I realize I'm not your target user-base, (I browse with no-script and don't own any social media accounts) but you should know that without javascript to load your fonts the default "cursive" font for most people is going to be (what appear

Where I live you can walk into a shop, buy a smart phone, then pop in a sim card and be off. Can you not do this in the US? You don't pay any monthly service and I don't see how the carrier you have chosen to buy a sim card from has any bas

I think that is opening up a can of worms I would rather not see opened. Technically caching could be seen as copyright infringement. Quite a few ISP's run transparent proxies for caching and technically every time you visit a website you a

Once upon a time I used to love zenhabits. I used to look at what Leo had accomplished (losing weight, living minimally, doing what you love (blogging) and building a business around it etc.) and thought he was worth listening too. Over tim

I can't agree that e-ink is a dead end. Perhaps you have never had the opportunity to spend some serious time to compare reading on an LCD screen to a e-ink display. Tablets are great, but as long as they still have LCD (backlit etc.) scree

You really should have a fallback page for browsers with no Javascript. NoScript has become increasing popular and the "Javscript Free" page of a site is the first page those users will see (even if they go on to temporarily allow javascrip
