clouds··on Mozilla's 4.5” Dual-Core Reference Phone
Agree with you, but that's like putting on your trousers over your head.

3 crappy UXs daily vs. hundreds? No thanks.

You can't just buy 'Murica with money!

I would very much prefer an easy way to go 'off the grid' - one button to disable all the shit that is draining your battery. 3G, data, location services, Wi-Fi.

Jailbreak used to help on iPhone and they did introduce the swipe bar to disable Wi-Fi, but put so many more obstacles to disable the rest.

Disabling location services will now prompt you whether you are sure you want to disable AFTER A FUCKING DELAY.

I would like very much that Google Maps wouldn't point me in a middle of ocean when my location services are disabled and I just want to peek at a map, not to find out where is some badly SEO'd shop.

But most of all, I would like apps to keep the data I opened 5 minutes ago. I just hate when you are in the tube, had your route planned and suddenly all the info is gone. Or the comment you wrote on HN and switched a tab is gone after refresh. Apple, PUT SOME FUCKING RAM ON YOUR IOS DEVICES.

A mysql dump of abe database can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.netinch.com/temp/bitcoin-abe/abe.sql.gz (updated 2014-02-27) it's 14GB file that expands to 37GB dump, which took 84GB when imported to mysql.

Found the link at https://github.com/bitcoin-abe/bitcoin-abe/issues/15

Compatibility with the rest? Like, the users?

Everyone, but the US is paying mobile. US are still using magnetic strip credit cards. It wasn't that painful in Europe.

clouds··on Stop Using Your Inbox as a To-Do List
If you keep your folder structure sane, I find email quite brilliant for it.

What I find waste of time is reentering emails into task app or CRM and then hopping back to email, to find the context.

clouds··on Satoshi Nakamoto denies being Dorian Nakamoto
Meet Dorian Nakamoto. He is just a regular scientist who likes model trains. But the world thinks he is creator of Bitcoin and mafia is chasing him for his $400m fortunes.

What does he do? He cooks meth.

Seriously, the story is best of psyops.
