This is a difficult position to maintain when we promote many activities that kill many people every day (e.g., driving). Sometimes the profound benefits of certain activities are worth the the "tiny chance" of downside risk. Whet

As a family just inside that 5% mark, my first reaction is to object to the idea that I'm somehow part of a wealthy elite. However, my second reaction is shock that the median household income is $53,000. If you've got a couple

I don't know much about Mailbox, but I was an enthusiastic Carousel user . . . until Google released Photos. With Google Drive integration (both up and down), way better search, easy sharing (without requiring a recipient Google accou

I'd rather avoid the tar baby that is the GMO debate, but please take their propaganda with a grain of salt (as you would AquaBounty's). FWW is not at all a neutral party in this conversation.

Totally agreed (we also have a family O365 plan). I'm willing to pay for quality services without all the BS inevitably attached to free models. Because I want the model to succeed, I hate seeing Microsoft take this kind of heat. It

To each his own. I've used an SP3 hard for a year now, and came from a 2012 MacBook Air. While the keyboard is inferior, I value the functionality, and honestly, it works fine. The trackpad is among the best I've used with Wind

Wow. I've used a SP3 hard for about a year now. I charge nightly, throw it in my bag daily, and cart it from meeting to meeting all day long. It's been great. I find the touchpad is excellent, I've not had problems with o

Totally agreed. I wish camera reviews would compare average exposure times between phones for the same shots. I'm a guy who would prefer my phone get me the best shot it can at 1/60th, rather than a low ISO shot that's blur

SP3 stylus uses batteries. Two of them. Not an issue, and I find the technology far more accurate than the Wacoms, especially around the edges.

As a guy with little kids, I genuinely enjoy going back through old photos. We have about 60gb of photos and videos over the last ten years. I don't spend my time viewing life through a viewfinder. With modern technology, snapping a

I admit Apple Photos and family sharing looks pretty slick. Unfortunately, while we use iPhones, iPads, an Apple TV, and several Airport Expresses (home audio), the home computer is still a Windows machine, and I use a Surface Pro 3 daily

Crazy that they don't mention Carousel. I've been really happy with it. Easy to send family links. Not tied to a social platform -- my wife and I share the same account with all iPhone photos uploaded/downloaded to family

Agreed, I owned the Asus VivoTab TF810c for about a year. It was close, but it was asked to do too much with too little. The processor power was pathetic, the emmc drive was too slow, and it frequently froze. These issues made it too unr

Boy, that may work for you, but I find the Upad interface to be vastly inferior to writing directly on an active digitizer with background transcription (e.g., Onenote on a TabletPC). An iPad Mini (with equivalent battery life) that works

I've used a tablet PC for years. OneNote is truly powerful software. I pray for a convertible ultrabook. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one. So much hate for the lowly tablet PC.

Not to be flip, and I'm a huge privacy guy, but all of that does matter less if you're not being mean to cats or throwing puppies off bridges. I imagine Google is cool with that. It's not like this is a free speech issue.

Exactly. You beat me to it. See source here, namely Tables 2 and 6: http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R42364.pdf Also here: http://ycharts.com/companies/XOM/profit_margin Note that it was closer to 5% in Q2 2009.
