My experience exactly. I switch completely over to DDG, and ended up switching back after I realised I was starting so many queries with !g it made no sense at all.

It's also lacking "Magical"

This is exactly why action on the part of developers is a good idea. Obviously Apple doesn't need to fix it, the current system is serving them well enough. Apple's target market are its users not its…

We (my company) have filed quite a few radar bug reports, including one quite serious flaw (account passwords being sent across a network in plaintext serious). We never heard a squeak back. We never …

The Guardian sums up the problems, and the correct approach to porn/kids quite well: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/may/07/online-p... The problem here is that parents are unable or un…

This is very interesting, and a really great concept, but I don't think a feature request 'bug report' is the best way to go about this, Apple are extremely unresponsive to feedback, even when you're …

Either it is or it isn't. If it is, a lot of search engines are in big trouble. Google links to almost every piece of illegal content on the web. You also have to think carefully about what a link is.…

Linking is not a crime.

And there will be plenty of tech-savvy people ready to make it easy again, in exchange for ads/money/malware.

Ironically, most of these tabloid newspapers publish pornography themselves, and staunchly defend their right to do so.

Hence virtually? It's easy to pick out a few examples of people making money (often lots) that do have a detrimental affect on society, but it really is a very small number of people. Compare how many…

It's interesting that the game is called Darwin and the 'unbeatable' program was one that took on evolutionary properties.

I contacted my MP about this last week, and he emailed back, pledging his opposition to this plan. I'm unsure what I should be doing next. Is there anything else I can do?

I'm still skeptical. What's shown in this video seems ok, but it's impossible to know if this is representative or not. This is a tiny snapshot, and no doubt has been carefully orchestrated by Foxconn…

I agree, name isn't great, and I think the description of what it is/how it works needs work if this is going to take off. If you don't know what RSA/public key cryptography is already, you're going t…

Would you though? I imagine I would iff the dislikes were anonymous. However, if that were the case 99% of all feedback on posts would probably be anonymous/negative. Much as I'd like a dislike button…

I expect that most of the people using this app now - early adopters, readers of tech news - are (to use a broad term) geeks. Geeks are, in my experience, more likely to be liberal. It would be intere…

There's a vast, vast gap in the complexity of Chrome's ui and Photoshop's. I maintain an app with a cross-platform ui (Mac/Windows/*nix), and it adds an enormous amount of time re-doing everything on …

It's a nice idea, you could really do with some fun usage ideas though, something simple like "Don't eat a donut"

I can't believe this actually exists. But then again, rule 34 I guess.

This is great, I've always worried about being or feeling awake for long periods at night. What doesn't seem clear though is whether I should be setting aside 10 hours a night for sleep (two 4 hour cy…

Works currently. This could change that. There's little difference these days between the phone and internet networks, and yet they have no trouble charging more for international calls.

Is charging for each 'international' click even possible? What if I'm using Tor?

Governments want control over Youtube, Facebook etc. in order to prevent these kinds of uprisings. People weren't rioting over access to Youtube and Facebook, but access to them did fuel the riots and…

Any.DO is an excellent alternative with a similar UX-oriented approach. It also syncs with Google Tasks. iOS, Android and web.

This is pretty unenforceable, but could work if you counted passenger weight as passenger + carry on baggage, and merely set a limit on that (above which you have to pay a surcharge). That way you're …
