Impressive for sure, not to knock it. But, as I recall reading, the mini HDD for the iPod was already developed by a vendor's R&D, sitting around for a use case. Which Apple decided to take exclusive advantage of. Thus, that iPo

On the topic of air quality, can anyone recommend a "fine dust meter" (or really just "regular dust meter")? I would prefer totally non-wireless (USB preferred, handheld okay). For CO2, the ZGm053U has been a great devi

Correct. Also, at 1x (which is what matters the most on desktop & mobile for me, I think) the bottom-most extent of the "leg" is not far enough down. There is too much orange under the leg. There should be more white at the

Tech companies could do like parts of legal apparently and try a "standard office" [0, 1] approach. It would be harder to have the bodies per square foot as compared with a "crammed industrial shop floor" in such buildin

To answer: - If the dialog is not intrusive/blocking/annoying, I would not waste the time/effort hiding it. - I would only interact with if it gives me something I want in either case. - I never want to "sign in with Goo
