They aren't taking the type of product that has existed with Wacom type tablets and bringing it to the portable capacitive world. This is going to be terrible in comparison. Its impossible to make a capacitive stylus that isn't li

I don't think anything can put the smile back on their faces due to the fact that they still feel as if someone stole their $100 billion idea.

I had a Clamcase Pro for about a year. Its the only keyboard case that isn't terrible. When mine broke it was because of my own negligence, but if anyone buys one of these, keep in mind that the company only offers a 90 day warranty, w

How would it be less fair to permanently imprison a repeat DUI offender than it would be to wait until he's actually killed someone before locking him up for good. Perhaps I'm misguided, but it seems to me that its more fair to im

Well if we're talking about what journalism's job is, there is a near-infinite number of things that they could be covering that are way more important than anyone's IPO.

The phenomenon where people like you act as if anyone with something critical to say about the United States lacks patriotism is the very thing that is destroying our nation. I'm a moderate conservative and a Soldier, but your "lo

I disagree. I spent almost a year at Fort Gordon in Augusta, GA for military training. That was 2003, I still remember what it smells like.

If you are even minimally concerned about privacy, all free VPNs are terrible. Find yourself a good, reputable paid VPN. Lots of folks whose lives depend on keeping their real identities hidden say this list is a good starting point, but ul

I like how their workaround is to have two versions of iWork installed. That's the same kind of shit they are always making fun of everyone else for. Personally, I find OS fragmentation more excusable than Office Suite fragmentation.

Are you self-employed, or do you work for someone else? If you work for someone else, as almost all people do, you have made the decision that the time you spend at work is less valuable than your paycheck.

His point was that Gates already has all the money a person could ever want, so he no longer values it enough to waste any time trying to make more. For a normal person, money is often valued more than time, which is why the majority of us

I actually don't find it hard at all to understand the situation they are in, and I suspect not many people do. That being said, I agree with Gates. There are far more important things than 100% global connectivity.

He's more of an average Joe than a power-user. Maybe my definition is wrong, but I think one of the qualifiers for being a power user is knowing how computers work. He admits in the review that he doesn't really know anything abou

That's much better, but still terrible. Its a perfectly forgettable commercial, although I appreciate that they made an attempt to relate to scarf-wearing male fashion designers, an oft neglected demographic.
