> What were they thinking? Facebook has designed a feature which makes me hate my friends. That's funny. It's a little like chalk and cheese. I had a friend on Facebook who posted political links religiously, he swamped my news feed

I have privacy concerns about Facebook, and resent the fact that it's such a silo, but in the main in succeeds where other technologies have failed. It's useful for finding people - a directory. If I want to get in touch with someone - an

That's true. An old net book or second hand laptop could be re-purposed as a NAS. I've found though that getting smooth HD out of older hardware, isn't that good. And the desktop OSs are pretty crappy on a TV. There's certainly a gap in

The difference between an Xbox say and a NAS is one of power. Low power set top boxes are a must. The amount of electronics piling up in people's houses is just ridiculous. The consoles are guzzlers - with the exception perhaps of the Wii

Try right clicking (or menu key), copy the url, open new tab (CTRL+T), go to location bar (CTRL + L), and paste (CTRL + V). It's the Javascript I think that hijacks the click.

I can't stand timeline. I find it really difficult to read them for some reason - probably something to do with having more than one column - and poor alignment - it's cognitively difficult.

Who has land rights to a brand new volcanic island?

None of us should be land owners. Stewards maybe. Unless there's enough to go round.

I use a couple of belts, that I can adjust to exactly the right length - to get a good height. The laptop sits in that like a dream and makes for a good laptop desk. With a desktop PC - I just sit the monitor somewhere practical, the key

I appreciate the portability part of the article. For me an iPad is too large. The Playbook looks like a better size. I'm hoping that the new Google tablet betters the existing offerings.

I can see that checking your email would be fine on a tablet or phone, but composing an email must be something of a nightmare?

They actually appeal to the older generation - judging from some of my family members (the over 60s.) My Aunt uses her iPad oddly enough as a camera more than anything - she loves the way she can easily show off what she has taken. Before

At home I use a keyboard stand (or rather a stand designed for an electric piano), it's adjustable for both sitting and standing, and you can easily put it away.

There's lots of good advice on building silent PCs. I actually have a roomy desktop case, a Lian Li, a passive GFX card, an energy efficient CPU and only one big CPU fan, and a pretty silent energy efficient PSU. These were all picked wit

Yes, dirty is the appropriate word here. It has a rather unsavoury feeling about it.

A far better name. I hope Facebook use this - and fill your pockets with gold.

Name spacing isn't that hard. Facebook should be able to call it Camera - and to differentiate it from another Camera app, call it Facebook Camera. Trying to trademark dictionary words is just silly.

Sounds annoying. Did you try through the firefox (registry) - about:config? Failing that you could try something like Firefox Nightly.

I bypass the search box. By adding a keyword search (inspired by Opera,) to my browser (Firefox.) Then when I want to search, I hit CTRL + L and then type something like 'dd search term' for say duck duck, then hit return. I can set up

Noise bothers me, I even get bothered by the heads resting in a hard drive. It seems that the quieter you get your environment - the more bothered you can become. I've a pretty decent asus gfx card that remains unused, because it has an

Oh shucks! Nice then, but could be nicer.

Aha perhaps it wasn't so obvious from the videos I viewed. I did notice that a few people were quite desperate to turn off the unity scroll bar while on my travels looking.

Try CTRL + L to jump into the location bar (that's if you have a keyboard.) With regard to middle clicking, I assume you mean a scroll wheel on a mouse. Which some users still don't have! (I know it seems hard to believe.) Also trackpad
