The same is true of watches and nobody is calling for an act of congress about it. If you want something to be waterproof and small and lightweight, you are probably going to trade off some service accessibility. My watch (Timex) does not

Phones should come without batteries. The batteries should be in (easily replaced) phone cases!

I think the Commander X16 intends to be that computer where all the components are well documented and simple enough for a single person to fully (or almost fully) understand.

I would like to see phones and batteries decoupled; i.e., phones without batteries. Most people use phone cases anyway; put the battery in the phone case. Replace the case as desired.

I abandoned Microsoft compilers a long time ago due to their lack of support for newer C standards. I know a lot of other people that did, too. It may also have contributed to a lot of software developers moving to Linux, which has always h

Thank you to the MDN and Servo teams for all their hard work. Gutting the Servo team makes me wonder if management is going to move the rendering engine from Gecko to Blink. Perhaps the "Foxium" browser is "coming soon.&quo

Just make a plain C API like Win32, or... I can't tell if you're joking or not, but this seems very sensible to me, because it could offer great performance, and it's easy to create bindings from almost any language to C.

Honest question: Do you actually use scroll bars much? Yes, all the time.

They don't seem to know how to switch between apps very well. I'm temporarily between computers and using my iPad as my main computer. I also thought it would be a fun experiment so that I could learn the pros and cons of using

All video games are an artificial time waster. I couldn't disagree more. It depends on the video game, but a lot of them really get the brain working hard. And it's simply impossible for most people to be purely "productive

Please don’t add a mouse cursor to iOS, No! I assume you're talking about iPadOS. I use the new mouse support in iPadOS all the time, and absolutely love it when I'm using my iPad like it's a laptop computer at my desk. It&

This is a great idea. Every once in a while, I want to say "I'm sorry" to someone in another car, and I'm not sure how. Currently, I wave and grimace, but I'm not sure that gets the message across. I wonder what it

Intel is the last US company with a bleeding edge fab. Should Intel really be considered a U.S. company these days? I tend to consider companies like Intel (and IBM, and Apple, and Microsoft, etc.) international companies.

Java had a lot of "big things" going for it: 1. Write Once, Run Anywhere 2. GUI in the standard library 3. Way less complex than hyper-complex C++ 4. Garbage collection 5. Memory safety 6. Applets that ran in the web browser 7. Co

I've had a lot of trouble entering the Windows serial numbers when installing Windows. The B and 8 look alike, ditto for O and 0. I've had to use a magnifying glass on it. This kind of thing is a pet peeve of mine. So many codes
