I'm not sure why you were getting downvoted because the one thing that stuck out to me, after saying to myself "Huh, I'd love to get one of those to play around with." was that in the marketing page [1] it said "Go

When I read stuff like this I try reeeeal hard to not immediately dismiss it as @hipsterhacker stereotypes, but weird groupthink like this shocks me. Keeping data that is by it's nature relational in a relational database is, to my min

A couple of thoughts (including some commentary on the article itself- sorry I couldn't help it). The central idea of this article, which is that slowing DVD sales due to the explosion of streaming options are slashing profit margins,

In today's deficit boogeyman environment I can't say that extra revenue isn't a consideration, but really the tax was to attempt to stem a runaway financial system that has become the blood-sucking vampire squid[1] that's taking more and mo

I've had several Fitbit's and own the Withings scale; love them to pieces. My early Fitbit's broke when I sat down and caught them on the arms of a chair (once at a beer garden, natch) but the new Flex bracelet is incredibly nice.

Ah; FYI the API now supports Intraday Time Series fetching. See https://wiki.fitbit.com/display/API/API-Get-Intraday-Time-Se... for more information. You can retrieve data in 1 min or 15 min increments.

Wow, that worked incredibly well; thanks for the tip! 1080p videos load extremely quickly now.

U-Verse subscriber here. I have 25Mbps down and I'm glad someone else is noticing this. I first noticed it early of Summer 2012 that 1080p videos were (literally) unplayable; as in no matter how long you waited the video would never start.

My four-month-old rMBP's screen failed last week and now I'm staring at replacing it out-of-pocket, or never using it as a portable machine again and leaving it hooked up to an external monitor. I'm so unhappy with Apple right now. EDIT: I
