The reason the conversions are so low is covered in the story. The game doesn't make the fact that there's a full version very discoverable and provides enough content that many people probably didn't think there was any more to it.

I filled out the mortgage estimation tool and in three separate cases it suggested trying to find a house with a negative value.

> Real progress would mean people living in compact communities where most trips are undertaken on foot or by bicycle. That sounds like an unbearably miserable existence. I don't live in a compact community will millions of other people

I initially thought this was just shilling for the Romney campaign until I saw the action button at the bottom.

Unfortunately the $2.85 trillion shortfall is mentioned near the very end of the infographic and so a significant number of people are never going to see it and will just go "oh, the Romney plan would save me $X" without ever understanding

I think that's pretty much impossible the news and Congress haven't been able to shut up about "The Ryan Plan"

I was wondering how these numbers were possibly calculated given how little the Romney campaign has actually detailed about any of his "plans" including those for taxes. Everything his campaign has talked about seems very ambiguous.

Income taxes can be relevant, Microsoft licensing isn't in Reno for nothing, Apple and every other large company tends to pass billions of dollars of revenue through Nevada due to the lack of corporate income tax. Nevada also still has no p

The money should go farther in Nevada but probably not 3x.

Actually that wouldn't make sense. The reason being is the tax is only valid in a specific geographic location. Employing GPS based tracking allows the city/county to tax only for the miles driven within its boundaries, which is going to be

The Samsung Series 9 is a good example of bad design not just for the AC port but for many of the ports. We have a couple of the 15" models in the office and the ethernet adapter and mini-hdmi adapter are too big to effectively use at the s

Samsung is trotting out it's 2006 work to show they didn't willfully infringe if Apples patents are valid. I bring up the Prada but because it shows that Apples design patent is of questionable validity to begin with.

Without some numbers behind those statements they are pretty meaningless. People buy the wrong product all the time and take it back. This is especially true of those people that don't understand what it is they are buying in the first plac

Samsung can also point to the LG Prada which was publicly announced three weeks before the iPhone and on sale months before the iPhone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_Prada

Depending on where the recommendation is being displayed it will typically a have a "fix this recommendation" button right under the item. Then you can select that you are't interested, already own it, bought it as a gift, or simply mark it

Looks like he grabbed another unit. Not a big deal given that it was a presentation of an as of yet unreleased product with beta software.

I own a couple of Samsung products and a couple of Vizio products. Vizio isn't in the same league as Samsung. They are typically bringing year old tech to consumers that are more budget constrained. If you know what you are getting they are

Several of these well known content producers have been caught spamming and otherwise cheating their way onto the front page. They've been banned for that and not their content.

TN-1 for Canadians would be much more comparable to the E-3 for Australians than the H1-B1 for Chile and Singapore as the H1-B1 doesn't allow dual intent and is only valid for one year.

Individuals with an H-1B can transfer employers under the AC21 rules. Many people with an H-1B simply don't know it. There's a lot of information from AILA here: http://www.aila.org/Issues/Issue.aspx?docid=12647

It looks like the 17" model has been discontinued however. This makes me feel better about replacing my 2007 17" model in April with the late 2011 variant.

Other than companies like Google most marketing companies couldn't give a shit about what you think of them as you aren't their customer. Additionally a lot of marketing companies would likely publicly get behind a DNT header when the recom

I spent several years working for a marketing firm and based on my experience with the industry I would guess that there will be no adoption of honoring these tags if they are sent by default unless it becomes legally mandated.

I've got a handful of Samsung devices and I'm sick and tired of touchwiz on all of them. It's not consistent between devices and versions, it duplicates features and software that's already built in, and it's bloated/slow.
