There is one missing item in this analysis: Outlook and other email clients that let you push the down arrow to see the next email and continue on. I think open-rate is a terrible and meaningless metric unless there is a filter specifying @

I flatly refuse to use TL;DR. I am not aiming to talk to anyone who asks for TL;DR. Those people are not my audience. Oddly, I feel that those that ask for TL;DR are the very ones who should be reading the entire article, but that is likely

Why did you convert to skim? I don't have any viable sources, but I thought skim was not only tasteless, but not any more healthy than other milk. At least one study has shown skim increases cardiovascular plaque. I don't really like to sta

I don't own an iPhone and never used one, but reading the comments is surprising. I didn't realize how bad the Google Maps app was for iPhone, ie. no turn-by-turn, large ads, et.al. I'm rather shocked that people are complaining so much abo

Oddly, I don't find this idea too offensive, especially since so many companies have large security holes via social engineering. If the applicants are this lackadaisical in keeping their own data private, why would I trust them with the co
