But when was the last time you had a device that doubled as a brick?

From what I understand of the (very preliminary) plans for 8 is to integrate some of the elements from Surface, finally do away with the registry, and hide much of the filesystem from the end user among other things that may be more or less

I couldn't agree more. This article was filled with the kind of fluffy juxtapose that says a lot by saying nothing at all about what's actually going on. We stand on the verge of the next great technological expansion of biology, informatio

There's a dock for that.™ The problem with tablets is you always wind up yearning for the things you get with a laptop and it seems apparent the solution is dongles galore. I guess it's great for the peripheral market.

Maybe a few centuries into the future, but at this stage we're still focused on market economies. In your other post you mention betamax vs VHS. You can build a superior product, but if it's cost is too high it won't fit the market need. Ba

It benefits Chinese users to have competition between Baidu and Google. Otherwise, there's no reason for improvement. China want's to have a part in the information economy, not just the manufacturing economy.

I suspect that's unlikely. Google and it's country specific domains are the most trafficked sites on the internet. The level of visibility is too high to make examples of anyone. Worst case scenario they block access and carry on like nothi

True, last I checked MSBuild support for VC++ projects was lacking. I think their solution was to run the build through the visual studio command interface...hopefully it's gotten better.

Also worth point out is the ability to modify the MSBuild file to use parallel build paths - assuming the dependency tree is fairly flat.

I find it awkward as well. I grew up on a dairy farm and helped out with chores starting at the age of 10. Technically that's child labor and it's fairly common place. The utility of my labor had the same effect of helping my family. Though

I would add parts of alphabet city to that list. I can get from C ave to work on 8th ave in 30 minutes by bus, 15-20 by train. 1BR rent is $1650. Harlem is also gentrified and will run a little north of $1200. Express A train from 145th tak

More like hoping they lock in to their platform and feel a need to stick with it after having invested in several eBooks.

I messed with it as well, but I think there's a lot of inflated importance on page turning speed and it's probably fixable with a software rev either way. I've never been able to turn book pages much faster and it never hindered my reading

And hardware quickly becomes a commodity.

I agree on this point, but not because no one wants to. People talk about the "perfect device" and so you end up in feature hell and a device that does everything, but nothing well. It makes marketing easy. "Device X does 11 things, device

I definitely see the value in that and it goes for any career where creativity and insight is important. Taking the time to step back, disengage and then reengage with new ideas and perspectives can be very valuable. But like he said, it ne

I was raised in a rural area and grew up on a dairy farm, but I've lived in a suburb for the past 5 years. There is nothing natural, beautiful, or interesting about the environment to me. Its just an enormous waste of what used to be prime

To be fair, even what we consider the visible spectrum is subjective. We assign names to specific wavelengths, but that doesn't mean our brains interpret them the same way. Just ask someone that's colorblind.

Ignoring chemical imbalances, most depression stems from a loss of control in ones life. If depression is really just a side effect of having a self image and a sense of control over that future self image then the benefit is the ability to

Things can make you happy if they hold sentimental value. That Timex or Rolex could hold significantly higher value if it was a gift from someone you hold dear. Of course you could argue that it's the same thing since it has a memory bonded

Their personal lives are just that - personal. They're not a source of entertainment for you. I agree with everything up until that. It was work email, the personal stuff was just a side effect. I was more curious in the actual status of

Can't reach self actualization without an Apple enema. The whole "I'm a PC" response from MS was decent. Unfortunately, they didn't go after the fashion statement base, which are the only Mac users who bother me. They're the ones that could

Nah, it was at startup and I just diverted emails to a collector gmail account that separated the spam from the useful stuff. It would label each one and then another coworker and I would star the interesting ones. Did this for about 6 mont

"Your competitors can probably get a home equity loan at 6 percent on their McMansions. How much cheaper can your cost of capital possibly be?" Oh sweet blast from the past.
