Just because this story always crack me up... Written by Brian Schul (former SR-71 pilot): There were a lot of things we couldn’t do in an SR-71, but we were the fastest guys on the block and loved reminding our fellow aviators of this fact. People often asked us if, because of this fact, it was fun to fly the jet. Fun would not be the first word I would use to describe flying this plane. Intense, maybe. Even cerebral. But there was one day in our Sled experience when we would have to say that it was pure fun to be the fastest guys out there, at least for a moment. It occurred when Walt and I were flying our final training sortie. We needed 100 hours in the jet to complete our training and attain Mission Ready status. Somewhere over Colorado we had passed the century mark. We had made the turn in Arizona and the jet was performing flawlessly. My gauges were wired in the front seat and we were starting to feel pretty good about ourselves, not only because we would soon be flying re...

Finally! Will see if my subscription can be renewed after the trial period. So far so good. The streaming is fast and in good quality (at least it's good enough for my ears). The app is easy to use, especially the radio thingy. Recommendations are great, suit me well.

So after a loooong time, I finally launch XFROCKS (again) with the help of Sylvie . The site is actually an experiment which provides premium support (premium = fast, accurate, personal) for freely released add-ons of mine. Only widely used add-ons got their own forum for questions: [bd] API : a new but strategic add-on with lots of room for improvement. [bd] Banking : another important add-on which has under heavy development for a long time without any public release. Probably soon! [bd] Forum Watch [bd] Medal System [bd] Paygates : the cool kid in the group. There is an offer to develop future paygate support with a bootstrap fee of $100 ! [bd] Tag Me : one of the first add-ons of mine and still growing strong! [bd] Widget Framework : another useful and complicated add-on (which means lots and lots of questions). To assist with the cost of running the site, 3 other add-ons are also available for sale: Trophy Extension  ($29) for [bd] Medal System: allow people to...

BitTorrent Labs has just released a their Sync experiment . The tag line is "Automatically sync files via secure, distributed technology.", directly aimed to compete with Dropbox, Google Drive, Mega and the likes. Using BitTorrent technology, the folders will be synchronized across devices via p2p protocol without any central server -- which is a plus, you and only you own your data. Additionally, the data is encrypted with a private key so you can be sure it is safe. The first thing I thought when I first heard of the idea is using it to do server backup. Amazingly, the team behind BTSync provided binaries for a wide range of platforms: Windows XP SP3+, Mac OSX 10.6+, Linux with kernel 2.6.16+ in 4 different architectures ARM/PPC/i386/x86_64. Installed the app for Mac OSX: Connected devices. I only have one other device. Folders to sync. BTSync supports unlimited number of folders. Files that are being sync'd. A simple logging system.

Real close I guess...

Didn't know the Play Store can display custom permission information. Awesome!

Yep.
