abluecloud··on Alex King, an original Wordpress developer, has died
Just out of interest, is that the only sign of colon/bowel cancer? Will you always have blood in your stool at some point?
abluecloud··on Apple’s New San Francisco Fonts
Slightly related: the letter i on the keyboard looks wrong. It bugs me every time (it looks too high).
abluecloud··on Two Forgotten Architects of Silk Road
Tax free...
abluecloud··on Rovio to Cut 260 Jobs as the Angry Birds Franchise Becomes Irrelevant
When you make 260 employees redundant, I'd say it's ok for people to make assumptions about your brand.
abluecloud··on 'Suicides' over Ashley Madison hack
> We don't want to be locking people up for every poor business choice or bad decision.

Whilst that is true, we equally don't want to be completely ruling it out. An investigation should be conducted regarding the actual attack, and perhaps their handling of the leak. Did they even notify all users?

abluecloud··on Chromebooks Gaining on iPads in School Sector
I guess they're realising that they're slightly more useful than iPads, and cheaper.
abluecloud··on Mobile Safari's Performance Is Not the Problem
Can I add sites that try and take over my scrolling ability so it's nice and "smooth" but just ruins my ability to scroll to the target area?
abluecloud··on Facebook Ordered by Hamburg Regulator to Allow Pseudonyms
How is that possible for them to know your real age, logically? (I don't mean you're lying, but only you can work out the link with other services and facebook that might be leaking this information).
abluecloud··on Play GTA V in your Browser, Sort of
great riposte.

What are you talking about, these pieces have already been put together multiple times.

This guy isn't running it from AWS though, like I said. He's running it from a "server" that's right in front of him. By the way, have you ever tried RDCing a remote Windows machine and done some trivial tasks in the GUI?

abluecloud··on Play GTA V in your Browser, Sort of
This is my point, it's been done. The problem that still exists is the lag you'll get when not playing at your house, so nothing has changed. Apparently people don't get that.

Now, if he gets this running between his house and work, I'll be give him some credit.

abluecloud··on Play GTA V in your Browser, Sort of
This is pointless and nothing new. Remote desktop in the browser has never been an issue, so obviously playing games isn't an issue either.

The pointless part is that he's connecting to a "server" that's next to him, not in a DC in London. I guess if you really wanted to play GTA V on the toilet, on your phone, it solves the issue - but really...

abluecloud··on China stocks drop over 8%
Because their stocks have been over valued for a while now. This is basically the market adjusting to what it should have been.

Check here: http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/SHCOMP:IND with 1 year comparison.

abluecloud··on Forcing Wordpress sites to use https even when not directed
I like your open-mindedness
abluecloud··on The Mob's IT Department
I honestly don't think it's limited to IT workers. Some people just aren't confrontational people and would rather make an easy life for themselves.

Plus, you have to only consider the repercussions of being confrontational in certain situations.

abluecloud··on Google launches Uber rival RideWith
> Drivers will only be able to make two trips per day, and the software will ensure they only travel from their home neighborhoods to their workplaces.

> There also won’t be a ton of money changing hands as a passenger will pay the driver only a nominal fare for the trip

I'd hardly call it a Uber rival

abluecloud··on Mass snooping fake mobile towers 'uncovered in UK'
I agree, and most of the public don't even care.
abluecloud··on Mass snooping fake mobile towers 'uncovered in UK'
Then you go home, open you laptop and communicate with people over the internet. What's the difference.
abluecloud··on Unprocessed Foods Cut into Precise 2.5cm Cubes
Some of their art is really quite cool.

This one I particularly liked: http://lernertandsander.com/aux-raus/

and this scared me a little: http://lernertandsander.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/every...

abluecloud··on Why I’m breaking up with Google Chrome
It may not be a shit deal for some people, but it is for me and I wont be visiting your website again.

I'll give you credit for getting around my adblocker though, although that just pissed me off more.

abluecloud··on Why I’m breaking up with Google Chrome
I know. When this: http://i.imgur.com/AwG4AMr.jpg is what you get when you load a page, I ain't sticking around for long.
abluecloud··on Take the Money and Run
Not directed at OP in particular, but with acquisitions that include shares, is there something that stops you from just dumping them straight away, essentially making it a cash only deal?
abluecloud··on I’ve never seen such a copy of my work
My network blocks this website:

Acuman: I'm glad that you like playing squash, though personally I don't like playing squash that much. I'm just not a fan of something that is any of numerous annual trailing plants of the genus Cucurbita grown for their fleshy edible fruits.
abluecloud··on Apple WWDC 2015
I stand corrected.
abluecloud··on Apple WWDC 2015
The DC stands for developers conference, they don't announce new hardware.
abluecloud··on The button: social experiment driving Reddit crazy
it was announced in a blog post, and has featured many times on /r/all, but if you don't ever read /r/all, you wont have read it.

It was also most likely featured at some point on trending subs. And if you read a hell of a lot of reddit, you'll see it mentioned elsewhere on the site (like in memes, comments etc)

abluecloud··on Show HN: Sell anything directly to your customers with SendFlare
Not really commenting on the idea, but the consistency in the design is slightly annoying. Take your example, for example (https://sendflare.co/l/alice-s-adventures-in-wonderland):

- the fonts change constantly - the buttons differ - you have breaks in one tweet box, then no break in the other - the very top download link doesn't work & also doesn't have the correct cursor

The homepage seems to be unnecessarily loading despite the fact I could briefly see the page before the "loader" appeared
