I always thought BI was just a clickbait site with a fancy name.

Why would they? The context is different.

To me-too your "me too", I switched to FastMail three years ago and haven't looked back.

Let me reach out to you about why I left Gmail for FastMail. It's because if you're not paying for the product... you ARE the product.

Yeah.

And for an app that just lets you selectively blur out bits of images. GIMP can do that in seconds, for free.

It's indicative of the state of the App Store that there are so many apps like this. The worst culprits - in my view - are 'distraction-free text editors'. I guess if the market is there for a $20 text editor that does nothing, then people are going to try to exploit it.

Indeed - they became Rockstar North. Their offices are still in Scotland (Edinburgh, though, rather than Dundee).

Yes, it would work very well. There's a near-perfect homebrew port on the DS[1]. I'm not sure why they haven't licensed it yet.

As a place that could spawn tales as tall as Gef, the Talking Mongoose[1] just before the war, it's fair to say the Isle of Man was very isolated...

I don't feel they are necessary, even for less advanced users. Apple do a reasonably good job of keeping things safe and up-to-date.

The number of users may also reflect their pushy "you need this!" marketing. I installed MacKeeper a few days after switching from Windows to Mac, as I had no idea what I was doing. Ended up uninstalling it, then reinstalling OS X from scratch just in case.

Databese should be an alternate term for big data.

Agreed, I've been attending mystical/religious/occult events for a while now and I just end up meeting weirdos.

Another fantastic outcome of non-profit (lol) Nominet's recent, desperate attempts to squeeze every last penny out of the .uk tld.

I've got a Logitech (non-folding) solar-powered keyboard. Happy to report it's been working for nearly a year now using that delicious sun energy.

Being a sceptic, I did also put it in a sock drawer for a few days after use to see if it would fail to charge. It failed to turn on after that until I'd left it in the sun for a while.

I love Stowaways too - I had one for a Palm, around 2002. Then went looking for a Bluetooth one a few years later, only to find nobody makes them.

I guess either they are inferior to the foldable ones you can get everywhere (haven't tried one), or Targus are refusing to make or license them.

I don't think the drama is aimed at the same audience as the computers.

Not forgetting the stalwart JavE (http://www.jave.de/), although it seems unmaintained, and isn't non-destructive/object-based/whatever you want to call it.

I like Monodraw, and I know you're an indie developer, but the price seems bonkers for what it is, even at discount. If others pay it, though, I guess the price is right :)

This doesn't install the whole theme though (at least for me), just changes the colour scheme.

To that, you'll need to install the theme by following the instructions on the Afterglow github page.

Side-note: octopuses enjoy a position as the only invertebrate protected by animal testing laws in the UK (as of 1993):

Arguably, the Nazis carried out fascism to the letter, while the USSR, North Korea et al have created a highly bastardised version of communism.

Like others, I use Fastmail's calendar now. I also run my own Baikal[1] server for CardDAV/contacts (though I guess I could run my calendar on it too, since it does CalDAV).

If being a marketer is a bullshit job, then being a web developer is a bullshit job too.

Most people could spend a week with a marketing book and do some basic marketing. Likewise, most people could spend a week learning WordPress and create a passable website. So let's reduce the number of web developers by 90% too!

Think of the billions it could save in inflated invoices from web agencies (commissioned by clueless marketers).

Let's just reduce all jobs by 90% and make everyone teachers, doctors and street cleaners. I have a really good feeling about this.

Indeed, I just read an article entitled 'Why doesn't Amazon sell iPhones'. Who's right?

In the UK, you can break your rail journey on the flexible ticket types, but not on Advance fares.

So you can either get a good deal by booking in advance, or by breaking a cheaper, longer journey - but not both.

Could make some classic songs interesting...

"I found my thrill / on MARAMUT-GACIRA"

"JODEGE-SIFAJAR is in my ears and in my eyes"

"JACEGE-RURAJA forever"

The SNP probably brought in voting for 16 and 17 year olds on the basis that it might counter the strong 'No' vote in the 60+ group.

However, that group is fairly equally split (45% Yes/44% No). I reckon they underestimated how strongly popular culture, which is focused on London, influences the 16/17 age group.

As someone who works in the cultural sector, and has seen a million terrible arts/museum/heritage sites, I quite like it.

Yes, it has flaws - and not just the scrolling - stuff like having links rendered without underlining and in the same colour as body text.

But I could find the location, opening hours, and ticket booking link almost instantly, which is what 99 out of 100 of people visiting that site will want. It's well-designed from that point of view.

Do they? Most older people I know ditched their computers and now have iPads.

Isn't there causation implied in that title anyway? Compare it with "States with smarter people have faster internet". The smart people were there first.

If this is the tweet you blanked out in the article: https://twitter.com/DeasesRuthann/status/464740467213496320

I'm interested in how that works. Is it a realistic-looking spam account you can hire? (Not judging - genuinely interested.)
