I believe Opera had a feature to search from the URL box before Chrome did, and I think it arguably worked better than Chrome’s. You had keywords or letters to search specific things on different sites without visiting the landing page. “a the beatles” would search Amazon for The Beatles, “g the beatles” would search…

I should have known when I saw the map with pins in the foyer, but I just assumed he was just really well traveled. We walked about a half block from this Hollywood bar and I’d had so much to drink that I was probably too drunk to put two and two together anyway.

I was messing around, spoofing my GPS once and set my location to Antartica. I remember turning on Grindr and seeing only one guy show up on the grid.

Latin America thanks you.

Some musicians put up performances of classical pieces under Fair Use. They don’t specifically have to be recorded before 1923.

Can’t tell if you’re trolling but—I’ll try and break it down. As per the article, California imposes the same regulations on Airbnb’s that it imposes on landlords. Refusing to rent a living space to someone because of their race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc, is a violation of these regulations.

I guess I’m a little burned by gay visual novels in the same way that I’m burned by the coming out story in gay books and films. They’re cute but it’s been done to bits and I sort of wish there was a little more variety. I totally understand that a AAA studio isn’t going to sit down and make a blockbuster game that’s…

Yeah, I’m familiar with his work—but like you said, there’s nothing really substantial there, which is a shame. Not to put down his work. He’s a much more of a capable software developer than I am.

No shade. Why are all gay games visual novels? I mean, I understand that most have a story to tell and narrative works are best transcribed into VNs but like... it’s 2017. Where’s the cute indie lesbian RPG? Or the Gay Bathhouse simulator?

I know everyone likes to shit on it because they perceive the resolution as anticlimactic and the aliens were kind of a cop-out but I think Contact had it right:

I also grew up thinking that it would be easier to integrate—like perhaps if you spent time convincing people that you are like them, it makes it easier for you to forget that you aren’t.

Was the rest of the passport fraudulent as well or just the photo? That might explain the high percentage.

All y’all: The Wii U startup menu was really bogged down and sluggish!

There’s value in having something that doesn’t have a ton of bells and whistles. I’ve been using iA Writer over Word for the past couple of years (granted, for pleasure and not work).

The text prediction for my nokias were above and beyond those of the iPhone once it got used to my regular vocabulary. It would even do swear words correctly. If I didn’t know how to spell a word, it would sometimes bog me down, though!

I could always type much faster on a numeric keypad than I ever could in the years I’ve been using a touchscreen keyboard. Texting and music are the main things I use my phone for so if this thing has a basic Mp3 player... I’m kinda sold.

Are you new here at gawkerlite gizmodo? They’ve been pulling these colorful insults for ages. It’s pretty much tradition.

Because what you see ... isn’t always the truth.

Pandering to the Yo-kai Watch kiddos, no doubt.

I wish more western musicians played around with dissonant chords. Fiona Apple did some amazing stuff with them in her last album.
