Funny. I own electronandtheswitch.com.

I bought it years ago as a tribute to my childhood and have just held on to it. It was going to be a blog but I have never really found the time for that.


It’s not loading...hello? Can anybody hear me??


Reminds me of this article.

Teen Decomposes Plastic Bag in Three Months: http://www.wired.com/2008/05/teen-decomposes/


I know that HN is not reddit and these sort of remarks are frowned upon, but the URL is hilarious, in a creepy way.

(Note to self: when using "talking" URLs in a future web app, use the whole article title, not just a snippet)


AOl Search and Siri both use Bing. http://imgur.com/dAPgoAu


It also looks like Xbox Live has been experiencing problems all day. What is going on over there at Microsoft??


Congratulations to both of you!


Tested it out. Using spreadsheet terms, it seems that when you want to select A1 to A2 it will scroll unless you have already started a horizontal select. The whole workflow is actually really nice and smooth. I personally like it. I would recommend others to try it out.


Cool! That's actually a great solution.

As with all of these things it's not obviously discoverable but once you know how the interaction works it's really useful. Seems like one of these features that you'll forever find yourself wishing for in every other app where you had to select a load of things.


We're going to introduce a short tutorial that makes users aware of the interaction when they first open the camera so that should make it more discoverable. Another thing that isn't obvious yet is you can deselect all the images by shaking the device! We'll make that obvious in the tutorial too.


It might be good to have a deselect all button. Without knowing that I could shake, I deselected around 25 photos manually.


Don't see a license anywhere. All I can see is, "the code is available for download and reuse with an open license on Github.", on the main page. Would be nice to know... Maybe it is just me.


Almost every other project on Guardian's Github is under Apache 2.0. They probably just forgot to include the license file for this one.


Also, in the case of removing it from your computer and only storing it on the "backup". It is not really a backup if it only exists in one location.


This this this. The parable I've heard is that even two locations isn't a backup.
