alinspired··on Mac Pro
The race to get the first donut-shaped accessory is on! And If I ever would want a non-customizable computer I'd get an macbook air
alinspired··on Burner Phone
unfortunately i have to question how long this operation can survive in US
alinspired··on Https URLs posted in private Skype chats visited by Microsoft
This suddenly escalated from "thread on HN" to personal encounter and realization that probably all Skype messages worldwide are stored by MS FOREVER...
alinspired··on Https URLs posted in private Skype chats visited by Microsoft
I can confirm a case of http (not httpS) link sent in skype accessed from microsoft.

Access happened from 65.52.100.214 about 6hrs 40 minutes after I shared it in skype. There were 4 http requests, while I shared the link with 2 people.

Unfortunately the server logs are not detailed enough to understand what exactly been requested, given the page was under basic http authorization (with credentials NOT in URL).

alinspired··on The Scientific 7-Minute Workout
30 min of average-intensity running will not get you anywhere, body adapts quickly.

this is a good set of exercises to mix into your home (next to the chair) routine. and the point of the article is intensity level while touching most of muscle groups.

alinspired··on Never Say WordPress When Selling a Web Design Project
Same applies to any sales (especially driven by sales engineers), but often demos go back to showing as much screens/options/features in the product as possible during given time
alinspired··on Security incident update
very reassuring update for someone who didn't read the IRC logs with hacker and i think it will do the trick for most of linode users
alinspired··on tmux 1.8 Released

alinspired··on A Most Peculiar Test Drive

alinspired··on I’m Tired Of Companies Ripping off our site, So I’m Calling Them Out
site certainly worth "learning", but copying completely is just lame
alinspired··on Save your eyes, start using f.lux
didn't like flux, instead arranged small 15watt lamp to read kindle/book in my bed but leave the light levels in the bedroom low. this was before kindle paperlight :)
alinspired··on Elon Musk: With Jobs Gone, Google Will Win Mobile (And Look Out For Hyperloop)
Hyperloop - dream on: land-accelerated vehicle (a rocket-like) that is "slingshot" to the destination over the air. Acceleration even above Mach can be achieved on a maglev circular track gradually with ability to "switch" track and shoot the vehicle in the air. Land it to a maglev(!) landing pad in the form of a funnel or simpler - with a parachute-like system.
alinspired··on Ice Box Pro: The best of Dropbox and Amazon Glacier combined
Great Idea, although to realy archive terabytes with a relatively small dropbox account you'd have to do it in 10-100 steps.. Recovering it via dropbox would be even more challenging.
alinspired··on Domain Name Analysis
I'd love to compare the domain metrics with english language as a whole, or with a popular encyclopedia
alinspired··on $1B of TSA Nude Body Scanners Made Worthless By Blog
it's amazing how all governments, and monopolies are alike, whether it's US or not

they will get away with it, until smacked really hard - which is almost impossible to do

alinspired··on Google’s Web Search Quality. A picture is worth a 1000 words
great example! another improvement from google - recognize search queries typed in wrong keyboard layout, ie: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%D1%81%D1%80%D1%88...
alinspired··on The Five Stages of Hosting
One of the differences is how VPS and "cloud" is metered: typically monthly (may be prorated daily) for VPSs and hourly for cloud servers like EC2. You can spin multiple instances in both cases, the more differences come in play if you start using cloud-specific features like load balancer, cloud storage (ie S3), etc
alinspired··on Man Embraces Useless Machines, and Absurdity Ensues
building the machines looks like low level programming :)
alinspired··on Previewing Windows 8 (Video)
Wish I had the same OS and apps for laptop, tablet, phone, especially with the data somewhat synced.. this might be a step towards it
alinspired··on Chromebook
is there a dedicated screen for always on advertisement yet ? :)

And seriously I'd need at least ssh and rdp clients on this to even consider it
