Orbital and Banco de Gaia on repeat soundtracked my CS degree. Both artists’ work from that era still hold up.

Has anyone ever debunked or repeated the food-coloured white wine test? I've heard this one before and it always seemed very strange to me as white and red wines have such clearly distinguishable characteristics.

I actually find the omnibar incredibly frustrating, as I know when I want to search and I know when I want to find something from my history. For me, these are separate tasks and combining them makes me slower because I have to mentally fil

My behaviour is pretty much the same — Safari for personal browsing, Chrome for dev. Chrome is very nice, but Safari is a lot more "solid", especially when it comes to 3D Transforms and other advanced features. Safari 5.1 on Lion isn't a li

Having used this extensively for development and testing over the past several hours, this is definitely "beta", but it's nice to see Google making the effort here. Unfortunately for Chrome, Safari 5.1 has set a new standard for gesture su

Fans of The Fridge might want to consider Minigroup ( https://minigroup.com ). It's less about the social and more about communication and collaboration, but we share their idea of private, defined groups. We'd love to have you :)

I remember reading somewhere that the reason they called the company Netflix (and not something like, say, Mailflix) was that the distribution model was always intended to be flexible.

His scene lip-syncing to the Killers in Southland Tales is one of my favourite cinematic moments from the past few years. Which is saying a lot because that movie is awful in such a unique and special way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ

If the app is using the background GPS process, there's already an indicator in the title bar (the little purple arrow) showing that the GPS is being used.

Unless you want to move the window, in which case trying to click on those 15 remaining pixels above the tab bar is very difficult (at least on OS X, not sure if it's different on Windows).

Which is why I don't understand Apple's terrible default mouse acceleration profile. On a 27" iMac, even set to "fast" it's 2 swipes of the mouse across the desk to go corner to corner. It's one of the few areas of OS X that I consider brok
