I have an 8" Dell Venue Pro, and it's pretty nice. It was cheap as hell, and the only issue I have with it is that the screen is too small for the resolution. Anyway, it's great for consuming media but not so great for creati

I'm hoping that there will be some kind of common standard that car manufacturers can adopt (wrt interacting with mobile devices). That way, users of both platforms can fully enjoy their vehicles.

You're right, it is kind of dickish and it is inconsiderate on the user's part. I think we can agree on that. But I don't think it's fair to have such high expectations of your users. This is the internet, where everyone

Your web server is simply providing data (a bunch of HTML) to anyone who sends an HTTP request for your web page. That's all your server is doing. It's not telling the client (the browser) "here's a bunch of HTML, but yo

Blocking ads is not stealing. It's not even in the same boat. You don't get to dictate to your users how they should be consuming content on the web. All you can do is present the ad and hope that it shows up.

Don't you ever just want to take an entire day to relax? Just sit around drinking beer, eating pizza, and watching TV (or some variation of that)? I think I am the exact opposite, since I can barely work 35 hours a week without mentall

If you have 120k with an interest rate of 1.0%, you are basically losing out on about $3.33 a day. In one year, you end up losing out on the amount of money you would need to buy a nice UHD monitor. It's simply not worth it, IMO.

I live near DC... shit! I wanted Google Fiber just for the awesome TV. DirecTV is incredibly awful. Hopefully they can expand to even more cities in the future.

You can actually use bottles of Tide to purchase drugs, if you ever get sick of washing clothes. So in a way, Tide might be the best laundry detergent.

I agree, not all Windows laptops are bad. My sister bought a cheap $700 Dell Inspiron and it's pretty nice. I actually like the Windows operating system, since I'm really productive on it. But I think the vendors need to get their

Excellent news. I own a Chromecast, but I feel that it's overly hyped. There isn't a lot of content that I would want on my TV. For me, it would be good for showing videos/pictures to a group of people. But I don't see m

From a student's perspective, Piazza is really nice for communicating. I have never seen any of the professors at my university use it for anything else. They mostly use Sakai, and I don't really have any complaints about it. (and
