I thought libel was the only case where the onus of proof is on the defendant.

oh, there's always one! (:

I think this may have been what was stuck in my head. I thought I was having a major deja vu

Didn't we have this post last week? I remember the clock picture from somewhere recently because I was thinking how cool it was.

If I was running a store and Lifehacker gave out advice (which later turned out to be wrong) telling people not to buy my tomatoes because I keep them in my panties drawer (strictly an example) and I demonstrably lost sales because of this I would be on my way to the lawyer before long.

The contract is when you click 'I Agree' to the terms and conditions.

No there might not be but if it is determined that LH's (unqualified) advice which at this moment - things may change is based on little more than hearsay as there are competing statements from both sides of the dispute led to a serious drop in Backify's client base then somebody may end up being sued. I don't care…

Revisiting...

Sounds like an internal spat between Backify and Livedrive

Are you distinguishing between copy/pasting script and just typing it in. I can only speak for IE9 but if you paste script into the address bar it removes the javascript prefix and sends the rest to your default search provider. I would have thought all the latest versions of the main browsers did this. I seem to…

I'm in complete agreement. Facebook use will catch up with its users bigtime sooner or later. Social networking is a strictly temporary phenomenon anyway; in ten years we'll all be wondering why we posted our most intimate details online.

What is that linguistic phenomenon called, Word Drift? When the meaning and use of a word changes over a period of decades...

Word is this was due to users being tricked into pasting javascript into the address bar. The latest versions of all browsers don't allow executing code this way and now is the time to update to the latest version of your browser, whatever it may be and in particular remove IE6 and older versions of Firefox. I…

I hope it's not as bad as the new Netflix app for phones. It is awful. No sync between audio and video, unexplained pauses, endless buffering, force closes. They took a perfectly good app and ruined it in one swoop. Not only that but if you reinstall a previous version in won't run unless you upgrade. Before…

Yes you're correct, can you not distinguish between fun and seriousness?

If an unauthorized charger fries your phone then put your regular Apple approved charger in the microwave for a second or two and fry that too. Take phone and charger back to Apple and play dumb.

I've heard on good authority that broadcasting your audio to a bluetooth headset uses less power than pushing those electrons around wired headset speakers. I can't find the link - I think it was cnet but I have a guy at work says he's tested it and found it to be true. Bluetooth is a very weak signal after all - I…
