   Truth be told, the blog post started as a straight off rant, but over the week it took me to finish it I came to that realization.

   Looks great. It'd be nice if I were able to put in more than one website address for where folks could find out more about me. I use stack overflow's cv publishing, but have my own site. Don't want the headache of keeping two CVs up to date

   Got the same thing using Chrome and FF on Ubuntu. I do not have "No Script". I did submit a User Voice suggestion about it.

   Just a note: There is no clear-type for vertically oriented monitors under Windows.

   Thank you. I forgot to add that the touch pad stinks. Putting a strip of scotch tape along the bottom where the "buttons" are helps things considerably. Wireless mouse helps more.

   I bought the Dell Mini-10 a year ago, and I love it. The keyboard on the Dell is laid out slightly better than the Eeepc (IMO), and it runs Windows 7 fast enough for the majority of what I do. I went with the 6 cell battery, so start up tim

    Does the google api allow you to get data out of Sharepoint that wasn't accessible via the Sharepoint Web Services already?

    I'm trying to figure out why this is news. Does Google's API allow you to get data out of Sharepoint that you couldn't get using the Sharepoint Web Services?

    I like having a mouse pointer slightly more precise than a big fuzzy ball. But I can see this serving an interesting niche.

    I did actually do some testing of some Origami devices when I was working for a large health care company. They were commercially available. Our issues with these always came down to battery life. I think current processor/solid state drive

    I believe that the renderings are based off of the "Codex": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=049_U-0C9qU No idea how old that video is, but the concept looks okay.

    In case someone pops in without looking at the site, it's basically a way for small web design companies to get the MS Platform for free.

    Wow. This is brilliant. Especially the sins committed, as I am also guilty of a number of them. This has inspired me to begin looking back at my projects and compiling a similar list of things that I have learned by doing it wrong.

    I don't get that from the site: http://drh.img.digitalriver.com/store/mswpus/ContentTheme/pb... I could be wrong though. They do tell you to run the upgrade checker to insure that your computer will handle Windows 7.

    Agreed. And in the example case of the scuba shop, the author seems like he's complaining because the scuba shop operator didn't want to eat what he was being fed. The article does make a good point though, in that in order to maintain a su

    I almost did the same thing. But then I started resizing my browser, expecting the site to immediately become useless when I did so. I was pleasantly surprised. I don't necessarily like the design / layout, but it appears that they did it

    I like it, but I don't think it's really a competitor to an Apple tablet. It looks to me more like an advanced digital photo frame. I don't see any options for adding new software, and I don't see any evidence that it is touch enabled at al

    In my experience Option B above only occurs when leaving a lousy work place. I've done the same thing twice. But after about 2 years of not making money at the "great place to work" I end up having to move on to something that is also inter

    Oddly. most of my crew is playing with mono, but we're all skeeved out by the app store. For now we're just looking at mono touch, but a lot of us play with Mono on Linux in our spare time.
