A few weeks later she signed up for Amazon.com's free shipping service, Amazon Prime, which guarantees delivery of products within two days for an annual fee of $79. A free service that costs $79?

What does it mean that the book is not scientific? There's no scientific justification to its methodology. So we don't know that repeating particular phrases over and over can change one's mind or behavior in a meaningful way.

It might be true that Windows will block the 300dpi screen era for another ten years or so, but so will Linux and OS X. FreeType on Linux handles scaling fine. And considering that the iPhone 4 has a high DPI display I think Apple has it

This seems odd. Didn't Google ban the use of Windows by their employees awhile back?

This is a great question. I actually spent a bunch of time searching since there was no citation but all I could find were references to the wikipedia page. So this is possibly made up. I went back and found the original diff[1] where it wa

Netflix is available on Roku, GoogleTV, and the Boxee Box which all run Linux kernels. Lack of DRM is the problem. I believe the interface is authored on top of Qt and DRM is handled by special hardware in these devices.

Contrast that "knowledge" with facebook email addresses. How many people are really aware of whether or not their email on facebook is public, friend of friend, friend, etc? This doesn't mean that your gmail contacts are non-private. I co

'Be Passionate' is great advice. Like 'Be Confident', it is not really advice at all. I'm also tired of passion being thrown all over the place as if that actually helps anyone.

A person has no more right to mass export all of her friends’ private email addresses than she does to mass export all of her friends’ private photo albums. Email is different from social networking because in an email application, each pe

It tries to use Flash for fonts and falls back to standard html if you are missing the Flash plugin. If you use something that blocks Flash then you just see boxes everywhere there is supposed to be a text heading.

It will be several years before we need to worry about that. Nvidia's drivers actually replace a huge chunk of the Xorg graphics stack because it has sucked so terribly[1] for many years. 1: http://linuxhaters.blogspot.com/2008/06/nitty-gr

I don't mean to be cynical but honestly to me this space is an analog to self-help books. Todo/notes/productivity apps probably can hook people for a few weeks but beyond that I imagine most people won't put forth the effort to keep up with

This article is overblown at best. Microsoft's core operating system and office suites remain absolutely dominant even if competitors are rising. Yes but are these business licenses or consumer sales? Go to any college campus and see how

I was going to say the same thing. I tried org-mode (I'm a heavy Emacs user) and it didn't stick, I think the simplicity is what makes this doable. Also I have a nice history of tasks and it isn't tied to my computer or mobile device. I don
