldn't it just be cheaper to take

I am really into 'do what works for you'. You may find that that sleeping in two 4 hour blocks changes your life. You feel alive! Alternatively you may find yourself more tired. Personally I like sleeping 8-9 hours a night. I find myself fa

I don't see why affiliate programs would have an issue here. If Pinterest didn't exist they wouldn't be getting the traffic. Pinterest has every right to monetize their website in the least intrusive way possible. These referal links are tr

I thought things had been like this for a while now. A year ago Wired magazine had a good article about a guy who ran a site buying and selling credit card details and law enforcements attempts to catch him. The computer had full disk encry

Hmm. """What binds us all together is a strong belief that what we do is good.""" What is 'good' about the pirate bay? A site which is 95% dedicated to sharing copyrighted content? The Pirate Bay exists to make money for its founders. This

Call me heartless... a job needs doing. Someone is doing it. If Apple ran these factories then yes, boycott them. However they don't. They hire Chinese companies to put their products together. This is a China problem not an Apple problem.

I am going to chime in being negative against the wave of positive feedback here. Twitter has done well releasing this and when I first saw it ages ago it looked neat and fairly professional. However, like a pop song which has been complete

I would guess that would depend where the hosting resides. If the host is non-US then it is out of the courts jurisdiction. You need to think about the cost to the hosting company. I assume they are holding a lot of data and a large number

Surely the prosecutors loose their case if the data goes. Doesn't the defense shift from 'we moderated content, majority was legal' to 'prove that we hosted illegal content'. With the data deleted isn't it like trying to commit someone of m

What scares me most is how many people here seem to think it is OK or 'not that bad'. I don't know a designer who hasn't or doesn't draw inspiration from other websites. However, that process goes something like this... 1) Look at website.

I was wondering why more websites weren't already doing this when SOPA/PIPA were on the horizon. The US has a problem with politics and when that problem endangers the internet, to me at least, the simplest solution is to block US users. It
