I am not a physical therapist, but I did find a video of some interesting hand/wrist/elbow exercises which can be done at a desk or while riding in a car. [1] [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hlWgH3_0NU

HP should just give a tablet away to anyone who signs up to be a developer even if it is a back door for consumers to get a nearly free tablet. Maybe even put the free tablet at the end of an Ares tutorial [1]. It's a little late for a back

Are you saying Sega is a model for success? The same Sega that was so bankrupt after going software only that it was bought by a pachinko machine company (Sammy) that eventually gutted the game development teams to right the sinking ship? T

You can go check. USPS has a long way to go before it comes close to the prices UPS and FedEx charge. It's like comparing coach to business class airline tickets for the vast majority of mail. The postal service is truly an amazing service

This is very interesting. As the article states, most SNES emulators are inaccurate by quite a bit. Despite that the incompatibilities are mostly imperceptible. Perfect emulation of the brain and human intelligence may be a long way away. B

Wouldn't a better archival method be archive.org if that is legal or bittorrent if it's not? These instructions are cool and all, but the former are a bit more practical for the purposes of saving the music for posterity.

Nothing exists in a vacuum. You will presumably infringe on other patents in the pool for dumb stuff everyone needs like search boxes, buttons, and scroll bars. Put one in the wrong place or put the wrong label on it and you're suddenly inf

I think articles that are not the original source should be merged as comments under the original source since they are often just another news organization or blogger commenting on the source without additional source data. This will also

Note that 100 miles is the ideal range under ideal conditions. Consumer Reports did some preliminary driving tests [1] of the Nissan Leaf and found in extreme cold they barely got 8 miles of range on a full charge in 10 degree (F) weather.

PCs have been without an optical drive for years before Apple did it. I had a laptop with no optical drive nine years ago and I'm sure it wasn't original then. Granted, the experience was so poor I vowed never to live withot a built-in opti

I am not a lawyer, but I completely disagree when estoppel is taken into consideration[1]. Sun publicly endorsed Google's implementation of Java and there is probably plenty of evidence it endorsed it privately as well. There is a reason a

This is clearly a controversial article. But I think it's fair to say Microsoft is not focused. Who can say what Microsoft's focus is these days? Without vision, the company and its followers will get lost. Microsoft may be able to stumble

Tolstoy is perhaps not the best example because he had little to do with the spelling, grammar, and sentence structure of his English language works. This was all done by the respective translator after the fact. A better author to use woul

Nobody can take Hulu international unless they acquire the respective licensing rights for that country. To explain, content creators figured out a long time ago they got more money by selling rights to content as specifically as possible.

I read this book and the Hands-on Node.js book by Pedro Teixeira of NodeTuts. I have to say, while The Node Beginner Books is a tremendous effort that deserves congratulations, I did learn more from buying Hands-on Node.js for those interes

Tax breaks are just another form of entitlement. Tax breaks are almost worse than other government benefits. It's basically taking out interest only loans on the tax payer's behalf. Here's $500 ... Oh and by the way, that comes with $500 wo

I highly recommend In the Plex to anyone on Hacker News interested in tech folklore. I'm sure even Googlers would find stories they hadn't heard before. The story of Google is an epic story fit for Homeric interpretation. Steven Levy also w

Engadget added hands on videos if you want to see a real device in action. http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/21/nokia-n9-first-hands-on/ The UI appears to be extremely smooth. There's also a demo of transitioning audio from phone to externa

I think the Like button is against Google's DNA which is why all these initiatives seem half assed. Google doesn't want to rely on users to say what they like. Instead Google looks at actual user behavior by examining logs. It's the same re

Is it the car that's deadly, or does the car attract deadly drivers? For example, are there other, stronger predictors of deadly accidents such as age, geography, or occupation? And are those people more likely to buy certain cars? I notice

I'm a BitCoin skeptic with the best of them. But this is breathtaking. That's one thing about bitcoins. There's no FDIC or SIPC watching your back. It's the wild west with train robberies and stage coach heists in all.
