sibbl··on FlightSimLabs Alleged Malware Analysis
Please don't see Fiddler as a Wireshark replacement. If Fiddler doesn't show a network request, the tool might simply not use the Fiddler proxy...
sibbl··on Google Chrome won't be allowed on Windows 10 S
Isn't it just as allowed as it is on iOS for example?
sibbl··on Where the f*** can I park?
Yeah, I also noted this when I visited the page after posting the comment ;) Interesting that Google didn't use a 301 redirection to the new button graphics...
sibbl··on Where the f*** can I park?
I'm part of a open data group project over here in Europe, specifically Germany. We use open data (or scrape it and make it open this way) to offer open source apps including real time data and do machine learning for forecasting of public parking spaces: http://parkendd.de/en/

works fine on 200dpi Windows as well.
sibbl··on Microsoft announces Project Spartan, its new web browser for Windows 10
I guess there will be an option for that. Almost everything of the Win 10 stuff that MS showed off today was optional.
sibbl··on New, more powerful Google Translate app
Works pretty well, but so does Microsoft's Translation app for Windows Phone. Having used Microsoft's app for 2 years now, I am really wondering what took Google so long. Google's app offers coloring of the translation and a way more languages. But in the end, it's as fast and reliable as Microsoft's solution on my devices..

sibbl··on Show HN: Siri, open the garage
In fact apps can register for voice commands since the release of WP8. Microsoft just improved it so you don't have to register e.g. 1000 movie names to enable the WP voice recognition to understand them, but telling WP to listen for a movie name.

Windows Phone user here: we got this API for 1.5 years and Cortana just brought it to a higher level :)
sibbl··on German officials confirm 18 million emails and passwords stolen
What are you complaining about? There was a leak some months ago and the BSI kept the information about the leak secret until they had set up a system to inform people. Lots of people complained that they didn't publish the information earlier. Now they are doing, what I think is the correct way. Now they have time to discuss how to tell the people whose data has leaked which they surely will do.

Guess how long ICQ has a J2ME app...
sibbl··on Google streetview world coverage
As a German, I guess 90% of us would love to have a complete Street View coverage...
sibbl··on OpenNote – an open web-based alternative to Microsoft OneNote and EverNote
Because it seems like the developer never used it, otherwise he would not write thank Microsoft "For making terrible products" in the credits.
