    You don't want to drive to that Trader Joe's. They have the worst parking garage I've ever seen. It's really difficult to get into and out of without hitting a post or another car.…

    You're right, being fired disqualifies you from collecting unemployment. But you should still file anyway. Your former employer has to provide an explanation of why you were let go…

    As someone who recently was fired . . . you're right, it's not the end of the world. But it does make life very uncomfortable for a lot of reasons. You don't see work friends. You …

    Everyone agrees that we're going to call this "sock-el" right?

    I suspect they believe only visitors with Windows machines will ever visit their site.

    I feel like consumers are clamoring for an Android phone that runs stock Jelly Bean. The Nexus 7 shipped with stock Android 4.1 and it has been very successful in the tablet market…

    This article demonstrates the increasing gap between tech reporters and consumers. Announcements and marketing aren't the metrics for the quality of a product. Design, user experie…

    I'm impressed with how responsive the author has been in the comments here. It seems like each concern is met with a reply and even some times he creates an issue item for it in Gi…

    The Windows RT version of the Surface is a consumption device. I feel like the primary use cases are reading, movies, web, e-mail and so on. You'll have to wait for the x86 version…

    I think you'd be surprised at how a color that is SO DIFFERENT could make the device seem unique and individual. Everyone has either a black or a brushed metal laptop. Something th…

    I haven't been able to find any credible information about resolutions but the rumors seem to point toward less than retina. But the flip side of that is most of the Windows 8 inte…

    Anecdotally, I have an oddly large population of vistors to my site with Firefox 9. I don't know what changes were made to how Firefox updates around that time. But it seems like t…

    This is a false dichotomy. The data you're getting in iOS is not wholly incorrect. You're right that there are some big holes. But, in apps like foursquare, the speed gains are sig…

    I can't tell you how many times I had to read this in college. It was the first text we read in at least 5 of my courses my junior year. Both classic and ahead of his time.
