Your review feels a bit like an affiliate sales letter. In case this is an affiliate product, you should disclose that. On a substantive level, I think all file managers should have tagging, smartly filtered collections (a la itunes "smart

I use Ubuntu as my exclusive desktop OS. Ubuntu / Linux has far bigger problems than Unity. (Jump to point 5 for conclusion). 1. There are huge regressions. With the upgrade to 11.10 my laptop's battery life has been cut from 5-6 hours to 2

I only played around with it a long time ago. Very interesting language indeed. You may also like Ioke ( http://ioke.org/ ) - a jvm based language that is directly inspired by Io.

Yeah, these are definitely cheaper. I remember seeing these and similar ones before. I think they may be below satisfactory for professional use, though. The range is a bit limited (29-39 inches - too tall for short people sitting and too s

The brand situation in Europe is very different. One of the cheaper ones that looks decent (haven't seen it IRL though), is the below for 499 Euros. http://aktivshop.de/catalog/elektrisch-hhenverstellbarer-sch... The following page has a

This is something I want to experiment with as well. I tend to play music and shuffle, dance and pace around for movement while standing. The thing that keeps me from going with a treadmill desk is that I switch from casual tasks (email, et

I've played with that setup as well and it works ok, but not great. One problem is that the bar stools are hard to get on and then move to be positioned properly. Another problem is that leaning against the edge often doesn't work well, bec

Thanks. I took your suggestion verbatim. :)

The slouching when in the zone is true for me as well, which is why the pure standing or standing / tall sitting are not a good option for me personally. They just kill certain types of productivity. Adjustable sit-stand desks are just unbe

There are two significant aspects for these desks: 1. Do they cover the sitting and standing range (or just some variable sitting range)? 2. Can you adjust the height without taking everything off your desk? Regarding 1: There are some desk

I agree, they are expensive, and I'm actually planning on adding a do-it-yourself section with solutions like the one you've referenced. Some people pay a lot of money for fancy office chairs though (Aerons for example), and I'd always advi

45 points and no comments? I've been playing around with html5 local storage, and it's kind of cool for speeding up some operations by caching data that is frequently used, but like any caching, expiration is still potentially tricky. Also,

Thanks for your answer. I'm very excited about the project, esp. with a future server sync api (as mentioned in the roadmap). Perhaps I then could finally write a decent evernote client for linux. :)

How, if at all, are you going to protect the ruby source code?

I used to get Hi5 invite spam. Perhaps they're just bitter that Zynga is better at spamming. Let's face it, all these "social" companies use default opt-in and "let's spam your address book" and other unethical "viral" features - simply bec

Both root comments so far complain about the UI changes - I really don't get it. I've switched between OSX, Win, Linux, and the button issue is trivial (OSX has top left buttons). I couldn't give two shits about whether to yank the mouse to

This is not personas, it's simple theming. An actually useful persona feature would allow cookie profiles/sessions that can be run in parallel (per window, for example) to log into several gmail accounts at once, segment my search identitie

It's probably mainly a business decision (admin hassle) milked for PR. Let's not politicize things too much, and let's not forget that GoDaddy doesn't exactly have a stellar ethical record as well. They are quick to censor speech [1], delis
