In my n = 1 study, I can (sadly) report that memory management is the same as it was in Lion. Some people are reporting that it's improved, but I'm not sure they ever had the evil beach ball spinning as much as I did on an early 2011 MB Pro

It seems that the only real error made by Wheat Belly's author was bending the study by claiming its subjects were all obese with celiac disease. Apart from this, the comments contains many anecdotal responses from people who have dropped n

How about we all just eat real food? Stay in the perimeter of the super market -- with the exception of some canned fish -- and you should be okay. You can't go wrong with fruit, vegetables, meat, seafood, tubers, nuts, and seeds. As for wh

You make it sound as if the employees were all unpaid interns. So long as nothing extra is negotiated at the time of the job offer, then those employees knew (and were probably delighted by) exactly what they were getting. I don't expect my

Yeah, how dare he try to promote his website and become a future millionaire. If by sleazy you mean smart and willing to do what it takes to carve out a comfortable life for yourself, then yeah, he's sleazy.

Digg was at the top of their game when this video was shot. Digg v3 was a massive success. It's only when they introduced v4 and pandered to social media sites (a decision made by Kevin) that it took a nosedive.

This is something I've never understood. Yeah, the registry is a nightmare if you have to fiddle around there, but the taskbar? My god, the Windows 7 taskbar is the paragon of desktop computing perfection. It consolidates a launcher, window

But is it a computer? Take a look at these press shots: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en/us/default.aspx While it may look like a handy tablet that's able to convert into a thin and light laptop computer through the use of one of their

While gyros are way cool, adding them for stability reeks of overengineering when simply adding another wheel could achieve the same effect. This reminds me of the urban myth of the Russians using a pencil instead of spending money to devel

I could see Apple releasing a 7" "iPad mini", but certainly not a cent lower than $299. Apple would need to reprice the current iPod touch from $199 to $149. Also, at that price, I can't see it having a retina display. The 1024 X 768 resolu

In motor vehicle accidents, you don't have time to think about what is going to happen. As a plane is in a freefall, there's at least a good 30 seconds before ground collision. Having that time to think about how your life is about to end s

Great, another horror story to add to my "this is why I abhor air travel" bank. I know the statistics show that planes are very safe, but it's hard to reconcile the numbers with grisly accounts like these.

I'm just poking my head in here to sing Udacity's praises. Their CS-101 class is phenomenal; it is hands down the best intro to CS on the web. The fact that it's free is just icing on the cake. The 1 unit per week for 7 weeks pace is demand

The hard route? OMGPOP was incorporated in 2006, Zynga in 2007. They've been trying their hand at online games for a while now. This isn't an overnight success.

Ha, about five years ago I thought about how I wanted Valve to compete with Alienware in the gaming PC business, and how they would brand their rig the "Steam Box". Interesting to see something happening here. Also, I bet a Valve-branded "S

There's no two ways around being able to get up in the morning. Go to bed 7-9 hours before you wish to wake up, that's it. I'm not sure what the obsession is with over engineering alarm clocks, but the problem isn't the little gizmo on your
