Even the new red is painful on my eyes. I navigated away before I finished reading, and when coming back here, it still created an afterimage on my retina. I recommend a much more muted background, especially for the textual portion of the

More likely, you'll buy a SteamController as the preferred input on your SteamBox. In fact, they are basically teasing as much at the bottom of the page. Friday's announcement looks to be controller related.

Great idea. I often like to find something "along the way", especially for long road trips. Just a datapoint, trying to find a Boston Market along my route gave me lots of results that weren't a Boston Market. You might n

Custom miniatures for D&D night! I could even see custom modeling my own miniatures for other games, either tabletop RPGs like D&D or wargames like Warhammer or any of the others.

This seems to be a simple case of poor calibration. These machines tend to sit in warehouses, only getting turned on a few times a year. This can lead to drift in the touchscreens that needs to be recalibrated. Poll workers aren't always

I've done for my masters program. I generally leave the repo private during the course of the semester when I work on projects, then I make it public afterwards. I figure it could be good showcase of work I've done for future employers, e

I could see Parental controls as well, but you can pretty much do this already, on a per-device level. I think Apple's goal is to get you to buy your kid and iPad and lock it down, not let them borrow yours. I don't see iPads every having

I'll make a prediction that Fax Mode is something that will never happen. Faxes are an outdated technology, and Apple has shown in the past that they are more than willing to drop support for legacy technologies to push their products forw

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this Sprint's major competitive advantage from a marketing standpoint? This specifically focuses on mobile devices besides phones (tablets, netbooks, mobile hotspots, etc) but it does appear to have a cla

If HP was releasing a TouchPad 2 at that price point, it could potentially be a game changer, but they aren't. It's a fire sale on soon-to-be unsupported technology.

I'm glad to see it's finally available. I'm especially happy to see some of the language syntax that makes your standard try/catch/finally blocks a little cleaner and less error prone.
