People on the post's comments are suggesting that RSS only has technical followers. Really we should be talking about feeds and subscriptions. Wording needs to be friendlier: add my friend's feed or follow Kate Bush. It…
Summary: The author thinks Google+ could have been saved (or been electrified) if they had integrated Reader.
I still fail to really grasp what Google+ is. I'd actually rather a de-centralised platform. And prefer a glorious feed organiser. Very simple open comment/status feed APIs would be more beneficial for the community at…
Multiple account use is borked. I was logged in under one account the other day, but wanted to leave a Youtube comment from another. But it just wasn't possible at the time. I gave up in the end. The UI is a disparate…
The killer app for video calling, would be one in which you don't have to hold the camera. We'd rather place the phone to our ear. And the current alternative is probably nostril cam. We each need a Lakitu.
I was really excited to read the idea about advert blocking, but when I donned my glasses, this is what I saw: http://blog.ctnews.com/meyers/files/2010/11/lethem2.jpg ;)

It would be a good to compare apps to sites. The only app I installed on the Blackberry (my brief foray into smartphones...), was the independent app (newspaper), and I preferred accessing news through that than the…
That and the apparent insecurity, or my own personal lack of understanding of application security that puts me off of even owning something like an Android device. For now I'm more comfortable with web pages. It's…
I have limited mobile/smartphone/app experience. It feels that Desktop apps are sorely neglected. Spotify for example feels really ancient, a weird UI for such a popular product. I only assume the mobile versions are…
That's a good thing though right? Isn't that how a URI/link should work?
That's funny. I've always found it very readable. I have also ridiculed it in the past. Probably unfairly. These days I actually have a soft spot for the font. I really like the update.
I guess if you have your liquid waste contained within closed loop then you can get around drought issues. Making black water potable I'd guess uses more energy and resources than recycling grey. I bet a victorian…
It's suggested that there is no benefit washing your hands with hot water with regard to hygeine. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/ist/?next=/smartnews/2013/12/w... I pretty much always wash my hands with cold water,…
Ask a personal question... but do you use your other hand to scrub or just try and jet wash?
Not having foot taps is another huge bug bear of mine. Especially in public places.
I had a good book titled 'Humanure' that stated that the sitting posture is quite unnatural and drop toilets or rather throne-less were better for us. At university (UK) I couldn't work out why some toilets had shit all…
There's some software called CoFind: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1084804500... Which was a bookmarking tool, that enabled you to create your own scoring system with multiple facets. Like the…
I"d hardly say hitting one key with your finger is a keyboard shortcut. Some noobs, hate the pointer when they first encounter it, and will avoid it if possible.
On the plus side, it's a large key that does not require simultaneous key presses: holding down multiple keys at the same time is not user friendly, especially for noobs. The backspace frequently has a backwards arrow…
