Like the idea. One thing to consider: it's a little hard to discern the product/service. Take, for example, this one: http://cl.ly/image/0P0Y1q1r3p0N . Without mousing over the element, it's impossible to tell what the product/company/serv

While I have enormous respect for Elon Musk, I would hope that Boeing engineers have just as thorough an understanding of the workings and safety implications of Lithium-ion batteries. Though Tesla's engineering is admittedly much more focu

I think the point he/she is trying to make is that it only became as "real" as it is now after the coverage on news sites yesterday. Then everybody decided to jump on the anti-Microsoft sentiment and share their own supposedly funny #DroidR

At least one (and almost certainly more) company pursuing this. The service WebAssign is used in almost every science class at my high school. 90% of homework is done (and graded) via the site. However, the lack of any "show-your-work" func

I think the whole reasoning behind exposing his children to the command line first and working from there is to give them a better understanding of the fundamentals before moving on to higher level UI. A window manager is the next logical s
