I loved the SE, but last year in New York I suddenly knew the SE form factor was doomed. I forget the app I was using, but with the navigation buttons at the top and the options at the bottom, there was less than a 1 inch vertical bar with

Great Bezos quote: “I very frequently get the question: ‘What’s going to change in the next 10 years?’ And that is a very interesting question; it’s a very common one. I almost never get the question: ‘What’s not going to change in the next

The touchpad on my new Lenovo X1 is great enough that the only thing that I miss about my Macs is the incredible resale value.

Actually, people thought I unfriended them. There was no point in me making a post, it would have been impossible for them to see it through all of the promoted content in their newsfeed. Om is right, Facebook is not needed, but to me Face

OneNote even has a code format, but it still messes with capitalization. I gave up when MS announced mobile only and the desktop app is done.

Correct conclusion, strip the info. EXIF is a mess on the web, thankfully Digikam easily normalizes all of my photos with simple batch process. Not my videos though.

Another comment spelled it out: LinkedIn's mobile app has several dark patterns, but the worst is the one that spams everyone in your Gmail. This is particularly a problem for Gmail because it makes a contact for everyone you ever ema

It is great that LinkedIn just reports 500+ connections. It truly is an unimpressive stat. It's been a valuable platform for me, so I keep it around. The only things to remember: don't install the mobile app and get used to igno

Yeah, the claim caught me too. Just an example: CMGI, Inc. was calling themselves an Internet Incubator around 1995. Probably better to make a claim based on success.

Back in 1970 when these laws were written, 10,000 was worth abouy 65000 today. These laws need to be revised for inflation. The idea that someone needs to justify having 10K in cash or proof of where it came from is far too low today. See

Just anecdotal, but I think this simple study supports the idea that it is worth exploring the cause of non-critical health issues before we start slicing and cutting. I grew up with the worst ear infections. Tonsils were removed, and vari

As I recall from opening my account in the 90's the photo feature was always there. It was "forward thinking" at the time, but I can't say they have kept up that pace.

Feed the masses and dine with the classes. Apple is focusing on the 80%, and have developed a strategic advantage based on privacy. This is not a new lesson. Commercially this is smart and profitable, but it was at the expense of the 20%.
