I think on of the main problems in this area is, that if you personalize the information too much you'll live in a bubble. Thus you need to find a way to include important news outside of it.

The site offers a newsletter and Twitter, I'd much rather have a feed to subscribe to. Is it hidden/is anybody working on, for example, a Yahoo Pipe?

I think that's mostly because the author is writing a book on Vim currently.

Smaller trackers that will be targeted next.

No, there will only be art from people who actually love to do it and are not in it for the money.

Stopped using Readability and switched to Readable when their bookmarks started doing funky stuff involving their servers.

This is useful if you are on systems where curl is not easily available. Helped a few times!

I think Nokia will once come out as the winner in this. Instead of putting all their eggs in one basket they try to diversify their lineup. While a lot of other companies focus on Android they work on the next thing. Sooner or later consumers will shy away from Android because "everybody has one" or whatever reason they might have - Nokia will then step in and cater to these people.

Nokia, especially in Europe, has a lot of satisfied customers(The dumbphone market). If they manage to create a good blend of smart and dumbphones they will have the market.

You pay once to sign up, this fee increases with the ammount of users.

I've looked at this previously but

* It seems to be closed source

* The German government is involved (Close friends with the US)

But thats backup only and theres no real Windows client.

Is it possible to use Truecrypt in Dropbox without issues?

Uzbl seems to be a really cool project, but I'm stuck on Windows for most of the day.

The average user doesn't even know about cookies and is very easy to profit from. Privacy should be more important than it is today.

I'm actually thinking less is more here, I can't think of the last time I've even thought about using autofill for forms. Of course syncing is important, but actually one of the more nice-to-have features. The important things IMHO are: speed/efficiency, interface/usability and how easy it is to customize the browser. I can't even think of a reason why Google chose to omit configurable shortcuts.

This doesn't change the fact that more and more features get tacked onto a browser which have nothing to do with browsers. Chrome didn't have much useless features a year ago, but now Google is trying to make it into a platform.

Request: Don't override Ctrl + L, I don't want to have to use the mouse to copy the link. Ctrl + L, Ctrl + C is faster.

Who runs this site?

Is there any way to change the New Tab page without the help of extensions? I prefered it blank which you can't do now.

It's neither, thank you anyways!

Will not happen.

Unfortunately everybody becomes your neighbour then

Can somebody recommend a good C++ book without all the new to programming parts?

You would probably not have a lot of luck using this on private trackers, as Vuze isn't whitelisted on most of them, plus it's a modified version.

You are already getting distracted by reading the post, no harm done I guess.

I tried a few full blown apps like Evernote and MS OneNote but you could say that these applications offered too much for me as I don't need fancy stuff like embedding images, I just want text.

I also wanted to do something in LINQ (LINQ to XML to be specific). Around that time I was looking at Notational Velocity and it's Windows "clones". So I went and create something really quickly and decided to make it a bigger project.

Meet Omnium. (This sounds cool.) As of now it's easy to sync with Dropbox (SugarSync, etc) but I plan to integrate synchronizing with Simplenote and also have some kind of export/import feature so you can use your NV notes/vice versa.

It's Windows only because Mono doesn't support WPF (yet) If you are interested: http://omnium.codeplex.com Please leave a comment on what you think (Codeplex' review system or here) </selfpromo>

Have been using DDG for more general info and Google if I need to look something up (Errors, movie quotes etc)

Actually inspires me to start something similar
