Very poor article. Claiming you can do truly multitasking because it has 2 displays is ridiculous, but that's not the biggest issue in my opinion. More of a problem is that whole vision of this tablet is made on old technologies presented i

My biggest complain is there is no free plan. Acctually I saw later there is 14day free trial and if you can convert big enough % of users to paying customers you rock! Can't tell you much of data value right now as everything is empty so f

All the scientists aren't really looking for "Alien Life" but rather "Life outside of planet Earth that looks very much like life on Earth". To simplify we are made of cells and breathe oxygen but I would argue life can exists in other form

Sweet & simple. 2 questions: - works world-wide or US only? - how much do you charge per verification (SMS / voice)... can't find on a website, but I see I have $20 balance

Exactly my thoughts. We can't deny how versatile smart phones have become, but cutting edge in this case is not iPhone/any other smart phone, but TB Detector.

I agree that majority of managers are attracted by large sums of cash and other perks and were probably even more just a few years ago, but not all. JAL's CEO cut his own wage (from article it seems like that only his wife didn't like idea

Keep in mind that JAL is under chapter 11 bankruptcy, so it's not like JAL is full of cash. I like his attitude more than those bank executives that got bailed out and paid themselves multi millions at the same time.

True, but hackers are smart people and don't like dumb rules. In real physical rolodex you can understand the limit, because it really exists. In Gmail it's hardcoded "OK <= 10000" and that's hard to understand, specially when there's u

Congrats! I really like when Brian's grandfather (Brian is CEO and founder) found idea just fine, as that's the way people were "travelling" 60+ years ago - they just stayed at someone's house. Like history reinvented.

All OK, but I'm European. I've worked in USA, so I have social-security, but don't have permanent US address. World is a little bigger than USA afterall.

In 1848 people were just tired and full of anger for the "world" they were living in. In 2011 people are not just tired and full of anger for the countries they're living in, but they also have communication they never had before, which mea

Even barcodes are not good for unique IDs in stores, since you can have same product eg. CHocolate produced in two different plants. Basic rule is: never use any data as unique ID, always use an abstract field for that.

Me neither, but he made a point! "Readability’s business model is to charge a subscription fee, keep 30 percent, and pass 70 percent along to the writers/publishers of the articles being read by Readability users. Sound familiar?"
