It's a lending library for businesses. I've sold it as in-house solution to two game companies (who apparently often manage a huge library of games/books for employees), but was planning on moving it to a SaaS model. Since it's not at all a

Ok. I wasn't sure if the original complaint was because they were random youtube videos or simply reviews. Several professionals have criticized Windows 8 harshly: http://www.nngroup.com/articles/windows-8-disappointing-usab...

Is there something really wrong with that? I won't spend $10 to go see a movie with bad reviews. Why would I want to spend $40 and quite a bit of time and effort on an OS that most people think is bad?

No offense. Just curious. I know someone who is so obsessed with Apple that he buys all their latest products, which can be a pretty expensive hobby.

Does anyone have details on how he was caught? Reading about it leads me to believe he acted covertly: >He released the worm from MIT to conceal the fact that it actually originated from Cornell.

I had a long, snarky comment about how no sane person would do X, Y, and Z on their public profile. But then I realized graph search shows you to friends of friends. This is a potential shitstorm and I'm not sure I value my facebook account

All I can think is that my dad is a carpenter, a damn good one and extremely hardworking, and I'm sure he'd put up with this injustice in order to make more than $20/hour. Moral of the story: we sure do complain a lot.

Dumb question, but assuming you are holding a (paper-like) tablet in one hand wouldn't a stylus be useless? It'd be like trying to write on a sheet of paper while holding it in one hand.

I agree. When I read this article I was shocked at the low compliance, but when I read the original offer... it didn't really seem like an "agreement" at all. >My only request is that, after you read the book, you post a review about it

Some men just want to watch the world scroll . No seriously, this is great. An unexpected advantage is that's it is actually harder to skim. You're encouraged instead to read things thoroughly. I, for one, skim articles way too much.
