    I think that some people don't get eyestrain using a monitor because their eyes jump around and off of it continually throughout the day. The eye motions and strain of reading is fairly different when you read word after word, line after li

    Nice site. What's your goal for users visiting? I see a signup link at the top right, which will be missed. If you want to get users to signup there should be a big signup button somewhere in the middle of the page. An API?! Awesome! Seriou

    Great question! I think the primary reason is the originals (4-6) were written/edited/produced by other people, while 1-3 were solely managed by Lucas. No one stands up to him now that he's established and revered. There's a great review of

    I'd even argue the Computer History Museum is more interesting than Google. Over 100 years of computing machines, free tours, interactive exhibits and a lot more. I've interviewed at Google a few times and eat lunch there every week or two.

    That's usually because exposures took many minutes in early photography. Smiling for 5-10 minutes wasn't really possible :) Some photographers even used metal rods to hold people's heads in place.
