And has a better UI than their normal version (to me, anyway). It's kinda cool that twitter has a fully functional backup site already online.
When we were looking to buy a house, Street View allowed us to see what the neighboring area looked like; listings rarely include details like "surrounded by three auto-repair shops" or "half of the houses on the block…
Perl, especially when parsing and manipulating text files. Still the best glue language between applications that don't like each other, such as when the output from one is incompatible with the input of the other (of…
dosbox is awesome; from time to time, I play a game of Master of Orion and still have so much fun. Being able to play it on my ubuntu box and android tablet is cool... ok, it's cool to me. Back to topic: I wouldn't mind…
An all-time high of 87F doesn't cut it for you? For me, a place that never reaches the 90s is near-paradise. Also, Icelanders tend to be educated and friendly; I spent over a week in Reykjavik in February 2010 and…
My answer would be: that's not how I would choose as it would box me into only using a limited number of parameters. Each offer must be viewed and compared as a whole, where multiple smaller benefits may outweigh a…
> we believe the best ethics panel will come from the users Not when it comes to HIPAA compliance. This isn't about finding the best ethical code of conduct for privacy (which can be tricky), but simply abiding by…
Who needs an "official" ICS? I've installed a beta ICS ROM (teamDRH) on my Viewsonic gTablet and it is as tabletized as honeycomb, though it looks better (this build has issues, but developer support is pretty…
There are plenty who would react the same way if it had been Microsoft instead of Google - in this specific case, I would initially give either a cautious benefit of the doubt. It's not 1999 anymore, most people have…
CPU for the Aakash tablet is an Arm11 clocked at 366Mhz... This thing will be slow. Basically, another Maylong M-150 (search for "worst gadget ever") Their Ubislate tablet is better than the Aakash, though.…
Shouldn't it be "Hiring Employee #2" instead? When starting a business, you should always pay employee #1 (yourself) even if it is a small amount at first. Many businesses fail because the founders forgot this simple…
raises hand Can't say I love it but it pays the bills; you'd be surprised at the number of companies that still use it to a degree. Thankfully, CF these days is much improved compared to when I first heard about it…
I haven't used an adblocker in years; I do use flashblock and nuke anything (to remove ads that appear over content). Just these two are enough to deal with the most annoying ones, the rest of the ads don't bother me…
It doesn't need to be in the same league. Getting a "real" multipurpose tablet for the price of an e-ink reader will be compelling enough for many consumers, assuming performance is not abysmal (meaning not a heir to…
I remember when Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" series was first shown on PBS; the episode when the Drake equation was covered was one of my favorite, although even as a teen I understood how small were the chances of finding…

We just call a car service since we're close to a couple of airports; while proximity and being dropped at the terminal save time, even if all goes well we're still talking at least two hours.
