There's been some recent studies that suggest a cooler temperature is better for quality of sleep and improves insulin sensitivity [1]. There's another company that sells pads that can lower the temperature of the bed [2]. [1]: h

I think Anonabox will have more success than Safeplug because it's open source. Selling a black box to the privacy conscious never sounded like a good idea.

What bugs me is the developer hadn't touched Mou in a year and was trying to sell it at one point [1]. Then some developers decided to make an open source version of it called MacDown [2], which rubbed the Mou developer the wrong way,

As other people mentioned, most of what you described is offered through credit unions. But most credit unions are small and don't have the capacity to offer great online/mobile experiences. I would be interested to see a project

1) The Register call-to-action isn't clear what the result will be. Does it create an event? Will it let me download the app? How is this different than creating an account in the app? Can I not create an account in the app? 2) The flo

I literally laughed out loud when I read the title. My first thought was it was an app that helps people run naked through college campuses. EDIT: The about page seems to subtly imply that's what it's for.

Overall I think it was a well thought out response to the petition. However, I think the exposure that Americans have to the metric system was played up. Yes, it's been taught in schools but lack of practical use in everyday life means it w

A couple pieces of feedback I have: I would move the video higher up or make the hero a video/gif of it in use. It hadn't clicked for me what the app did until I watched the video that's halfway down the page. All the information before it

Unfortunately, this is the first thing I thought of too. Around half of my coworkers are redditors and they probably wouldn't get past the name enough to give it a fighting chance. Edit: if you don't know what it is, don't look it up. Serio

This is an excellent suggestion. By doing more of the work for me by informing me which heart monitors work well with your system removes one of the common barrier with adopting a new system. That is, how much effort will it take to get thi

I clicked on the link really excited about learning how to control the minds of my friends and family so I could finally get them to do my bidding but was slightly disappointed to learn it only helped me control my own mind. But seriously,

No part of this addresses what he did wrong or what he will do differently in the future. The title alone tells me he's just trying to get the last word in, even if it's that he's sorry.

Only for the user. Facebook probably still keeps those messages around for 5+ years.

Try viewing it on a mobile device. Not only will you not know what they're trying to say, you won't be able to read it.
