See figure 1. From what I gather in the paper, this RAPM is a speed measure. If I'm interpreting this stuff correctly at all (never read anything in this field before) performing 40% more tasks per unit time is quite worthwhile!

I suppose this shows Google is not Dell: selling expensive goods online-only requires some specific expertise. The good thing for Google is, that all they probably really care about is the success of the Android platform; as long as the wor

I'd say it would only be fraud if he misreported his methods in his papers. I think the Slate author just says that she assumed his methods to have been different than they were, after reading Gladwell's story about them. Also, it seems t

Actually, he's talking about children "in a low socio-economic status classroom in New York City", not old people, and not in developing countries. I've never dealt with students who "didn't grasp the concept of keyboard shortcuts", and so

Yes. And indeed, in the rest of the article, the author points out that your quote above is a rather "parochial concern", and that "there will always be a higly literate future for the highly literate". (I think the author would have done b

He's probably not even aware of it; it's the default on WordPress. To get rid of the ads, you'd first have to be aware that there are any at all (and you won't normally be served ads when you're logged-in as an author), and then pay for the

I do the same. In fact, if it's a relatively young company and I find that the blog hasn't been updated for months, that will influence my decision on buying their product. The blog may or may not be a good indicator of company health, I do

The article is right, but it's hard to read. If you don't read carefully, it seems to suggest cycling your battery more, when actually it just suggests not pushing it near 100% charge too long. Here's a complete and simple summary of good p

For desk use, it's best for your battery to remove it from the laptop once it's fully charged. You don't want to continuously plug/unplug your laptop because that would just cycle the battery a lot, and that's not good for it either. As for

I think that's different. On a shopping street, I don't have to be looking for a book store to run into one. I might not buy anything the first time, but now I know it's there. And every time I walk out the clothing store, I'm reminded the

The busy-shopping-street analogy is something I've been thinking about before; what is an online shopping street? It seems to me Max couldn't really find the online equivalent either: both Apple's App Store and Facebook have plenty quiet st

As a completely uninformed person, can I ask whom "the good father" in the parable refers to? I have to say that while parables can be very powerful, this one only so thinly veils reality, that it confuses more than it helps.

In my own experience, wrist pains didn't actually come from wrist action, but from wrist action with my arm in an unnaturally high position: on a high desk, with your shoulder kind of "locked", you bend your wrist to reach for the arrows. A

Jolie, could you perhaps apply some extra moderation on what you submit here? There's lots of good stuff on RWW - including lots of your own. But this piece is just a rehash of Atwood's ramble...
