Check out NameSilo. Not too many fancy extensions but the free privacy is always nice and prices are reasonable.

I don't like how none of the pictures display the FireTV Stick with power cord vs Chromecast which does not require one. In fact, only 2 subtle note even alludes to a power cord.

Excitedly waiting for a new Android tablet but 32GB max is too little for that price tag.

I suppose Google expects more photo/video taking on phones vs tablet hence lower storage?

Is this in partnership with the listed restaurants? Otherwise it is almost like ticket scalping... :\

Congrats to Songza! I really like Songza and discovered many great music I otherwise would not have found with the service. It has become my go to for music discovery.

I hope Songza continues and become even better. :)

This Loyal3 looks interesting because of the IPOs, credit card purchasing, and the no fees option.

However I am wondering what happens if the company (LOYAL3) folds since it allows fractional shares? Closest reference I found was this,

"LOYAL3 Securities, Inc., as a broker-dealer, has to comply with certain regulations regarding the requirement to have adequate net capital and asset protection. LOYAL3 segregates your securities holdings and cash in your account, meaning it keeps your assets separate from the firm’s own assets. In addition, LOYAL3 Securities, Inc., is a member of SIPC, which protects securities of the customers of its members up to $500,000 (including $250,000 for claims for cash). An explanatory brochure is available at www.sipc.org."

Surprised I got a 0 as well! At some point I was not sure if my monitor color collaboration was off or I am seeing patterns.

At first I was under the impression that it isn't WordPress specific but it looks that way when you read the bottom about the plugin.

Quickly browsing though it also looks to have flavors of Kickstarter for plugins "backing".

Since the file is uploaded to Torpedo servers, details on the encryption/security should probably be shared.

Is there a reason you chose not to specify what the game is on the page?

It took me awhile to figure out that it was a Rock Paper Scissors game. Only after did I realize that was what RPS stood for. Then looked at GitHub where the real description was.

I had a Lytro when it first came out and returned it a week later.

This was the exact reason why. The refocusing aspect sounded useful and appealing at first but the lack of other features quickly made the device lose real-world applications. This new one looks much cooler/normal and offers more features hw/sw wise but with that price tag I am not sure who their target market is.
