I like it. I saw many blog posts and rants either way, but never concrete usability data saying it's bad. The Calendar and Reminders apps don't work a whole lot different than their non-virtual counterparts, minus the automatic notification

A very nice video and story, but I would just like to highlight something. He says that he realized "there's no real know-how about how to work with cardboard beside making packages out of it". I don't know if to say it's standard, but in i

I think this is really dependent on the author's skill and how gracefully he stretches our suspension of disbelief. Swombat has this skill, so I would implore him to try it.

Sounds to me like the most plausible explanation so far. Some connected employee/s breached internal IT security protocol by transferring music to their workstations, maybe even being caught at a night shift blasting music. They tried to co

Proper civics and all-rounded technical and humanities education, preferably life long[1]. Without the humanities you will be left without an understanding of social repercussions, technical education helps you (in my experience) stay logic

"The ideal applicants must have technical talent, but not be total programming geeks — APMs had to have social finesse and business sense." I would just like to note I met some of said APMs in a gathering in Tel Aviv and they were all cordi

Good call. I would say that in public perception, since there is an international jihad underway (again, narratively speaking) it is easy to label the tubes bombings as non-domestic. If there was the perception of a global right-wing/fascis

a. It was domestic terrorism. Compare it to American reaction to domestic terrorism before 9/11 and we may start to have some actual merit in the comparison. There was no "War on terror" on the same scale after the Oklahoma City bombing (19

I'd just like to add my experiences in Germany[1] as a techie: - Almost no wifi. Coming from an area (outside of Germany) with abundant wifi at Cafes that came as a real shock to me. - As the parent said, you can't rely on just English for

It's true that there are people not being aware of the information now and they'll be people not aware of it in the future. But I think[1] there's a large group of people who are aware that the information exists, but are just ignoring it a

What's easier and more plausible to happen - Random J. reading a long processing-cycles-demanding guide or just following a checklist? Random J. seeing a link to/start of a guide: "that seems long and intricate... I don't have time to grok

"Dropbox with TrueCrypt (be careful that you don't mount simultaneously)" What scenario do you refer to? Why would it be bad to run a non-paused Dropbox client and mount a TrueCrypt volume inside it at the same time?
