It's not a workaround. A workaround wouldn't solve the original problem: getting an education. Homeschooling does that. "It's not a solution, it's a workaround" is used when one does not wish to allow solutions that reject the current sys

Or you could give it more money and call it a day.

Apple does the same sort of thing, but even more so. Tapping, holding, double tapping, triple tapping, tap and hold, etc. The home button is ridiculously overused, a consequence of less hardware holding more and more uses.

Most families today choose a dual income over the reduced childcare and educational costs and greater control over the education of their children. It's a trade-off few people consider. Income is not the only aspect of this.

WiFi Direct or Bluetooth seem to work well for that. Or a camera and a QRCode. Or infrared was the cool way to do that back in the day; I remember that my Palm Pilot could do that. We have a billion ways to do these things that people do

I like my Galaxy Tab. I found it actually is more usable as a tablet than the iPad. The home screens are more powerful, the native Google Apps kick more butt, and its multitasking is better. Sure, it doesn't have all the apps, but I use t

I've never understood the appeal of this. Why not just tape a debit card to the back of your phone? I've got a VISA with "Blink". It hasn't exactly revolutionized paying for things. It's not really a technological advance for me to have
