I wonder how comfortable it'd be if the controllers were split in the center and the resultant looked like dual nunchucks. You could join them by a cable and add motion detection too. Since the left and right hands are essentially now indep

This is a good point. Also since it's running Android, I'd expect it to be fully compatible with the market place apps. Which means, I can run a webserver from this box if I care. Or more sanely, I could connect to my DLNA enabled media ser

Iirc skydrive offers 25 gigs. I wonder why they're saying just 7 though. EDIT - Yep my account says 25. I'm thoroughly confused.

I have a 15.4" 16:10 screen, and I just placed an A4 sheet over it. The width of the sheet is identical to the height of my screen, while the length is around 1.5 inches lesser. This brings us to an aspect ratio of sqrt(2) with a 14.4" scre

Yep. Dictionary.com calls it obsolete. Webster wants me to pay, and OED can't find it. conject late 14c., obs. verb replaced by conjecture (v.). Also in form congette.

I understand that as a partner in an LLC/WLL that even in a "limited liability" the liability is quite present. :-) I'm too young to remember private banks as llc/wll though. This reminds me of an anecdote told by my dad. He had bankers cal

One thing I've learnt is that we're all making it up as we go. So did our parents. I'm actually amazed that people actually listen to us when we clearly have this weird feeling that "Shit, I have no clue but fuck it let's do it live". You

2160p? Which tablet is this? Also iirc, the Samsung Galaxy S2 tablet versions (i.e. identical to S2 but without the phone) cost around $200 bucks, and that can play any format you throw at it. Plus since it's DLNA capable you could directly

To address that statement, I'd say it's quite fair to assume that Udacity type model is the future of higher education. Of course, not Udacity as it stands now, but I don't think it's even 18 months old. I'm sure they'll see the response, a

Holy balls, it does so less and costs $300? It's cheaper to buy an old unlocked Android phone on ebay and an HDMI cable at that cost. You get a lot more features that way. Also, at 300 bucks, honestly it's going to be much cheaper to set up

I don't think so. There are many pages online that say that Steve Jobs was absolutely against Android. As in, he wasn't in it for the money. He literally wanted to obliterate it. So, I think, if Steve was in charge, there would actually hav

I can totally vouch for nightmode on ezPDF. The only place it borks out is around equation boxes which, I think are images anyway.

Well on my low DPI 1680x1050 (16:10) 22" monitor I can fullscreen PDFs and two pages are visible in one go. It's readable.

I completely agree with you. For something that would use Google currents, I can see myself using a 7-inch tablet. But I think it's going to be quite a while till everyone supports reflowable PDFs. I don't see PDFs running away anytime soon

For a fullpage 2 column PDF, I find even the 10" 16:9 to be a bit small. 4:3 is way better. How would you read PDFs on a 7" 16:9.

Maybe you're right. I've heard that education in Europe is pretty cheap. This could be one of the major factors for having "good enough" salaries. Also, in the US, you need insurance for everything, unlike Europe with public healthcare (I'm

As an avid Android guy, I have to admit that ONE thing Apple got right was the aspect ratio on the iPad. Even though I have the TF101, it's way more convenient to use the iPad in both portrait and landscape as compared to the Android tablet

Do you mean the Silicon Valley? But that doesn't explain the other places on the East and West coast.

Yep. I've got the Old Transformer 101, and the Galaxy S2. Both are totally smooth which is why I was confused as to what you were referring to.

I know the rates in the US are higher, but I'm curious to know why? The standard of living in an average European country is way higher, and the tax is higher as well. So is it basically the demand supply scenario or what?

The ICS browser is the worst offender of this. If you enable Labs mode, the address bar disappears away and you need to gesture-swipe from the screen edge to get a semi-circular menu. Now, this in itself is a brilliant idea, only marred by

I think this is poor design choice. Why would you want to "unlock" a laptop. It is not prone to accidental touches when it's in your pocket or the bag, which is exactly what "<gesture> to unlock" is supposed to prevent. Now, I'm wor

This is going to be funny. When ME came out, enthusiasts started using Windows 2000 on their desktop. Now with MEtro, maybe they'll again go Win 8 Server.

Did they just put the Slide up to unlock on a god-damn laptop? It's not like they can't detect if your computer is equipped with touch or not.

They didn't just copy the layout idea. I mean What is it? A horizontal bar at the top with links to different pages. That's fine. What they did was copy the actual files itself. Which is evident from the comments in the CSS. That's not fine

Hey thanks for the link. It looks useful.
