I'm all for this, but I'm a bit miffed about the terminology: autonomous/robot/self-driving cars. "Autopilot" is shorter, simpler and well-established - and IMHO more accurate, as long asa human driver ready to take over at any time is stil

I think the issue is with discrete (line-at-a-time) vs. smooth (pixel-at-a-time) scrolling. Two-finger scrolling typically sends the latter type of event, which is not yet widely supported in Windows and Linux software (although I have it w

I've said this before in another thread but I think it bears repeating here: You'll be happy to hear that the X1 Carbon has a new trackpad, which has been described by Notebookreview as "Oh my! Best touchpad surface ... ever!". The gizmodo

I just downloaded the latest beta and I'm really quite impressed. Everything seems way faster (or at least more responsive), scrolling is far smoother than it ever was before, and the new UI seems great so far. Some changes I noticed just n

I don't see how this is selling out. Something kids care about is being used to promote math and science (and perhaps even help them understand it, in the case of gravity). He even says, quite directly, "learn math and science and get a ne
