Grantland does a really great job.[1] It's probably because Bill Simmons, the founder of Grantland, uses footnotes extensively in his writing. [1] Example here: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/8486795/the-harden-dilem...

What would constitute a "step forward for mobile computing"? For me, it'd be having the computing power of MacBook Pro on an iPhone. For example, I would hook up—or more likely, wirelessly connect—this hypothetical iPhone to a desktop monit

Is there anything left to be done by NASA HQ? For example, are they still controlling the trajectory of the probe to Mars or is that mostly done by probe's onboard computers? I'm genuinely curious about what kind of things the HQ is doing r

Dashboard is actually one of my favorite features; I can't live without it. I use the dictionary/thesaurus widget every time I write (or read) and I take down short, temporary notes on the sticky notes. Besides that, I use the clock (to kee

This is slightly off-topic but does anyone know how pages on this site load so quickly? It's almost instantaneous on my computer. Does it use something like this? http://alexmaccaw.co.uk/posts/async_ui

An email client that lets me edit the title and body of the mails in my inbox would be a good start. I use email as a to-do list and oftentimes, 90% of the text in the email is not pertinent to that purpose (greetings, signatures, "polite"

Thanks! It was partly inspired by Watchmen but I guess print design rarely translates well into web design. I'll work on it.

Then is it okay to pirate software too? For instance, is it okay for me to pirate all the apps from Mac App Store since I didn't steal any physical copies?

I highly doubt Valve's database is more complex than Apple's or Amazon's database. You never hear about theirs being compromised to the same extent as Valve's.

Valve handled it well but something like this shouldn't even happen in the first place. Valve saw what happened to PSN so Valve should have improved its security after such an incident. Since Valve holds people's CC numbers and passwords, t

I think it comes down to the fact that most of the Android users don't care about the responsiveness. Maybe there exists this mentality at Google that since Android is expanding pretty well, why bother spend extra resources into GUI acceler

I agree. To extend the metaphor of the article a little more, we stop worrying about our moms cleaning our rooms when we move out, buy our own furnitures and pay our own rent. The web equivalent would be setting up/coding your own cloud ser

I really hope Google goes beyond just advertising. It's great that their services are free but I would still pay a premium for a polished, distraction-free environment. I'd rather pay a fee than to be surrounded by advertisement everywhere
