>If nonsense like "Electric cars don't work in the cold" gains traction Well, isn't that kind of true? Obviously, EVs work, but the cold weather has a large impact on batteries.

That's not necessarily true. I think you'll find a lot of $1300 laptops from Dell, HP, etc that are all of questionable quality.

The page is dynamic and fresh = the content is changing and up-to-date. Intuitive = easy to use, especially important for Yahoo's demographic Beautiful design = nice to look at. I think that sentence covers the redesign pretty well and isn'

Being able to read books, meet new people, and reflect all day, every day seems more mentally stimulating in certain ways than working in the same field for 5, 10, 20, 30 years.

Luckily I haven't been groped by any TSA agents, but I did have one experience that was very annoying. I went through the scanner and my bags did as well, but I forgot to empty my water bottle. In the past, TSA agents have asked if they cou

You are allowed to take lighters on the plane. Not sure why you saw a bunch of confiscated lighters.

Sure, but my gas powered car doesn't take hours to charge and the mileage does not fluctuate as much as an electronic car does due to weather.

Even if the reporter fabricated parts of the story, aren't the concerns about driving in cold weather still relevant? Any Tesla owners want to weigh in?

Think of it as having a picture or video conversation in <10 second clips. I don't think that is a fad. That is just a slick form of communication for something that was slightly annoying to do. This is where Snapchat does extremely wel

If by better touchpad, you mean better placement for the touchpad, then yes I agree. And in this scenario, the best placement is on the screen.

The weight of the Surface RT and Surface are lighter than the Macbook Air 11 inch by .88 pounds and .38 pounds respectively. The Surface was engineered to equally distribute the weight so that it even feels lighter than it actually is.

Quora is great, but in my mind, it was the next Wikipedia-like site that is focused on Q&A, rather than a Facebook-like site that is focused on Q&A. The fact that they have to monetize hurts their user experience because they push f

From his Google+ post "Yesterday (as reported by the Wall Street Journal and elsewhere): "At no time did this office ever seek – or ever tell Mr. Swartz’s attorneys that it intended to seek – maximum penalties under the law." And July 2011

Sure, but I think the results of the modern incarnation are much worse and perhaps, longer lasting.

Here's an example of a company building a business model off of people sharing photos on Instagram and Twitter. http://www.pixlee.com/warriors/albums/527?embed=true I probably wouldn't care if my photos showed up in a public manner, but I

They are different. https://www.uber.com/cities/san-francisco#cities In San Francisco (I assume it will be the same in NYC), Uber charges the regular taxi rates + $1 booking fee + 20% gratuity fee.

Let's try this one for size: how about we look at the merit of what Microsoft is discussing here, instead of making what is essentially an ad hominem attack. I had no idea that Google shopping results were more or less ads. I thought it was

106a is meant to make programming accessible to people who aren't or weren't considering being a CS major. I would say it is one of the most well thought and enjoyable classes at Stanford.

Read what s/he said. There is lost ad revenue on a desktop mail client, so the parent is saying that it makes sense for Google to push the user to the web client. This doesn't work on mobile because the user has certain expectations of how

Couldn't you say the same thing about Apple? Almost every one of their apps is bested by some third party app.

I like the idea of gestures driving the UI, but the demo video seemed a little unintuitive.

After reading the story behind MeeGo ( http://taskumuro.com/artikkelit/the-story-of-nokia-meego ), I'm not sure you could really blame Elop for the steps he took. Nokia sounded like a disaster even before he came.
