This is going to sound strange, but when I think of garments, I naturally think this extends to mean anything that you wear. So when I read the description on the patent, if it wasn't for the last bit about shoes, I would have sworn they we

I started reading the article and got to Dear chronically procrastinating young person, I clicked my read it later button and closed the window - "I'll read it later" I said to myself, before I realised the irony.

Word is a current standard. If other products want to win me over, they can't cite lack of time and expect a good response I agree, Word is (arguably) Microsoft's premier product that they put out. Many people will say that Windows is, bu

I think what Michael & Jason are doing is great for the startups launching at TC50. They're taking all the heat for their PR ways, while the startups will reap the benefits of increased visibility.

I guess that's what happens when you have 25 years of development time in a product (Word was originally released in 1983 called Multi-Tool Word ) vs what... 2 for the rest?

But the difference is that these sites are more or less niche sites. People will use them regardless of design, as that's what tech people are like. However, Some of the sites linked are poor - it would be prudent to look at the sites linke

You know, there's probably an idea in there. The stormpulse guys could perhaps build a widget that news & nedia sites could embed into their stories so there is instant tracking for each storm right there on the page.
