I don't use an Adblocker, but I did recently disable plugins by default because I was getting some massive performance issues from Flash (Chrome on Ubuntu 12.10). It has massively improved my browsing experience having grey place-holder box

I'm enjoying the new mobile design. My initial reaction was not positive, I saw the similarities to the FB mobile app with the swipe right menu and I thought "oh no." But quickly I found it much more intuitive to use than the previous grid

I'm from New Zealand but have travelled in the US and lived in the UK. The difference is service. You get it in the US. I remember it in every store. Initially I thought it was intimidating because I was not used to it. But after a few mo

This is really interesting for me. I've infringed a bit of copyright in my time. Cassettes when I was young, VHS from TV (I cut the ads out - does that count?) my high school physics teacher gave us photocopied exercises with clear copyrig

This reminds me a lot of Penny Arcade, I started reading it 10 years ago for the video game commentary but I've really enjoyed watching the quality of the writing and comics improve to such a world class level over time.

I may be the only one who likes this. I've recently been looking for an old commodore 64 for nostalgic reasons, there is no practical reason to own one unless you're a demo purest. But I'm also in the market for an HD media player and the

Just watched the kickstarter video but with my headphones pluggeded into 'The Prodigy: Fighter Beat' by accident. It made their video very cool. Sorry for the lack of value - I just wanted to share.

I much prefer ramen profitable, I think it will be a shame if Pizza profitable becomes wide spread. I'd never heard it before the article, and I stopped reading to come and comment. It's obviously something we all relate to considering it

I've got to +1 for YUI3. I started researching the space for building real Javascript applications fully biased on doing it with x and JQuery. But after a bit of research and prototyping I was sold on the quality and coverage of YUI. - It

My issue with GTD and trying to use a todo system is there seems to be an assumption that you are able to quantify the time/effort to do each of your daily tasks. Developing software and solving problems all day I can't often gauge by looki

Sometimes I wonder whether I'd have be better off if I had a low paying second job rather than wasting countless hours outside of my 9-5 trying to boot strap start ups. I'm lucky I just love hacking.

I'm happy with the technical stuff. I've used Trac, BitBucket and tried Git Hub before. I haven't run Git on Dropbox but I could see how that makes the backed up repo nice and easy. But making projects presentable to potential clients/use

not at all. you're hip and not afraid to publish subtle memes for the sake of others who get the joke. If this just a fun mashup with no future use no loss. If it's a start of something bigger I got a bad first impression. Your not serio

I'd drop the description on the Music/Movies overview page and add a recent/popular review. get the content of the site one step closer. when the user drills in then give them the description/synopsis. Have faith in your content! Thats w
