Oh please no. It is a terrible design to work with, the screw holes were put where they fit between wire traces, so random, and they don't provide sufficient support for the board under the GPIO header (or anywhere else) Then there ar

Every TV, my Twitter feed, Facebook, Google News, Google+, Newsblur... all Rob Ford. HN was my last refuge from this madness. It is so unbelievably ridiculous, this could (should) be a Chuck Palahniuk story.

The editorialized headline for that article would be: "BlackBerry cancels Gartner subscription." Gartner provides very insightful analysis, but I thinks most enterprise customers and vendors maintain a healthy skepticism to anyt

I always enjoy visiting afrigadget.com , where people are figuring out solutions to their own problems with available resources. Definately a different perspective than I have ever seen on TV.

Articles that debate DST always seem to have some strange anecdotal comment that doesn't make any sense. This article has a couple, but I would love to see the source for: "Many farmers still don't like DST, including some d

From Engadget: Hudl features a 7-inch (1,440 x 900 resolution) display for watching those Blinkbox titles in 720p, a quad-core 1.5GHz processor, stock Android 4.2.2, a microSD slot for supplementing the 16GB of internal storage and, accordi

This will be a difficult fight to win if those they are working against happen to be intercepting phone calls and other communication. Here lies the whole problem with mass surveillance and could be a different way to help explain why the

I suggest reading the article before making a comment. Jimmy Wales tweeted, "This is super cool!" about a girl presenting her Raspberry Pi story, "I started to learn Python...".

I buy most of my books on Kobo and O'Reilly. Kobo is usually quite a bit cheaper than Amazon. I am in Canada, so they have a great selection here, but I am not sure what another country's store would look like. Further, they use

I found Google+ great for collaborating with the maker community. The strength is use cases that involve discovery of pictures (&diagrams) + discussion of ideas/things, as the communities feature works well for this. Adafruit is makin

It's called bankruptcy. I'd get on it. Austerity is going to start civil wars at this rate. Oh yeah, and next time, don't bail out banks run by sociopaths.

Love love love my e-cig. No one has a clue in the office. I quit smoking quite a while back, but I still had cheaters from time to time. I really think nicotine has a much more permanent effect on the brain than we are led to believe. If y

E-Juice is available with and without nicotine. Without, it is basically a tiny humidifier. I haven't seen any reference to nicotine in the ads.

This is the danger of building self confidence for the sake of self esteem. It can set people up for an epic fail. In a world of helicopter parents and misguided, but well intentioned, efforts to give everyone a star, it will eventually b

In Alberta, I passed the test for a learners permit at 14, which required being with a licenced driver. Practicing driving at 14 on Sunday mornings and quiet highways is an excellent way to learn to drive, and I think to train the brain to

This story is a lesson on confirmation bias: Professors that immediately decide that the student is wrong, and must be convinced otherwise. The spreadsheet financial analysis that provided the expected results and therefore never checked fo

It is for articles like these, that TL,DR was created. EVGENY MOROZOV thinks that Tim O'Reilly is a self promoter who uses his clout to convince people that being skilled at promoting ideas via the Internet will be critical to success in th

One of the interesting projects that Nortel was developing before they went into bankruptcy protection was web.alive. It is a 3D collaboration platform built on the Unreal engine. The biggest problem was that it only supported windows and

There is nothing wrong with XMPP, but it is an instant messaging and presence protocol. Google started adding point to point video and audio calls which is a hack that doesn't work well when you want to incorporate video/audio conference,

I agree that DST works well in the summer, but let's not bother switching back in the winter. We would get all of the advantages of DST, without the expense of time changes. It really would be better to have the last glimpse of sun at the

If everyday use cases can be performed without effort, then I think people will find that glass is invaluable. This would drive adoption and eventually acceptance in public. For the time when I repaired the espresso machine or my laptop co

I ran into a company that has created software that allows 3D gesture sensing with inexpensive IR devices. It would seem to be perfect for this use. WebOS with gestures is a lot more intuitive than any of the remotes on my coffee table.

MS astroturfing seems to be on overdrive the last year. It is so bad now that I treat MS product reviews with the same skepticism as the national enquirer. For example, the sudden journalist interest in "Microsoft is cool" studies this we

I think Elon is justified for taking a public stance to protect his own interests. As his companies develop products with the same battery technology, it is likely that the hazards of the Boeing battery design could become associated to the
