Ohh, I never got used to the split keyboards. I got one Microsoft keyboard (I believe it was called the ComfortCurve?) that was something between a regular keyboard and a split keyboard but wasn't split. It was fairly comfortable and cheap.

For some very odd reason, I find myself typing as much as 20-30 wpm faster (so something like 150wpm-ish with 98+% accuracy, or so the typing tests say) on the low profile Apple keyboards (I have the bluetooth one, and my MacBook's keyboard

I'm such a whore for black business cards. My personal business/freelance business card is black but it's also matte ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/chix0r/1409350187/ ), and half of one side is not black. It's entirely possible to write on

a lot of browsers still tack on " http://www ." and ".com" to a generic term you enter in the address bar. Some of them redirect to a search page, but still.

the "new" delicious preview drops that name and uses delicious.com instead. Also, delicious.com redirects to del.icio.us. also, in the very beginning when I was using delicious I'd type delicious.com instead of del.icio.us. It's just harder

I love how one of the others on that list is some consultant for the hd-dvd promotion group. (then again, he apparently pushed for dvd adoption, which was a smart thing)

YES! I absolutely do not understand why parents make their kids go through this torture. Thankfully I have very open minded Korean parents and grew up in the US, but right now I am in such a better position than half my parents' friends kid

It depends on the person. I know too many (see long rant of a comment on this same topic) who've gone the route of study study study study study go to ivy. One's committed suicide. Some work themselves as usual..until they get burnt out. Ot

I disagree. Korean society idolizes the English language to the point that it's usually taught as a main secondary language starting from elementary school, and you pretty much can't get into any half decent Korean university if your Englis

There already are exams if you want to go on (e.g. that GRE link). But having all graduates take it regardless is quite useless, especially as a method to determine how "good" one program/class/graduate is to another. We've already had to d

I had one domain name I wanted for my personal site, and the .com was taken (and not even available for an extortionate amount despite that there was only advertising on there), so I got that name .org and .net. Unless people knew/looked up

xcode. textmate if you want a very sweet programmers editor on steroids. depending on what you do though that may not be the answer. lots of ways to develop for mac. is there something in particular you had in mind? xcode is the absolute wr

I was going to print my own but the cost would have been the same as Vistaprint if not more expensive (cost of perforated business card paper + ink is not insignificant) and not as professional-looking, so I was going to go with Vistaprint

Actually, MacBooks only come with glossy displays, you have no choice over it. The MacBook Pros come with glossy or matte, you choose.

The thing is, I know how small the Kindle is. In theory, it's pretty cool. But it is definitely not something that fits in my purse or in my pocket like the iPhone does..and even if it did it doesn't do everything the phone can (especially

Hmm, interesting. My boyfriend has a kindle and I've occasionally played around with it. I love books, so I've also checked out the sony reader, cybook, etc., and I've owned a couple of ancient ebook readers as well. I really love the idea

With netnewswire available for free (with a lot more features, I might add), this was only inevitable. Now, if only DW will rethink his stance on xtorrent being shareware given that many other bittorrent clients are vastly better and also f

softlayer, layeredtech as mentioned above are both fantastic albeit on the pricey side. currently with vectoral.info, have been with them for something like a year now and love them in general, but their selection of linux distros is meh. w
