ryan_s··on Santa Hat on your photo
This is so close to working on ios. Needs way to rotate image after it is uploaded.
ryan_s··on Industrial PC market prefers Windows 7 to 8
Obviously. We're, primarily customer driven though so I'm sure we will need to ship it some time in the nearish future.
ryan_s··on First Sale Under Siege: If You Bought It, You Should Own It
How does this currently apply to software? Specifically desktop software apps, and OSs.
ryan_s··on Bucket Brigade Hauls Diesel Fuel up 17 Stories to Keep NYC Data Center Online
Was it worth it? Really?
ryan_s··on Napolitano: I don't use email at all
Would they be wrong? I'm not certain about that. From the single clip I would believe that maybe she is.
ryan_s··on BERG Little Printer available to pre-order
You know, my mom still prints 80% of her emails. Maybe she needs this.
ryan_s··on Top 1000 Most Visited Articles on Wikipedia in 2012.
"404 Error" made it to number 6! Proves that numbered error codes are not so user friendly.

Although at first I thought it was Wikipedia's own 404 page and was going to comment on how they must have a lot Of broken links.

ryan_s··on What If Your Emails Never Went to Gmail and Twitter Couldn't See Your Tweets?
I guess I don't see the point. The data is stored on their servers where they offer the same "promise" that they won't sell your data either.

The only benefit I see is a central location of all data.

ryan_s··on Apple to launch completely redesigned iPhone in Fall 2012
We're starting this already? Yawn.
ryan_s··on Here is Godaddy’s statement in support of SOPA
From the post: "protecting American consumers from the dangers that they face on-line"

Seriously? I dont need someone to protect me online. It's. It the Wild West. Who will protect me from the crap they sell on late night TV? Maybe we should put a stop to infomercials next.

I thought the supporters of this were supposed to be anti "big government". Seems like this bill is just imposing more government regulations.

ryan_s··on Your hard drive is too big
Oh but they can. http://www.mcetech.com/optibay/
ryan_s··on Google was awarded US Patent 8,078,349 for driverless car
this sounds interesting: "In some embodiments, a URL stored as a QR Code may enable the autonomous vehicle to download new instructions." I wonder how that's going to work.
ryan_s··on Show HN: Early Adopter cred from your Twitter & Facebook IDs
AFAIK that's all pretty standard stuff. What are you afraid of?
ryan_s··on Poll: Do you use an adblocker?
AdBlock. It's the main reason I primarily use Atomic Browser on iOS. Ads on mobile are just ridiculous.
ryan_s··on Code snippets on Microsoft website shown in form of images.
You are probably right. I've found the MSDN pretty inconsistent. There are a number of C#/VB.net examples that don't have any syntax highlighting at all.

It all depends which area you are in.

ryan_s··on Google Bar: The next stage in Google redesign
While I don't hate it... it does look familiar... http://i.imgur.com/fEHbB.jpg

I just hope they make every page consistent. What annoyed me about the current navigation is that the links move around, and Reader is tucked far away under More.

This is so last week.

ryan_s··on Introducing the Gmail app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
I guess I fail to see the point of using this app. For me the mail.app and active sync have been working great. I get push, I can attach files, etc.

Other than better searching, and different management I don't know why this would be better.

ryan_s··on From Microsoft: Firefox with Bing
Does this mean Microsoft is finally going to give up on IE?
ryan_s··on The disappearing file system and the new UI metaphor
While I love the simplicity of iOS, the second you need to do anything remotely complicated your stuck.

If I want to send said Keynote document, Keynote must know about my email program, conversely if I receive a Keynote file my email program must know about Keynote. I have little faith that my daily file handling can be completely abstracted.
