I love the Dropbox service, but if Amazon will provide iOS and Mac clients that work well and the Mac client turns out to be less of a CPU hog than the awful Dropbox Mac client, I'll switch right away. Dropbox is constantly the second

I had bought an inexpensive FPGA board to play around with programmable logic and then later learned about CPLDs (from a bigmessowires project report at http://www.bigmessowires.com/68-katy/ ), which seemed a better, ch

Another vote for Fusion 360, especially on the Mac. I settled on that for 3D printing and hopefully soon desktop CNC modeling. It seems to be the only affordable yet not dumbed-down packages for OS X.

Very nice. I suggest adding a link back to the poll, perhaps make the title in the gray box clickable.

Yes I read one of your chapters as well, very well done and I'll be buying the book when it comes out.

That order is the part that confused me. I expected to read it right-to-left, instead it's left to right for the for statements, then the expression on the left at the end. I see now that the Python docs explain this very clearly...

I think this is great, I've been doing Python for a while and I knew many of the features but I also learned a few new ones. I don't understand how this one to flatten lists works: a = [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]] [x for l i

This is great, and I love how they got some UI things exactly right, such as zoom with the mouse wheel, and pan with the space bar held down, including visual feedback for the tool switch.

Same here, I would immediately buy this new version (I bought the first one) if it were available electronically. I stopped buying paper technical books, they are never around when I need them. I also like to read them on my iPad, phone and

Another vote for Glui, it is awesome and a great replacement for Skitch.

I backed this on Kickstarter and I'm very disappointed that it's now GPL and not BSD/MIT-licensed.

Given how easy the quick fix is to apply, basic Retina support should really have been in a free minor-version update to 9, not in a presumably paid upgrade to 10, after a long wait.

That said, it sounds like it might be a hassle to get that to work on a Mac. I got the personal license of Mathematica for Mac a while ago and thought the price was reasonable for such a powerful system. The only thing that was driving me n

I would imagine you'd need an ARM-based virtual machine. Perhaps QEMU could do it.

Same here, I don't understand why I'm forced to append junk, and I'm pretty sure my first/last name alone aren't taken. I canceled at that point.
