A little tangential question - but is there a time at which art becomes public domain? 50 years after its creation? Longer? edit: Here's more details https://copyright.cornell.edu/…

I know many such cases as well. Unfortunately it's hard to prove discrimination and the laws are not in favor of the employee in most states. So apart from a news coverage like thi…

The CTO probably had a lions share in that. Not surprised how it went. :(

During regular working hours? No way! 545 is awesome and takes ~30 minutes to Seattle. So an hour is more realistic. Even carpool is not bad with much better HOV coverage.

One big problem with cycling is riding in rain or cold weather. If only there was a canopy that I could put on my bike in a few minutes and then go out for ride, that'd be so aweso…

Yes. It does.

Amazon recently announced PostgreSQL support for Aurora. That should give you what you are looking for.

Round is a significant advantage? How so?

I'd love for recipe sites to have this feature where I can plan a meal for the week at office on a weekday during break time and the groceries required for the meal show up at my d…

What a teaser of an article. I wish it included more details about how Facebook and Google went about reimagining the server architecture and design.

What is a large Excel file here? hundreds of Megs? For most files that I encounter, my old Surface RT works great.

Wonder what Andy Rubin thinks about how this fits into the definition of open https://twitter.com/Arubin/status/27808662429

Not just that, Google is devoting its energy to develop the closed platform rather than developing android. The example you give are relatively minor updates with major new functio…

Should be useful when playing family feud. ;)

Whoa, this discussion looks like an ad for Surface Pro! All you who are griping for a tablet not being productive, should seriously give Pro a shot

Get a surface Pro. You should be able to do both the things, work and play without having to worry about switching devices.

Does this not create a webkit monoculture? Find a security flaw in website and suddenly two thirds of browsers are vulnerable.

Regarding the programmable part, have you tried the new JavaScript based office applications in office 2013? I haven't but heard good things about it

Interesting, What part of it?

Fortunately there are options to android itself :) Try out Surface.

Microsoft's browser doesn't get much love here but browsing is a lot of fun on Surface. First its a full desktop class browser with flash support (albeit only on some sites) the se…

Regarding your "touch what daddy is touching" comment, why is that not true for a keyboard or touch pad?

What do you mean " it won't compete in the desktop/high end laptop segment, it's just not capable enough" ? What is it not capable of?

Completely misunderstood the product. Its a mistake to compare the Surface pro with iPad. The right device to compare with is the MacBook air. both of them have the same capability…

It was more fun when it was in the middle of the room with the kids playing either setback joyride or fruit ninja. Its stable on stand but only as much fun as any other desktop. (n…
