For me, I'm a college student and that means I have a notebook with me most places anyways, and if its not a physical notebook, its my TabletPC. I usually write notes down in a reserved section in all my class notebooks if I'm in class and

Nice rebuttal, I wish you the best of luck, it seems like something with a good amount of potential. I especially liked your perspective on because the gaming services do this and you pay them for it, they can implement better features for

I think this is an innovative approach to getting more people involved with grid computing for major computations and a clever way to market it in general. However, I agree with some other people here, there has got to be some sort of lice

All good ideas of directions to take this, imo. Now that's insight. The have a different sponsor every day is something I thought of while I was making my pointless post (see bottom of this page) but neglected to mention.

I have to agree with you, when it comes down to the internet, its all about the ease of distributing information about whats happening RIGHT NOW. Take most of the technology blogs, and even HN for example. A great portion of what's on her

I agree with the article, it would be a good move for Microsoft overall...however, I'm not sure how happy the userbase would be if any the comments to the article are to be any representation. I don't understand why some people are so hard

I'm interested to see how well the service fairs when it launches and I'm just as interested in seeing the response from those developers who are being able to test the platform. I think that this could potentially be a "step in the right

For me, I learned by obsvering my mother who owns a small retail shop and how she did accounting. I also took a course at my high school. I've not really done much of online accounting research so I don't know where would be the best place

I think Steve Jobs is right in saying that it will likely remain a hobby for this upcoming year, but in the same sense I believe thats because nobody is really taking a truly proactive, innovative, or scalable approach to it, Apple (and Box

I didn't compete in it but I was very impressed with what some of these people pumped out, and some of them looked like they didn't even really have any history on the scene and they still made impressive apps.

The Windows addition is saying something. I think this clearly represents that Amazon is wanting to stay up with it and is, in a way, preparing for the "Windows Strata" announcement that supposed to come at the developers convention. I'm

This is the most outragous story I've ever read. It's insulting and definitely says something about corporate structure today. I wonder if any of these companies are on the "Best Places to Work" list... I'm technically a millennial and I

From my personal perspective, I'm half expecting Yahoo to end up just like AOL. A subsidiary of a media conglomerate that is just used when making bad jokes and referencing the past. Their current position definitely indicates this, and I

Good analogy. It pretty much hits the nail on the head, question is... by Tiger was he referring to another larger company or is he talking specifically about the colorful names that Apple gives its OS X models?
