I'm surprised no standing desks were featured!!


Pretty funny! This would have been a perfect story using Soundcite- inline audio embedding: http://soundcite.knightlab.com/


Hilarious!!

At some point I spilled water all over my MacbookPro and I turned it off and let it dry overnight. The next morning it refused to turn on. I took it to Apple and they say they must send it to repairs for 750 dollars!!

I refused to pay money, went home, asked some friends about it, and concluded that I should put my computer in an inverted position like a teepee.

I let it sit for 2 days. And Voila! Good as new!


Same exact thing happened to me! Brand new hot starbucks green tea spilled all over my 4 month old MacBook Air mid-2013. I was devastated. Stupidly I tried to turn it on right after the spill and it turned on for a moment then shut off and wouldn't turn on again. I put the keyboard face down on paper towels and indirectly in front of a fan for a few days and it came back to life! I now have a keyboard spill guard of course...


If you have a gas oven with a pilot lite, it's the perfect place to let things dry out (don't turn it on, just let the small flame of the pilot lite dry things out). These seem to be more rare nowadays, though.


Very excited to try it out. Mailchimp is not that conducive to made-from-scratch tepmlates


As a student at Northwestern, I 100% agree with this. Students around here are always complaining about the vast amount of things they have to do, midterms, papers, student group meetings, greek events, school events, when most of these things can be easily cut back if they make the choice to.

Do less. Do Better. Know more!


Pretty awesome! Gif size goes up really quickly based on length, image size, dithering etc. So a lot of people reduce those so that their gifs are smaller and can load quickly. So maybe a full-screen treatment is not the best idea!


Depends on the device.. This is perfect for phones.



Pretty mind-blowing. Would be cool if it uses your camera and you can see how other people see you in their eyeballs.


Outside of the US, texting across different carriers often cost money. WhatsApp is a better messaging service because it is so light-weight and provides users with exactly what they want. They just want to TEXT. Users just want the simplest app to just text. And WhatsApp is much preferred because it loads much faster than fb messenger and resembles the traditional texting experience.
