One of the reasons I could never do manual labor for the rest of my life (after working on farms and road crews) was the sheer intellectual loneliness of it. No matter how strong I was, or how fast I worked (I'm still pretty good with a pic

It does. I was unemployed for a year and a half, and even Wal-Mart wouldn't hire me.

You’re very correct on everything. However, what about anything that is largely async? Background daemons?

Why do you think it was bad? (DiP, not 3). No snark. I have both DiP and PtHW on my Kindle, and I can't straddle both to the end.

It does DisplayPort, which is a terminal connection. I'm thinking the new ones could use the thunderbolt bus to both initialize the internal video card, as well as pass through DisplayPort to another monitor.

I expect Matrox would be up for building it since they already have an established base for video switching. However, I've always suspected that the iMac is the real successor to the Cinema Display line: Thunderbolt pass-through, internal v

Scrolling was stupid. Changed, even with a magic mouse. Airport Express configuration was less robust (couldn't save config options), but the host router was pure crap. Somehow SL's utility could deal with the QoS issues. Couldn't install a

No. Macs used to provide a better environment for using Adobe products, including OS-level color profiles, a ton of printing stuff, and most importantly: Mac-only fonts and resources. An agency could amass upwards of 200k of fonts, and no

Does anyone know how they hold up in uneven power situations? As far as I can tell the electronic ballast is the number one reason CFLs fail so frequently, and I've seen plain old incandescents outlast CFLs in many shop conditions. If LED b

"had ended up neatly filling a need"? Passive voice is discouraged grammatically, however evolution is pretty much the embodiment of a passive voice.

This: http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/?p=28237 Is a lot more helpful. There's still a lot of market to cover, so it's not like iOS and Android are cannibalizing each others sales yet.

I'm going to quote myself: "It sets a precedent that tracking someone's movements is A-OK." Anything that large will require metrics and user tracking to understand what to show. It matches the ads to the user, not to the site, by invading

It sets a precedent that tracking someone's movements is A-OK. Marco also has a stake in a wholly different idea of what advertising is. Notice "The Deck"s advertisement in his sidebar? He doesn't hate advertisements at all. He wants ad n

Nerd chic is as dead as punk in 1990. Most social movements are commoditized by way of cultural signifiers, and when the cultural impact of those signifiers goes away, so does the soul of the movement. "Nerd" used to be about the intellectu

Doing anything outside of work other than going to the bar signifies intellectual curiousness and a willingness to expand. Why do you think there are so many designers in bands? Hell, Feynman took up Samba.

I assume there's probably a risk of arbitrary code execution, which is mostly mitigated by vetting each ad. Too bad though, would be nice to see what could be built for iOS web apps.

I disagree based on the lack of my generation's (millennial) John Waters. Or Maya Deren. John Water's ideal was to flip an idea into a movie in an afternoon. With the prevelance of RED, iPhones, Canon 5Ds, and a few hundred metric tons of m

As someone who's taught educational technology as a sort-of TA in college, I've seen this, and something a bit similar: folders, but not well organized. If it's more than one deep, it's lost. Same thing with my parents. But really, are they
