I'm an instructor for a university course that is taught in a computer lab, so that every student has a computer in front of them. Each week, I setup two "community notes" pages using some etherpad clone and let them write their notes for

Interesting, because I have 5 tabs open (running the latest version of FF), and it's using over half a gig of RAM. It's been running since monday. Perhaps I need to take another look at my addons, but I only have four (firebug, web develop

Actually, it can just turn the backlight off. The B&W mode isn't e-ink at all, it's still basically an LCD screen that can be illuminated by external light. So the effect should be the same, but this is the reason I want to wait for r

I'll be getting the Pixel Qi version, if the reviews hold up. I'm slightly skeptical that the device will meet expectations, but I've already put money back to buy the device as soon as it's available. The Pixel Qi screen alone places it
