IMHO I don't think we lack knowledge capture and retrieval tools as much as we lack integration between those tools. I use Zim as a desktop wiki and todo list tool, Freemind as a mind mapper, TaskJuggler 3 as a project planning tool a

I wonder if it's really about penetration into music videos. I remember iPods being all over music videos for a few years back in the day (made my recently purchased iPod go from geeky to cool overnight!) - but then they disappeared -

great work so far in an area I'm really interested. I'm especially interested in the synchronisation and transformation modules, how are they coming along? sync is an issue that distinguishes you from the work of the libre api pro

I think cookery programmes feed the voyeur in their viewers and nobody really tries to make their own cooking 'perfect'. Maybe this is just a UK thing - where perfection is appreciated for a nanosecond and then everyone's bac

I agree - I've spent a lifetime trying to find the best to do solution (Microwriter Agenda, Psion 3, Palm, GTD, One Big Text File, David Seah's productivity tools, Superfocus, etc. etc.). Paper in the form of a hardbacked A4 notep

If my memories of Nokia's range of wonderfully resilient, well packaged, highly functional feature and Symbian phones are anything to go by - Nokia would have had a significant slice of the Samsung's Android market. Remember - No

This. Even if this was not really true, his past associations and the changes to Nokia that he implemented pushed Nokia's reputation to the place it is now.

Rick, one of the biggest costs I hear about in the field is the cost of pre-allocating funds to upcoming trials without knowing how much to pre-allocate. The other is knowing how to profile clinicians and help them to raise their ability t
