I think the part about perfecting your skill, instead of relying solely on talent, is probably where most people will find success in their lives.

My guess? We'll gradually shift back into larger households, with several generations living under one roof. Not that bad, when you come to think of it.

"Oh noes, somebody hacked our water pump!". A bunch of fear mongering drivel. It doesn't feel like cyber terrorism was ever ignored or neglected.

Those are all good ideas, as long as the state works as originally intended. I think you're putting too much faith in the system.

Exactly. What people wouldn't do in the name of bureaucracy.

There's so many things that can go wrong, during the period needed for advanced intelligent life to evolve. Add to that the inherent difficulty of moving between solar systems. Space is vast, and we're not really making that much noise. I d

Which in itself is a bit weird. Mars and Earth formed in the same solar system, from an orbital disk around the same sun. Similar conditions and building blocks. Surely whatever improbability would be diminished because of this?

It's specific to the iPad. The marker indicating a tap, will show on specific UI elements, since everything is shifting due to the animation. The case is from Google's implementation, not this one. Not really something we can do anything ab

Come on. We're fighting proxy wars, losing friends, and recession is biting us in the ass. Please don't try and lecture us on what a real crisis is. We might not be in a world war right now, but war is war.

It also conflicts with tap/click markers, when initiating animations on click event.

I guess that depends on how you use it. Probably unwise to use it on every link, but certain UI elements could benefit from it.

A built in delay is making sure that you actually want to tap, and not swipe or double tap.

There's no room for learning, if we don't go about it this way. But hey, please carry on.

That was amazing.

Isn't it more likely because they want to lock the functionality to Win8?

A few years back, when the credit crisis happened, several investment companies bought up debt, and then offered people to pay it off, with half or less, compared to what they owed before that. I don't know if they actually earned anything

I'm one of them.

Good point. One of the reasons for the Mac's success, during the last 7 years, has been the x86 architecture. They better know what they're doing - I would hate for history to repeat itself.

Not a bad solution, but I'd still prefer a red or green state (In my experience, color trumps shape). Of course that doesn't work for more than two options, but I have a hard time finding a decent use case for that anyway.

Okay, thank you for that information. I'll be buying one anyway - Insanely curious about the overall user experience. Edit: Come to think about it - I hope that update was explicitly stated. Wouldn't want my hardware to perform system criti

Knowing Microsoft I'd say the odds of a reboot is probably larger on the Surface. Apparently even a small app update (office) requires a reboot.

I thought he was very polite. He made sure everyone was on the same page, thus avoiding a lot of unneeded commentary.

The term was coined by former danish prime minister Poul Nyrup Rasmussen. Hardly a libertarian.

Denmark is known for its flexicurity model. We're not hard to ditch, and we're even easier to employ. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexicurity

But he is making a good point. You're buying something that the seller essentially have no control over. You better be ready to lose that $20. That said, I still think the app is worth it.

I wasn't trying to generalize, and I hope I didn't come off like that. For the record: I don't care if I suffer from it, but I have symptoms that makes it likely (words of a doctor, not mine), and I thought it appropriate to share my experi

You don't have to be hyperactive, even though your mind might be - in that case I suppose it's just ADD, right? I got the same feeling as you from reading the article, but as someone who has extreme trouble concentrating, I can definitely r
