werid··on One reason Gmail for iOS still sucks
thank you. strange how this is not default, considering google's own services like youtube sends out wide html-emails.

i don't know about that. i often get html-emails from companies which don't fit the screen. sometimes i can align it by adjusting to the left... shouldn't have to.
werid··on GNOME (et al): Rotting In Threes
in this case, they wanted a feature removed from a 3rd party program, because gnome did no longer support this feature. meanwhile, the program still runs on non-gnome desktops, which do support the feature...

which leads to this quote: "I guess you have to decide if you are a GNOME app, an Ubuntu app, or an XFCE app"

werid··on Outlawed by Amazon DRM
all international kindles are shipped from the US. ebooks must be bought from US too. the UK ebooks rights are ONLY for the UK, same with FR and DE. the US store handles american and international rights. other markets not quite big enough yet.

if you're thinking about physical books, that's wrong too. a book sold in both the US and UK shop will usually have a different publisher, so which one you get depends on where you ordered it, not where you live.

Why would Amazon.co.uk run "europe"? The europeans outside UK, FR or DE are forced to buy the international kindle from the US.
