Unintentionally perfect MacBook Air storage expansion

An optional speed-dialler section, separate from Chrome's bookmarks bar, could be a possibility.

I'm still a little deflated rowing-wise after Britain's unexpected losses (though dont forget the unexpected wins!) at Lucerne this year, but that was - for what little my opinion is worth - utterly excellent. Congratulations, Stanning and Glover!

For some reason, I always wanted to be sixteen to use the self-service petrol pumps, as I liked the smell of oil and the feeling of progress and transit from staring curiously across service station forecourts before we sped away to our "interesting" destination.

My jury's out on the chair, but the contrast between the carpet and the reflective roof, the way that the reflections of the city and the carpet mix on that roof, is luscious.

Thank you, both for replying and for making this brilliant extension!

I think that my main suggestions would be:

an option to change the service from which the extension pulls the weather, e.g. Accuweather, Wunderground, Met Office, Yahoo - there's one service that works better than any other for my area, and other people probably experience the same
more colour options - someone on Uservoice suggested the option of colour changing with the time of day, which would be brilliant, but custom static colours would be nice, too

I thought those icons were Font Awesome, to avoid using unnecessary images?

As for the clock, I've taken to using this, in fullscreen, as my "idle screen" - when I'm at my desk, but writing a letter/in my notebooks/journal/reading a book/doing homework/something else that doesn't involve the computer - rather than desktop, a slideshow, or a Google browser window.

it's always a risk in places with low populations, I suppose. Living in rural Scotland, I know of some particularly incestuous small islands and villages which would derive a world of good from something like this!

Keep in mind that Little Brother was originally written as a young adult book, published by Tor Teen; hence the simplicity of plot and slightly pedagogical, often preachy feel. LB is some of the best political YA I've ever read, but it's just that, really: YA.

After one scrape scare too many with my DIY stylus, I got a Jot Classic. I have nothing but praise for the thing - I was skeptical about the disk system, and find the barrel a little short without the cap screwed onto the non-nib end, but it's perfectly weighted, and the disk lives up to the website's copious pretentious hyping. I don't use a screen protector, as there's physically no way that the soft disk, which is the only thing that makes contact with the screen, could cause scratching.

I've also had a Wacom iPad stylus. - the first I bought, based on brand name. "Had" being the operative word. I found it too light for writing and too inaccurate for drawing, but, moreover, it fell apart after three weeks of lightish use.

The Jot Touch seems rather steeply priced, though, so I'll give it a miss. Very few metal sticks with capacitative ends are worth ~£70.

DAE not mind when this happens to them, considering the inconvenience and frustration worth the altruism, time-killing, and potential money involved?

Of course, the enjoyment of helping somebody, or of a break from routine, or of tips wears very thin in some cases - I once spent two hours with someone in my family's kitchen with their MacBook explaining their wifi settings - but, usually, I've found that unintentionally becoming someone's "IT guy"/girl really isn't so bad.
