   Target knows everything about their customers. I'm not even kidding. There's a whole outline of their data mining in the book "The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business". It's scary.

    I've been using a standing desk for 9 months now. I'm a software architect and my days run 8-12 hours, depending on what fires I'm putting out. I found an Ikea Jerker desk on Craigslist for $75, then picked up an industrial a

    Build it fast & cheap, stand it up and see who pays. No one wants to spend a lot of money on something when there's no guarantee of profits. And if you take your time to do it right, someone else will beat you to the market.

    Leave it as-is. IIRC, YouTube swiped the newsfeed design from Facebook last year or so. Facebook probably picked up some of these new-to-them UI concepts from other sites. Who cares?

    You might try asking this on http://stackoverflow.com/ , but you'd be surprised in how many companies would go for a paid product over open source. The main reason, so they can "choke someone when it all goes to hell" (to quote a coworker)

    We opened up an office there just over a year ago. Finally saw it in March last year. We'd planned to go in January, but the few feet of snow and freezing weather wasn't going to fly with my fellow Texans. When we did get out there, it was

    At work, I've got a pair of 27.5" monitors @ 1920 x 1200. I've moved to a standing desk that has a riser which puts them more at eye level and also further away than they were at my cubicle desk. At home, I have a pair of 25.5" monitors, al
