jonifico··on HP confirms breakup, layoffs hit an entire Google’s worth of employees
Well, that a good bunch of people who used to have a job. A real shame to see what bad management can do.
jonifico··on Losing the sense of smell predicts death within five years
Agreed. A little over the top for me to believe it.
jonifico··on The $1,200 Machine That Lets Anyone Make a Metal Gun at Home
Totally agree. Particularly since US citizens are so obsessed with guns and violence. I mean, look at all the shootings and massacres happening, by people of all ages and races, it's crazy! Couldn't stand living in a society like that where everyone's allowed and legally motivated to keep guns.
jonifico··on The Sound So Loud That It Circled the Earth Four Times
Wow! That sounds like an amazing experience. Kind of a dumb question, but were you also impressed by how fast it goes up, or does it 'float' into the sky?
jonifico··on Takana – SCSS Live Editor
That's awesome! Glad I could help.
jonifico··on How to Come Up with Business Ideas for Your Startup
This could be quite useful. Thanks a bunch!
jonifico··on Flanby Bird – The French Presidential Version of Flappy Bird
Oh, this is going to be fun. Love political content that has nothing to do with politics, if you catch my drift.
jonifico··on Search Flickr inside Photoshop
This is going to be super useful. Thanks a bunch!
jonifico··on Apple IPhone Lust Revives Underground U.S. Market Joining China
There go, Apple. If people want it, they're still going to get it no matter where they are. And yes, resellers are still getting the phones from them, but all that extra profit they'll get is not something they might want.
jonifico··on Vast improvements seen by newest Oculus prototype
This project keeps getting better and better every time they release an update. Can't wait to see how it works!
jonifico··on 10 Growth Hacker Quotes
Found them a bit cliché, apart from not really giving any real advice I did't already know. Thanks for sharing, though.
jonifico··on The invasion of corporate news
This issue comes from the increasingly shameless attitude from corporations toward what is, plain and simple, getting money. Now there are news about multibillion dollar businesses coming up, start-ups that become successful, etc, etc. Big companies are realizing this and are starting to take action. Ugly action.
jonifico··on Learn Everything Any Where Any Time Any Device
It looks quite interesting. Thanks for sharing!
jonifico··on Read Slowly to Benefit Your Brain and Cut Stress
I usually read so fast that by the time I get to the end of the text, I skip the last few words for the sake of finishing quickly. This turns out to be a waste of time and not very relieving. However, when I focus on reading slowly I'm thinking too much about it and can't concentrate on what I'm reading. I think more than reading slower or faster, it's about finding a pace where you feel comfortable and let your brain go a bit.
jonifico··on Richmond Italian restaurant waging war on Yelp
That's a pretty good (and unorthodox) way to promote yourself and get some free press. Never really trusted Yelp anyway, too many stupid people pretending they're experts.
jonifico··on World’s First 3D Printed Car Took Years to Design, but Only 44 Hours to Print
This whole 3D printing revolution is just crazy. We'll end up having no need for man-made manufacturing and rely on the government to sustain our mediocre lives. Yay!

No, but seriously. That's an amazing achievement, hope they can reduce the price in the future.

jonifico··on Why Apple Didn't Use Sapphire for iPhone Screens
This video explains the reasons quite well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVQbu_BsZ9o

Althought saphire is in fact stronger, it is it's lack of flexibility and absorption properties that don't make it as viable for phone use.

jonifico··on I'm Leaving Mojang
While I do see his point in saying Minecraft has become too big for him, he might also be backing out a bit from a responsibility that could bring a fascinating challenge. But then again, he doesn't see himself as a true developer. Hope he finds a way to fulfill himself apart from spending billions of dollars.
jonifico··on Uber Drivers “Strike” and Switch to Lyft Over Fares and Conditions
So they were fine and dandy until a better competition came around. When Lyft has its rival, same thing will happen.
jonifico··on Did your GMail password get leaked? Find out here.
Quite useful, thanks! It looks like custom domains are in fact not affected. That's a relief. However, with the vast amount of accounts GMail must have, 5 million accounts seems like a small number. Lucky I wasn't in there.
jonifico··on iPhone 6
Thanks! That sounds amazing and quite useful.
jonifico··on Apple NFC: No support for tags or pairing?
Well, that's a bum. I was expecting to have some fun with tags and the iPhone 6. Oh, well, we still have the barometer.
jonifico··on Apple event overshadows unflattering news at Snapchat, Tinder
Projects like that are usually made between friends and aren't really expected to become THAT big. Plus, it doesn't really matter, they took the guy out of the business and took away his rightful part of it. Good thing they settled.
jonifico··on iPhone 6
How much elevation are we talking about? Will it detect if I crouch and stand up, or you mean more geo-based elevation?
jonifico··on iPhone 6
Same question here.
jonifico··on Is Apple's iPhone 6 Phablet Too Late?
It's an Apple product, they'll always have a group of people willing to buy it. Now, if they are able to polish and improve on Samsung's mistakes, this might actually be a good thing for them. We'll have to wait and see.
jonifico··on Google Employees Secretly Live on Campus to Avoid Paying Rent
So you only did this as an experiment? If it was a forced thing, do you think it would be any different? Also, this could be amazing to go camping or short vacations with friends. Thanks!
jonifico··on Gravity Simulator
All of a sudden, the universe makes a helluva lot more sense now.
jonifico··on Gravity Simulator
That was great. COngrats!
jonifico··on Moto 360 review – Beautiful outside, ugly inside
All in all, I think it's too much of an experimental product to be spending $250 on. I'm not exactly wealthy to throw money away like that.
