Comment Nipples? Seriously? (Score 1) 317

I really like the Ello concept where you are required to tag your content. which allows for filters at CONSUMER'S discretion.

On a more general leve, I can't underestand the relationship between (many) americans and nudity.

Where I live, if someone walks down a beach wearing ONLY a gun holster , people will discuss the gun, not the tits or penis :)

I've read several American people describing their trip to a no-swimsuit-allowed european sauna as if they had been to Mars and back !!

I can understand it on a personal level, but some oil in the moral compass can't hurt.

Relax :) (and apologies for grammar and spelling mistakes)

I think that lower-level calls may be necessary to ensure a seamless performance. I don't know for Linux (where file locking rules are different), but as a Windows Dropbox user, I find it *very* nice that I can work on big Photoshop files, save them often and *never* have Dropbox get in the way by locking the file (and, furthermore, Dropbox only uploads or downloads chunks of the file that have changed) Google Drive, on the other hand, is a PITA when it comes to this: I was using it before and saving files often resulted in Photoshop complaining... a lot! (Google Drive is OK for backups or very small files, though) It might be that the naive approach of using posix-level calls is not really enough Just my $0.02

Comment Built-in dictionary is great (Score 1) 283

I am french speaking, and I read a lot of novels written in english to improve my grammar and vocabulary. My kindle is great for that, because of the built-in dictionary that lets me quickly lookup the definition of an unknown word. Before that, I read eBooks on my computer but the couch is much better.

Comment New Apple Keyboards rule for 1 month then suck (Score 1) 445

I love the touch of the Apple Pro Keyboards. But the thing is, after a few weeks of heavy use (I mean strong and fast typing), the key feel is getting harder and harder. Plus they are not cheap thus buying a new one every month is not an option. They are crappy membrane keyboards just like every keyboard designed these days, though...
