In addition to the power efficiency, one advantage of an e-ink screen is that it does not illuminate a room at night. And interestingly, a Kindle or similar device still seems to be the cheapest way to get a touch-enabled e-ink display of a reasonable size.
FWIW the Kindle Paperwhite also has an Experimental "Beta Browser" that can display websites and execute some JavaScript - I am using that for a similar project, a basic dashboard / light switch web application hosted on a Raspberry Pi.

I use Pencil, too.
It has some limited features and the UX could be better, but it is open source and works across Linux, OSX and Windows, so other people on the team can edit diagrams I have created.
It is a feature of the GIF format. You can specify how often the animation shall loop or that it should loop forever.
I still use Picasa, because it is so fast and easy to just copy an SD card somewhere to my hard drive and have it show up at the top of Picasa seconds later.
Then I browse the pictures, star the ones I like and process them.
An no other software I have tried so far comes close in terms of speed and UI efficiency.
So I would also love to try PhotoStructure and have signed up via your landing page.
Do you need Photoshop or Lightroom to use these tools or do they work standalone as well? I can't find this info on the website at all.
I can highly recommend Dreamlines. It's a great place to work.
Can it play web radio, i.e. shoutcast streams?
Following that link consistently makes my Firefox crash. Anybody else experiencing this?
The automatic alignment helps prevent ghosts from camera shake. But it would be interesting to see how they avoid ghosts from moving subjects like leaves in the wind if they are effectively exposing longer (by taking several photos in a row).
I tried a lot of the popular Backup solutions (like Acronis and others I don't remember now), but none of them really worked for me.
I'm using HardlinkBackup for incremental, local USB backups (periodically creates a new folder with a full snapshot of the entire disk but de-duplicates across snapshots with NTFS hard links).

For Cloud Backups I'm a happy Backblaze customer.
OK, I've been digging into this a bit further. When I do a request from a remote machine, I do get an Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header, but from my local machine, this header is missing.
I assume that the proxy on this network discards the header and thus breaks the site.
I guess this means they won't be announcing Retina MacBook Airs at WWDC in June.
So it's not as easy as walking into your bank, sending a text message to the ATM and walking out with a lot of free money.
You actually need physical access to a USB port of the ATM which is hidden somewhere inside. So I guess the hack here is that the money inside an ATM is very well hidden and even protected by exploding paint barrels so it cannot normally be stolen even with physical access for a long period of time. But it is possible to get the Windows XP based software to dispense money from the safe by injecting a trojan through USB.
Unfortunately, the article does not make that very clear.
This post is already a few years old:

1) Why the clickbait title?
2) What do you want my Geolocation for?
3) Why can't I middle click or ctrl+click any links in the article?
From the rather vague text I can imagine they are doing matrix multiplication in JavaScript and assigning the end result to a CSS transform. Instead of doing multiple transforms in CSS which is slower. The end result is smoother HTML5 animations but I haven't yet figured out where they reinvented the web.
I'm sceptical. You can actually use the upper button on the left side of the app pictured in the article [1] to calibrate that app. So you could make it show whatever inaccuracies you wanted. And it's far from an "unfixable sensor problem" that "would put a dent in Apple's reputation".
Also, analog bubble levels aren't always perfectly accurate either.

Thank you, I'll try rebooting the phone.
I recently read an article here on HN that briefly touched on memory management under iOS and especially the problem of apps getting killed, maybe it is interesting for you: http://sealedabstract.com/rants/why-mobile-web-apps-are-slow... (scroll down to "How much memory is available on iOS?")
It crashes for me every time I take somewhere between 60 and 75 frames with the main camera. With the front-facing camera, I can shoot forever.
In the iPhone Settings (somewhere called Diagnosis & Usage), I have a bunch of LowMemory warnings. I'm using an iPhone 4S.
Mind you, that whole thing happend in 2008. And this article doesn't add any new information nor does it sum up the already known info all that well.
They are also allegedly not filtering a set of white-listed ads, most of which come from companies that pay 30% of their ad revenue to the company behind AdBlock Plus.
You cannot use a scroll wheel, which is annoying enough.
I'd say it was mainly a plug for "TransferWise".
'cutting edge' - with a double t - it's also misspelled on your homepage.
Won't read the article because I got the big popup slammed into my face while I was in the middle of reading the first paragraph.
