nice work; some feedback on the windows 8 version: - note titles should be editable directly (currently the note takes the title of whatever my first line of text is; feels odd) - support for bullets and numbering would be nice (lack of the

that may be true, but getting it (or any new technology for that matter) to the point where it’d be economically viable requires an investment at some point.. and ‘blowing’ those billions in the 80s may very-well not have paid-off with econ

wow, that’s pretty sad. the 'moderate' path would have required an average expenditure of ~$2.5 billion a year, and projected the completion of a reactor by 2005. a pretty small investment when you consider the size of the federal budget [1

speaking of the desert, anyone know how dubai has managed water access through all this growth? i know many countries in the region (namely kuwait and saudi) utilize desalinization on a large scale, though i’ve heard it's only economically

it’s actually been around for a little while now. i remember first hearing of it about a year ago, and according to this [1] they launched a private beta back in december 2011 as for how serious they are, i’d say not really, at least in ter

oh, haha. well that makes sense.. seems i've shown my age.. though i definitely read that, my mind seems conditioned to totally ignore the notion of faxing something. not discounting anything here, but just find it kind of funny. given my p

i guess it comes down in-part to how you consume music as well. i will agree though that on soundcloud, where much of the music is unofficial releases and remixes, cover art is typically lacking in quality

I don't get why music sites feel cover art is so important. It is so generic and interchangeable. Some more tags/genres shown would be much more important to me. maybe it’s a matter of preference and the way one handles information, but i

a great bit of UX detail worth noting is that it prepends '▶' to the page title when audio is playing, so you can see which browser tab sound is coming from - something all multimedia pages should adopt! totally agree. and, in general, lo

i’d say the big differentiator here is the software. iOS isn’t optimized for keyboard input (and, as far as i know, doesn’t support mouse input at all). Windows RT however, being essentially the same as Windows 8 in this regard, is efficien
