I have the 2011 11" MBA (i5, 4GB, 128GB) and also the base 2011 15" MBP (i7, 4GB, 500GB). I can't justify keeping both, but I am really torn on which one I want to keep. On the one hand, I love the portability and speed (due to the SSD) o

I have a pair of Streetcars Milan ( http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/mens_shoes/casual/laceup/PRD... ) that I quite like -- they're comfortable, they look good, and just roomy enough that I can put my Superfeet insoles in them without cuttin

Felt it from my 5th floor apartment in Cleveland. My coworkers in Akron also felt it from our 6th and 7th floor offices there. Not particularly strong here, just had me wondering "why is my desk wobbling?"

I was a Mac user in the late 90s, been a Mac user again since 2007 or so, although as an "adder," not a straight up switcher. Speaking for myself, I have had misgivings off and on but ignored/glossed over them earlier this year to buy a new

I've actually discovered that only prompting for zip code and not city/state can be somewhat confusing for users. We have a system that only requires 3 pieces of info to normalize your address, including city/state: Your street address, you

You know, my dad was a very skilled woodworker and home handyman, but he passed away before he had a chance to really start teaching me very much of it. I've always kind of wanted to get into woodworking (although it's hard right now since

Just wanted to take a minute to thank you for that app. It's been tremendously useful for me for a year or so now.

Currently I have a 14" Sony and a 13" unibody MacBook. Both are approaching 3 years old, so I've been trying to decide what to do about replacing them. At this point, it's looking like the answer is going to be selling off the MacBook and (

Sounds like my last job. They had gotten burned a few times by waterfall projects failing, so their reaction was to try to implement waterfall even more rigorously. You had to design and document the entire project up front and then break

The problem I have with that argument, though, is that I already gave Apple $630 for my iPad, specifically because I can read Kindle books on it. I'd really like to be able to continue reading my Kindle books on it, and I really don't g

It seems to me that the simple way is pretty much what the grandparent described. Classify API/mobile access as a value-add and charge extra for it. For a web-based SaaS, I could see them doing something like "Web-only access including mobi

Wow, I'm glad you posted this question -- there's more of us deaf guys here than I'd realized. I am also profoundly deaf, as a result of bacterial meningitis shortly before my fifth birthday. That said, I have less of an entrepreneurial ben

Man, I was at CodeMash, but missed that keynote since I had to run an errand over lunch (kinda needed new hearing aid batteries). I'm kinda bummed that I missed it given the volume of discussion that it generated. Did you happen to hit Joe

I've been thinking of dropping my AT&T iPhone 4 for a Droid Bionic on Verizon later this year. Given that, I'm really hoping they'll be charging extra for the wifi hotspot feature like they do with Android, or if they're not, making it

This is exactly what I'm dealing with, too. I keep wanting to learn Ruby/Rails (and I have been working my way through the Rails Tutorial book online, albeit with a break the last week or so for travel and stuff). At the same time, I keep t

In the screenshot, the checkbox is actually checked off. Was that the default setting? If so, I could see that being off-putting to users -- whenever I see that, I assume they're trying to trick me into opting in for something.

I use this on all of my machines (Win/Mac) and it's fantastic. Great little app. I wish the iPad supported something similar.

As long as it's not the only way to get software on your Mac -- and I don't really see Apple doing that with their "truck" line of devices since there's probably always going to be obscure stuff that the publishers aren't going to want in t

Agreed -- I'm the same way. I can't speak for all the deaf people out there, but personally, I find it uncomfortable to leave my hearing aid in all day, which means I'll often remove it if I'm just working at my desk, and won't hear someone

Yes. I'd also add that in many cases, riding on the sidewalk is illegal. It doesn't bother me when I see little kids doing it, but if you're a grownup you should be riding on the street, with traffic, in accordance with traffic law. When I

At home, I have a Core i5 desktop with 4GB of RAM and dual 22" monitors running Windows 7, and also a 13" unibody MacBook which I bought back in October 2008 -- on the day they were released, actually. In the past I used the desktop for qui

My most interesting goal right now is to try to make the time to start moving off of Microsoft development technology. I like C#, but ASP.NET annoys me and the whole platform feels like a massive dead end unless I want to work on boring cor

There shouldn't be. I believe most cell companies give you a 30 day window to change your mind and cancel service. Verizon does, and I ended up taking advantage of that when I returned the Droid and switched back to the iPhone after 2 weeks

Interestingly enough, I tried melatonin a few months ago when I was having problems with insomnia. After 2 or 3 nights with it, my sleep cycle corrected itself and I haven't taken it since. I don't know that I'd want to keep taking it every

I'm concerned about that as well. On the one hand, I can understand that you don't want to grind kids down and completely humiliate them. On the other hand, I don't see how they can learn to handle adversity if we constantly shelter them fr

I had my iPad on the coffee table in front of my favorite couch, and still found that I pulled out my laptop most of the time. I ended up taking it back tonight after having it for less than a week -- it's a nice device, but it's just not f
