It sounds like a similar idea to what Atari launched. https://atari.com/pages/atari-vcs Let's hope Steam put a bit more effort into it than Atari have.

Hmm... What's up with this page? "Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition has blocked a page! Malware detected! Access to this page has been blocked." Any idea what's in there tripping out Bitdefender?

I love the RT news channel but cannot comprehend what good any military action by Russia will bring. Well done to Abby for adding her strong personal opinion, not to be outvoiced by that of the state.

I think the site may be down. Visiting http://www.healthcare.gov gives me an upside down IIS7 logo! http://www.healthcare.gov/welcome.png (I'm in the UK)

Google Now is great if you travel a lot by road and have regularly occurring destinations and/or at regular times. It has a great ability to predict "Are you going to xyz?" - If you answer yes, it already knows where you are

Anything with a good consistent rhythm and beat is good for me. I particularly find that (surprisingly!) liquid Drum & Bass helps get you in 'the zone' of concentration.

Serious call centres are red hot on data protection, at least here in the UK. I can imagine these being useful there. That said, with 200+ of these little things in one building i can imagine the bluetooth range might get a tad busy!

Always keep to two pages maximum. I have a lightly coloured header with my name in large letters at the head of page 1, the rest in a nice, clear, structured list of skills and previous jobs. If I remember later on I'll link it up here

If you're looking for an aestheticaly pleasing desktop with lots of shiny, Ubuntu and Mint are the still the flavours of the month. As a proper computer user, mind, add another +1 to CrunchBang Linux. Works great on my desktop as it ve

And I thought I was the only one doing this! It's an excellent idea if your code evolves too much to keep up with approximate line numbers alone.

Bring back embedding folders in folders in the bookmarks (Speed Dial) and it's a winner. I was an Opera user for years but moved to Chrome when the odd site would break now and then. I'd love to go back to Opera, I'm actually

If I need deep concentration when programming then I find Drum & Bass works a treat. The music is fast, making your mind tick a bit faster and there are very few lyrics to get distracted by.

CrunchBang is great and can be summed up in a few words: Tidy, clean, works. End of. :)

I can sense your anti-Google stance immediately there so I won't feed the trolls but if it's not a re-branded Hotmail, what is it? It's hardly a groundbreaking new concept. (Also, you can switch off the stupid compose window so where's the
