Hah, I always thought M+ 1m was my little secret that I had discovered; apparently it's the fifth most popular coding font. It's significantly more narrow than most monospaced fonts while still being easy to read, allowing for mor

I used OwnCloud for a while and never had any problems with it, but it seemed like overkill for my use. I didn't have multiple users and I wasn't using it to share files with anyone -- just syncing files between my own devices. I

The title is accurate. People think of Firefox OS as a smartphone operating system; Mozilla is killing that off. They may be reusing the name on something else, but Firefox OS, (as we know it right now,) is being discontinued.

Also worth mentioning: Chrome for Android did this last year. GP was asking about iOS, but it's not an iOS-specific thing.

- Most updates are being reviewed within 7 weeks. - Most preliminary reviews are being reviewed within 10 weeks. I know people have complained about the long approval processes for Firefox addons, but I had no idea it was so absurd.

It is definitely convenient -- in fact, using one system exclusively almost always provides the best user experience. (Apple has had great success with that idea.) Having Pocket bundled with eBook readers and browsers is convenient, but tha

This looks exactly like Shout[1]. This seems to be an IRC channel, and you have a web interface (using Shout) hosted on your domain, with some of Shout's features removed so that people can't use it to connect to other IRC server

They've said that they don't intend to support this because the web interface has features like previewing images and editing ODF docs. So, in order for that to work, the server has to be able to read the actual file. As others ha

I don't think so. PGP scrambles the text of the message for you (that's the body), but you're still using the standard email protocol, which sends attachments without making changes to them. You'd need to encrypt the fil

True, but I think you could say the same thing about git. It's a big bundle of binaries, and there aren't alternatives available that you can swap in and out. And yet, git is seen as the perfect example of the Unix philosophy. Peo

I'm really excited about this. I recently installed Firefox OS 1.4 on my cheapo ZTE Open (it came with 1.0), and the difference is huge. I thought I heard somewhere that they are shooting for 2.0 in July. Ignore everything this article

It'd be great if there was a compiler that would compile TypeScript to asm.js [0]. Adding type-safety in TypeScript is only for the programmer -- when you compile it to Javascript, you don't get any performance increase. But, if y

Dang! I'm sure they'll discontinue it soon, seeing as how there's no point for both Zite and Flipboard to exist under the same company. I stopped using Zite because it didn't allow you to read things offline, and I think
