The primary purpose of income tax (unlike, say, the cigarette tax), isn't to reward or penalize people for making less or more money. It's to generate revenue for the government.

I made the same commitment at the same time (though I've probably paid to see Sony movies, alas), but I was still looking enviously at their laptops last time I was buying one. Still, it gives me a fair amount of satisfaction to choose some

They come with a convenient "minimize" button that the user can click to reveal the IE icon on their desktop.

I work for a local-government IT department in the DC area. We're on IE7, but we have automatic updates turned off. At first, a few years ago, it was because there was one specific update that broke our Oracle software, so everything got tu

A comedy special isn't an every-couple-of-weeks thing, and the front page of reddit isn't a very exclusive club. I'd bet five bucks that his next $5 special enjoys a great deal of attention from there.

My x120e, the immediate predecessor, is my everyday machine. I'm sad that I've just got an AMD Fusion instead of an i3, though.

Look, if you sign up, you sign up to actually give marrow if there's a match. Period. Unless you're not healthy enough, there's no excuse for welching on a deal that involves someone's life.

Amit Gupta's influence on bone marrow registration will uncertainly save several lives over the next decades. The role of technology and the associated community is an important part of that story. It's certainly one of the factors in my de

I don't know where you saw the Microsoft-bashing in that paragraph.

I love my x120e, and it doesn't need quotes around the word ultraportable.

Wells Fargo and Suntrust are well-known banks, too.

"Nothing," really? This seems like a very real-world sort of test that gives a fairly decent indication of the kind of pictures that you're likely to get in the conditions indicated. It's not scientific, and there are lots of uncontrolled v

I love the convex/concave in/out zoom. The other stuff seems less intuitive, but still pretty impressive.

The flip side of this is the Allied code making operation, which was a hell of a thing as well. Between Silk and Cyanide is an account by Leo Marks, the man in charge of that effort. It's a fantastic read. http://amzn.com/0684864223

re [0]: It seems clear that it's a political choice-- Google's not releasing a flagship that's not a "Nexus," and Samsung's not releasing a high-end phone that's not a "Galaxy." What do you think of "Nexus Galaxy"?

I'm especially excited by how much they're stealing from WebOS. The app switching and the flicking out of notifications look neato.

It's the same size as the screen on the Nexus S, but the buttons are now just a part of the screen, so the diagonal is bigger.

Speed, maybe, but whenever I use my iPhone or Droid Incredible for web browsing and multitasking, I miss the WebOS app switching interface something terrible. It's the best handling of multitasking on a mobile device, period.

Given the Facebook community's tendency to be irritated with change (if only for a week or so), anything that effects the status quo could be a catalyst for Google+ adoption.

What if, for a search with no good results, it spat down the extra "new overlap" UI with the search text already filled in? EDIT: Or keep it the way it is, just with the same field for search and the new overlap, but with the other stuff be

Are you the founder? (If you are, we have 11 things in common!) This is a really neat idea, and the post does a good job explaining it. I just signed up and I'm playing around. A brief note: the "Show me [Safe for all ages|Moderate\Unsure|R

From their site: http://www.copenhagensuborbitals.com/launchsite.php We launch from sea in Denmark, east of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. We like the idea of launching (and landing) on water. If we are able to control this environment we ar

Do they expect the enterprise to flock to this? As a nerdy consumer, I love that they're moving forward on UI, but as someone who deals with end users, this is going to scare the shit out of people. I don't see a start button anywhere in th
