Very similar to current MacBooks, if not a little bit crisper. Could do with a bit more travel just like most new laptops.

It hasn't been an issue, and I thought it might be. I believe all the current MacBooks have the power button in the same location. Luckily OS X and Windows let you disable sleeping when the power button is pressed.

Purchased the UX305 about two weeks ago for ~$630 (15% off at the Microsoft Store) with tax. I have nothing but good things to say about the hardware - screen, keyboard, and touchpad are A+, and I'm getting 8-10 hours working in Visual

I've been looking for a good email editor for a while now. Any chance of BeeFree being embeddable, either as a service or open source?

It looks like the temporary fix is just adding a registry key[1]. This can be automated via login scripts or pushed in a SCCM package. 1: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/295309...

Last I checked all of the Prius models are still built in Japan. Toyota has been talking about a US factory on and off for a few years, but I don't think anyone substantial has come of it yet.

Resizing is our #1 issue with DO. The current quick resize adds cores and RAM just fine, but it's a one way trip. It's not possible to shrink upsized instances like you can on Linode. On DO you can't even restore a snapshot o

The phone system where I work unfortunately doesn't support forwarding extensions like this. Instead I setup a Google Voice number that is a local call for everyone at the office.

Try teaching the HR officer who is afraid of the maximize button to use a VM. Even Windows 7 XP mode is scary - the chrome is different.

I'm not sure the linked data is correct. The charts from the 2012 SHEEO report [1] shows revenue/student increasing from $10,869 in 1991 to $11,095 in 2012 (these are 2012 dollars). Here is the page with links to the 2012 report a

Part of it was contracted to "CGI Group of Canada" - the same company that created the Federal exchange[1]. Word around town is that Doe Anderson[2] helped out, though that might have just been for marketing materials. The state g

As of Mountain Lion, the recovery partition doesn't contain the full OS. Just enough to bootstrap and download the whole thing from Apple. They also do not sell the update on physical media (thumb drives, DVDs, etc.) in store.

T-Mobile actually now has a per-day plan - $3/day for voice, SMS, and 200MB of data. SIM kits are ~$10. http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/pay-by-the-day-cell-phone...

T-Mobile USA has decoupled devices and plans. You can BYOD, or buy one of their phones by putting down money and then paying a portion monthly until it's paid off. For example, the Galaxy S4 is $99.99 up front, and $21/month for 2

Most people don't consider the true cost of a phone contract. They're only truly considering the up front cost - and a mid-range phone "costs half". It's really hard to get the average smartphone buyer to understand

The older Asus MeMo 7" is $99, but has worse specs than a 2012 Nexus 7 (lower res, single vs quad core). Asus is about to start shipping their new MeMo HD 7" for ~$150. On paper, it's somewhere between the 2012 and 2013 Nexus

No wattage or anything yet, but power usage is a concern. Engadget just posted an article about the hardware, which includes this quote: The console runs in multiple power states, which means it runs in a low-wattage setting when not in us
