   I'm fairly sure this refers to the use of 3D printing to refine the design, and even prototypes to temporarily give to people who donated $50 before the final production has run. It's not so clearly defined in the article, but I believe tha

   Re: HobsonFiles.com Isn't that a bit wide of a design? I would think that the average person would have to scroll left and right to see it all. I did, at least, and it took me by surprise. Edit: In reference to the landing page.

   I think you're referring to the dynamic range of the screen, which might have been the original interpretation, but most people these days think of the range of exposure that the sensor can handle. I first heard it in reference to Half Life

   It really depends on the business. There are a couple of local businesses here that I follow: a liquor store, a crepe cart, a coffee shop, etc. They all regularly post with specials, events, new dishes/type of coffee/beer, etc. YMMV, but kn

   This is where she addresses the change in housing. She doesn't discuss square footage, rather number of rooms. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akVL7QY0S8A#t=20m30s This is where she addresses health insurance: http://www.youtube.com/watch

    I'm guessing that there were few people living there? The idea is people walk out their door and find amenities like cafes and grocers within a few blocks. If people have to drive, park, then walk into a pedestrian zone, then many will choo

    I came in here to mention this, but it is invite-only to keep the quality high, so it might not work for the OP. It's great for inspiration though.

    This is true, but there are quite a few high quality applications that that kind of culture enables as well. I would gladly pay for an ftp app as nice and polished as Transmit 4 on Linux, but as far as I know one doesn't exist. Not that the

    My impression is that mac users tend to buy software more often than windows users as a percentage of the whole, at least for small to medium applications. Examples: Textmate, Transmit, Sizeup, Divvy, etc. I highly doubt that would apply to

    Since both (I assume) are calling the same BLAS and LAPACK libraries underneath the scripting niceness, it's likely they're very similar in speed.
