It's actually touch mixed with stylus handwriting that I think will become useful. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=476184 I expect it will first be put to good use by a company like Evernote. That's my interest anyway.

Yes, but more often I'll spend some time writing a comment then fret about word order a bit before submitting it. Immediately after submitting it I'll realize my fretting has mangled my intended message and I'll have to edit the comment. A

Reading your second comment in this thread leaves me wondering if it would be safe for an american to travel the same as you did. I had wanderlust a few years ago and reading your post makes me want to go wandering abroad again. I would g

I agree with David Mathers. I believe that time has given you enough perspective to put you more than one level above Solomon. Its poetry is enough reason for me to see it in the Bible, and it reminds us that fame and money themselves are

Well, I reacted bit out of emotion there. Hence the shot at Greenday. I've been in a bad mood today, sorry. I didn't mod you down by the way, your comment doesn't deserve a down mod so I righted it. Our ideals are different, and I disagr

It doesn't matter if Walmart chooses to sell their album or not. It isn't as if they're being hypocritical, they aren't, they frequently sell censored material. They were the first to drop GTA after the Hot Coffee scandal; I believe I rec

For a tablet to be really useful to me it would need to be a hybrid. Tablet for reading and browsing, laptop for email. But there is a middle ground of texts and chat that can be easily taken care of with handwriting recognition. ...[ha

Now, why would Apple need to compete on price to bring price down? It isn't their thing, yet they may still bring price down, and they can certainly bring demand up. Take the iPhone as an example. Before the iPhone I did not believe I co

Thats nice, but I was hoping they would add tags to their bookmarks so it could be integrated with Google bookmarks. I would like to be able to reach my bookmarks away from home and I prefer tags to folders.

Oh, it wasn't really saying anything; I thought you knew something I didn't. I got Spivak hearing that it would be good, and it is, I really like his writing style, but its going to take me a long while before I can tackle Spivak. How

Spivak's grad level? I hear he's taught to honors freshman at UT. He certainly is more difficult than a text by an unknown author.

I don't like the idea of having money that has different sizes. I would prefer if the colored bar on the left had a different texture and each denominartion had a differently sized block of alternate texture. Then the blind could simply f

I'm not a programmer, but IIRC normal division, as shown (4/5), used to do integer division, but now in python 3 it follows the behavior you show. Notice the "from __future__ ..."line implies that the following lines all follow the python

I'm particularly impressed with the way they modeled loops, which is always a hard thing to explain to new developers. I remember trying to learn Perl from one of the O'Reily books when I was 11 or 12. I was following the examples and ge

It's so funny to hear people rave about Gmail when I was using better mail clients in 1992. So you must still be using better email clients. Gmail is the best I've come accross; I love tags compared to folders. Please, what is better?

Likewise, I might be willing to pay for Pandora, though I don't currently, and I would be willing to pay for gmail. But, I don't like the idea of having a recurring cost to use email unless I can copy all of my mail out into another progra
