Stardock release tool to give Windows 10 the Windows 7 start menu
Windows 10 is out and it's okay, especially if the numbers are to be believed. One problem with upgrading Windows every time since XP has been the severe downgrade in start button usability. Windows 7 broke the mold, both in that area and by being pretty great overall.

Miniature Calendar
Everyone must have had similar thoughts at least once. Broccoli and parsley might sometimes look like a forest, or the tree leaves floating on the surface of the water might sometimes look like little boats. Everyday occurrences seen from a pygmy’s perspective can bring us lots of fun thoughts.

The Mothers Of ISIS
In Calgary, between the soccer practices and the hours at her accounting job and the potlucks with the neighbors, Christianne Boudreau spent every spare minute watching Islamic State videos, her nose pressed up against the computer screen. She sat in the basement of her middle-class home in her middle-class suburb, a bare room that once belonged to her eldest son, Damian, and watched men posturing with big guns like teenagers. She watched firefights. She watched executions.

Upcoming API - Calling all Developers
As you may already know from other posts circulating Snapzu that we are scheduling to build an API that we plan to release some time in the next 2-3 months. We have thought about it long and hard and realized that at 2-3 month release date isn't good enough. So, we need your help! Our idea is to list the general things we would like and not like for a first version API to have and then continue working on it to release additional functionality as we grow and mature as a platform.
Functionality we don't wish to release with initial release
- Ability to create / manage / edit snaps
- Profile settings / visual settings
- Tribe Management / settings / visual settings
Functionality we would like for initial release
- Account creation
- Account login / management
- Access to snap / text post / comment history
- Ability to vote on all comments / snaps / text posts
- Ability to comment on snaps / text posts
- Ability to create text posts
- Ability to private message
- Profile Overview
If we can create a barebones API we would be able to release it much sooner (possibly inside 1.5 months). This will also allow us to continue working with developers on upcoming features which can be added to later releases. As a developer please let us know what type of barebones features you would like to see in the initial release (maybe we forgot some very important functions). We are also looking for general feedback on everything to do with API's. We plan to start next week, so any discussion on the subject is important to us, as we would like to work with you on making this the best API possible.

Commented in What food is overrated to you?
Chicken breast or white meat in general. It's tough, hard to season and annoying to grill. It has a plain taste and I just don't understand why everyone likes it. On the other hand, dark meat is juicy and delicious, it's full of flavor and grills amazingly well while retaining it's tenderness. I know some of you will say that I just don't know how to grill a chicken breast properly, and my reply is... Keep it. I'll stick with my dark meat, grilled boneless thighs is where its at. And for those who are wondering, here is a quick guide to chicken meat: http://www.doitdelicious.com/kitchen_guide/detail/know_thy_chicken

Nokia Is Gearing Up for a Mobile Comeback
Nokia is hiring software experts, testing new products and seeking sales partners as it plots its return to the mobile phone and consumer tech arena it abandoned with the sale of its handset business. Once the world's biggest maker of mobile phones, the Finnish firm was wrongfooted by the rise of smartphones and eclipsed by Apple and Samsung. It sold its handset business to Microsoft in late 2013 and has since focused squarely on making telecoms network equipment.
