   Silly computer manufacturers still haven't figured out that they can preload Ubuntu for $0 per device... :P

   I actually just recently looked in to the 1015E, and I almost bought one but then decided to get a Samsung Chromebook. My top requirements were battery life, portability, and at least a 1366x768 screen (so that ruled out most 10" syste

   I was just reading the Wikipedia article about crystal radios yesterday. Does this have anything to do with them?

   Yes, especially since the card type is typically in the bottom corner of the card, so for a while it just looks like it's reloading the same image.

   "wear a t shirt and jeans" I was always told "dress one level above the job you're applying for". Is that different in the tech world or the startup world?

   I would love to read this article, but quartz.com is horribly broken in Opera Mobile on my phone... I'll just wait and read it on my laptop, but this does look like a sign of Webkit bringing back the days of sites "best viewed in

    Thanks, Quartz is literally unusable on my phone.

    I went to sign up for Twitter and found that my usual username was taken by someone with exactly one tweet, from 4 years ago! It's definitely frustrating.

    > In other words, you have to do more work to get it to work. Last I checked, making a Hackintosh was a lot of work (when it's even possible). And that's what happens when installing OS X on 95% of hardware.

    Doesn't Linux technically have better hardware support than Windows, too? I've seen many laptops where a fresh install of Windows will be very broken until you load up the manufacturer's pile of drivers. Linux just has more u

    And I seem to remember something about Google requiring all apps to light up the screen, to avoid the whole "stealth" thing.

    I'm using Opera Mobile on Android 2.3 and it reflows text nicely. It has some other problems, but it's far better than the stock browser!

    Or just button:focus{ outline:none; }. That should remove focus styling on all browsers, last I checked.

    Yeah, I also noticed that POP doesn't work with Zoho on my Nexus. I switched to IMAP and it works fine.

    I actually just switched my personal email over to Zoho today (before reading this). It's pretty nice; I was surprised not to see it mentioned here as a Gmail/Google Apps alternative.

    Actually, SVG can use "classes" just like CSS, so it could be easily recolored in SVG too.

    I don't know much about SEO; is "over-optimized" just a euphemism for "spammy"?

    I just use Unity on my computers, but I tried out Pantheon today (in elementary OS) and it's seriously cool. The window management is fairly similar to Unity but more streamlined, and the workspaces are vastly superior. The panel and dock a

    I have a Dell Mini with a tiny SSD, and I use selective sync to only sync my Documents folder. I then symlinked ~/Documents to ~/Dropbox/Documents. It works quite nicely. (and I do sync a few other folders, this is just an example)

    Instead of a bunch of comments just saying "this is cool", it has some upvotes. When people leave specific feedback it's usually criticism.

    I don't know of any company that's still making new netbooks, so unfortunately that option might not last too long. I like tablets, but I hate them for killing the netbook market!

    I think my first experience with programming was a Rexx app on an old Palm OS device back in elementary school. I made an interactive fiction game, if I remember correctly.

    I have that option enabled, and it just defaults to 360p. As far as I can tell, that option just makes it not increase the resolution when you click full screen.

    I've seen many games that let you "earn" ingame currency by downloading apps or completing surveys. A few of these games _indirectly_ require you to download the incentivized apps by providing very few coins in the actual game, or making th

    Opera Mobile was one of the first things I installed on my Gingerbread phone, but more for the UI than the rendering.
