This "design trend" is basically touch-based navigation, which calls for large link boxes instead of the text-only navigation for mice.

It's really quite incredible. I also just got a new - plain, boring - Dell monitor, and the background lighting (or whatever it is) really makes the difference between that and older, dimmer screens.

How much of a problem is using Tesla vehicles in cold climates these days? I recall adverse battery performance as a result being up for discussion a while ago.

I see a lot of stories about people in retirement homes running away without anyone being able to find them. This looks like a decent tool for the job. Decent GPS trackers are hard to find and recommend.

People are told to "hustle", "be naughty", and "break things" - and are applauded for it in founder stories. Small wonder something like this happens.

Security Key does not work on browsers other than Chrome. Well that's a bummer. Doesn't mean it can't be useful in some settings, though.

Apple TV, wonder whether there's a dedicated app that can be used for iOS like with WWDC. I think TWiT do live commentary or something.

It's been a long time coming. I mean, do we even know whether 5S or 5C refer to anything in particular? What's really weird that they don't have an iPad Pro in that lineup, because that was what we assumed to be the reason th

Yep; it was not the massacre threat but the refusal to deny concealed carry that prompted Anita to cancel her event. The title implies a wrong causality like that. I can't imagine attending an event where people could carry concealed w

What's also really sad is that the FTC is actually on their case, but they're evidently in no capacity to throw their weight around enough to put a stop to this.

If we're lucky, this also means people like Apple won't autoplay the stuff, so we actually download less data on page load.

The performance on my iPad 3 also deteriorated, after I updated. I don't seem to experience it anymore, so I may support the theory that it's Spotlight re-indexing my device after updating. Tweetbot crashes like mad, though, but i

PSA: If you have any important information to add, enter it in the app, and first responders will be able to see it by going from the "Emergency" screen. Neat if you're allergic to anesthetics.

I'd say it's more that they aim to be more full-stack than just the upper sysadmin layer.

I think there's something to be said for picking up on something popular and doing it well; you don't necessarily have to reinvent the wheel. I recall Pogue's article on walkie-talkie apps ( http://www.nytimes.com&#
