fishbacon··on Google has indexed thousands of publicly accessible HP printers
Better yet, print a QR code, they can just scan it with their iPhone.
fishbacon··on You can now create files on GitHub
This is awesome for a number of reasons.

The biggest is probably that you can now have people helping out without teaching them git. Like people helping with translation, they could just copy the original file and translate it locally, then paste it in to a new file. Way cool.

fishbacon··on 132-page internal memo shows how Samsung set out to copy the iPhone
It is a link bait title even if it isn't the same memo, the document in this article (linked several times on the front page already today) shows that Samsung was looking at the marked leader and trying to figure out what they did right that Samsung wasn't doing.
fishbacon··on Jack Daniels writes the politest cease and desist notice ever.
From the comments in the thread it would seem that started as a boing boing link and got changed.
fishbacon··on Google Shutdowns Continue: iGoogle, Google Video, Google Mini...
I never found iGoogle too appealing because I find the interface messy, any idea what draws you to it? Is it just that it contains a bunch of RSS data?
fishbacon··on Dropbox disconnects Boxopus for unwanted features
It still uses bandwidth to download to your local Dropbox.
fishbacon··on Boxopus lets you download torrents to Dropbox anonymously + w/o a Torrent client
Your connection is not used for torrent packages but Dropbox packages. So it is, in some sense, anonymous.
fishbacon··on Microsoft Introduces New "Surface" Tablet
Probably in the iPad range, I can't imagine a successful tablet being more expensive than the iPad.
fishbacon··on JavaScript game of Tron in 219 bytes
From what I have heard everything is up-scaled to match the native resolution so things that are not optimized for the new displays just looks kinda bad.
fishbacon··on Braid, Super Meat Boy, and Lone Survivor Added to Humble Indie Bundle V
If you haven't played them, do yourself a favour and try them, they are all very good games and well worth their original prices.
fishbacon··on Humble Indie Bundle 5: pay what you want for video games
1. pay a dollar try it out.

2. I feel this is completely okay, you are not stealing from them because you cover the charges for your purchase and if you use steam for download you are not wasting their bandwidth.

All of the games are excellent so I bet you will enjoy at least two of them.

fishbacon··on Introducing Google Drive... yes, really
In preferences I see "Sync only some folders to this computer" as an option.

Don't see an option to move the folder though, that's annoying.
