If it turns out our entire universe is a simulation anyway, then what's the difference? The cruise ships walls are a simulation of a simulation, and our memories of them after returning home are a simulation of a simulation of a simula

I bought a 4-letter domain (edofo.com) on Namecheap for the standard .com price but now don't know what to do with it. It just sounded like a good company/product name.

Hangul is great, but don't try to use it for English. Try writing "Larry really loves the zoo very much". You get "Raeri ri-a-ri reo-beu-seu da joo bae-ri meo-chi". In other words, you lose the L/R and V/B

Actually, the prices are right on target for Seoul, South Korea. Unlike most websites of this sort, I'm surprised to find the information accurate.

"Forensic reconstruction after a famous restaurant fire in the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Kentucky confirmed that many of the victims sought to pay before leaving, and so died in a queue." This is surprising altruism.

I can't guess how many web apps have lost me because, instead of signing up right then and there, they waited a few weeks to put a beta link in my mailbox. By then, I'd moved on. You don't sell anything by telling your custo

"Sorry, flights from South Korea are not currently supported." Which is fine, because local websites always have 30%+ cheaper rates than ITAsoftware, Hipmunk et al.

Is it crazy for Apple to use its money to create its own "bank", then loan itself the money needed for a buyout?

This is great! To make it even more quicklook-like, what I'd like to see is an option to: * change keyboard combo to Spacebar (I never use it while browsing anyway) * on keycombo press, open the link the mouse is currently hovering over, w

This is fantastic! I teach classes and need a quick way to jot something onto the screen. The one piece that's really missing for me, or 2 pieces really, is the ability to make big headers and bulleted lists. If you could process Markdow

I live in South Korea and can't get to San Francisco for a 12-week stretch. But you have a tremendous idea here and I'd love to be a student. If you could compress the in-class time to 4 weeks and let me do the rest remotely, and offer a p

They could trivially bring Google Maps from iOS5 to iOS6... if Apple wanted them to.

Task List apps occupy this interesting position in which, in the long run, it's easier for developers to build the thing (tweaking one or two costs/benefits) than for users to switch to using it. Other things in this category include: web b

I live in South Korea and use KakaoTalk ("Katok"). I haven't exchanged phone numbers with a Korean in the past year who didn't already have the app. I know because the moment I add a phone number to my iPhone address book, KakaoTalk notic

Right now, he's presenting general stuff that everyone in the room already knows, including him. It's just a summary of the status of the project up to now. He could have practiced this 6 months ago. Aaaand... at this very second he's star

Why is the speaker in such a rush? He seems to be under a constant time-crunch. He keeps saying he's going to go over time and that he'll speed up. Didn't he practice this before? Can't he just tell us what he wants to tell us, and skip o

Wouldn't Apple or Google be able to prevent others from stealing out their domain names from under them? Wouldn't Steve Jobs or Bill Gates be able to? I don't know the law with regard to this, so I wonder if you're right, and there really

Fantastic! Thanks for pointing that out; I don't know how I missed it. Our printers are set for A4, so trying to print letter-size causes them to beep and refuse to print without user intervention.
