Yes the repetition was noticeable, I would typically start reading a paragraph, realize that it was a point made previously and end up skipping a whole page.

Yeah, having said all this I do really like Miller columns for navigation.

Another benefit of the mapping is that the window's properties such as height, width, display style (list or grid) remained the same even after closing, they are properties of the directory, not of a specific file browser instance.

When you click the battery dropdown on the top right, Chrome is consistently listed as an "Apps Using Significant Energy". On previous releases of OS X I also noticed that by default it would use my dedicated GPU at all times, whe

I agree, but I think it's just a way for the producers to mask inflation. My gut feeling is that people are more likely to consciously notice a price increase of 20% than a 20% decrease in volume/weight.

Won't they be required to do this as a joint venture?

A fair size chunk of the pre roll ads I see also don't show anything interesting in the first five seconds. They have some sort of banner and just as the five seconds are up the ad content actually starts.

It's useful to note that Brazil is home to Bombardier's primary competitor, Embraer. The Canadian and Brazilian governments have both accused each other of subsidies in the aerospace market: http://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

Google has an interesting localization issue when it comes to Canada. If you ask it for someone's height, it gives it in metric, but everyone here uses imperial for body related measurements. The same goes for area, I hear acre a lot m

For me, last year was a one two punch. Two people I paid a lot of attention to both passed within the span of a few months. First Jack Layton and then Steve Jobs. Jobs' death I knew was coming, but still struck me. While Layton's death ruin

Which gave me the idea: what would the response be if facebook culled your friends if you haven't interacted with them (by commenting or liking their posts, or messaging them)? They wouldn't need to announce the change. You just wouldn't se
