I switched to Ubuntu One. It has 5GB free and a decent android client.

Other than the fonts looking a bit jagged on Win7/Chrome the design looks amazing.

I'm sure Deutsche Bank were less enamoured with it.

There's newer firmware updates but they won't release them. Perhaps other carriers have newer updates for my phone but i'm on a contract.

Unsurprising since phones are ditched by carriers after they're sold (orphaned android user).

It's Antarctica and it's protected by international treaty. Not sure why Russia were even allowed to do this.

The bios seemed to be his only sticking point about not using other hardware. Maybe something like coreboot might fill that need now?

Please add a submit button to the search box at the bottom of the site. I can't use the search function on Android (Opera) and less importantly, w3m.

That limerick accent is fading fast:) Top it up by watching some Rubberbandits. Loved the interview.

He runs a modern full featured gnu/linux distribution like a lot of people, just rarely boots into the desktop.

Eliminating needless sites like yfrog and twitpic?

More private repos with the paid plans would definitely keep me paying and might convince others to pay.

Just installed Windows 7 on my desktop using the key from my laptop I wasn't using and this ISO.

Firefox feels prehistoric in many ways compared to chrome but I won't switch until they copy the awesomebar verbatim. It's perfect.

Yes amazing, I used to have Instructables in my rss reader but had to remove it due to the articles being totally unreadable.

I read a story on HN a while back about a guy who used an algorithm to generate his passwords. Don't have the link but something like combining easy to remember bits of personal information. e.g mother's name, kids birthday, maybe changing the case of these. Also adding something site specific like the last three letters of the url backwards. It's easy to remember passwords this way but if one gets out they're all vulnerable if someone looks closely.

I suppose the DDOS cannon will be aimed at twitter and facebook next then.

I really like STDP/EDT as a form of therapy. See if this resonates at all with you. http://www.istdp.ca/Somatization.pdf

seems to be a distro derived from ubuntu with polished ui and proprietary codecs and drivers preinstalled

Yeah, it would be nice if they had an open server that allowed you to sign up and check it out. There's nothing stopping anybody from setting one up though.

i bought the indie pack only because i wanted some games to play in linux

wow http://onesocialweb.org actually has working code. doesnt seem to be any demo offering public registration yet though. might try and install it myself later.

subversion hosting with bug tracking and wikis and the like. nicely integrated into netbeans too.

i think I saw somewhere that it was about 7 GBP for a pack. not too bad. I really like the look of this stuff, can already think of loads of uses, including making a nice little stand for my ipod touch to have beside my computer. Could become as ubiquitous as blu-tack. also sugru (súgradh) is the Irish word for 'play'.

I recommend http://www.adafruit.com I bought the usb boarduino kit for $25 which is the cheapest way to get into arduino if you already have a breadboard and a soldering iron. Great tutorials on the adafruit site too.

it doesn't sync all your mail.

Google notebook is pretty good and i mostly use that. autosave, search, tagging. They don't develop it anymore apparently but it's still usable. http://www.google.com/notebook
