fwr··on Apple releases U2 album removal tool

http://itunes.com/soi-remove

This is a direct link. It looks like a scam website, especially the form that pops up after you press "Remove Album". I would never trust that if I were a person literate enough to know where not to enter your passwords, but not enough to know about SSL certificates.

fwr··on Why does Outlook map Ctrl+F to Forward instead of Find?

The character is P - until recently I thought it was supposed to be an initial, since the sentence begins with "Please"

fwr··on Why does Outlook map Ctrl+F to Forward instead of Find?

Perhaps a better question to ask is why Outlook maps "alt+s" to send, which is how the "ś" diacritic in Polish is typed (also "ß" in German) resulting in all kinds of funny/awkward situations in which incomplete e-mails are sent.

fwr··on Call me maybe: MongoDB (2013)

You missed an opportunity to say that you need to rethink using it.

fwr··on Show HN: Brix for Bootstrap

There's something really distinctive about the kind of English that Polish people (especially the ones confident in their language skills) use in writing, it's really easy to tell.

fwr··on We'd lose our security certificate if we allowed pasting

Do you not have to confirm outgoing wire transfers by inputting a code sent to your phone?

~104m doesn't break a billion.

fwr··on Moto 360

I thought this disclaimer was needed only for TV ads.

fwr··on Soulseek is still alive

Absolutely. I have accounts on both what and waffles and use them once every few months only to avoid get banned for inactivity.

fwr··on Soulseek is still alive

Alive and thriving - there's no better source for lesser known music. It has replaced private music trackers for me completely, since the selection is great and community is much less elitist.

fwr··on Github was down

Gee, who are these random nobodies? http://telegram.org/faq#q-who-are-the-people-behind-telegram

fwr··on Airbnb says this man does not exist. So I had coffee with him

To be fair, there are a lot of other ways to "make a killing" in HFT which are not developing software and algorithms for hedge funds or large banks.

fwr··on It's practically impossible for regular people to buy Bitcoin

Did you read the article at all? How is mining BTC an option for regular people? Have you attempted to purchase a foreign currency? It's usually a two-click operation at most.

It's a wet dog.

Elon Musk does this? THE NEW BIG THING

fwr··on Android KitKat

Peter Brabeck (then CEO of Nestlé) on free drinking water: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyAzxmN2s0w

I don't see why his viewpoint causes so much controversy - from an entepreneurial standpoint, which should be welcomed here - you can't deny him credit for rationality.

fwr··on Beyond Helvetica: The Real Story Behind Fonts in iOS 7

Mr. Ive is not the only employee of Apple

fwr··on Russian Proton Rocket crashes Seconds after Launch

Such a terrible commentary in the video.

fwr··on Facebook in talks to buy Waze for $1B

Somebody tell Facebook there are different amounts of money they can spend on things before they run themselves to the ground!

fwr··on Thai character ก็็็็็ (ก) gets rendered in a strange way

Strange, mine was from Safari on OS X.
