My sentiments exactly. Windoze has largely caught up in terms of usability and lack of annoyance. The difference is the attitude. MSFT has become what Apple once was--responsive an…

Sadly, as much as I would like the content all to be true, 'Quack' is my assessment too. They say they have been selling this in Austria for 11 years but want crowdfunding to take …

I can't seem to get the links to work. Hacker News effect?

I don't know. I was not blown away. I don't know why it is 'robotic' all it is doing is sliding one way or another. You could make something out of MDF on wheels and move it by han…

(I'm not a member of The Dao, although I do have some Ether. I switched from engineering to law in the early 90's.) I'm sure there are some lawyers who got involved--I was tempted …

how does that keyboard feel? It looks not that great from the photos. Was thinking to get the 15L for my son because the keys look the same as the HP version

I detest the idea of living in a space where I could not open a window. I barely tolerate it in an office environment.

Patents are territorial. If the English guy did not bother to patent in Denmark (highly unlikely especially at that time) then Lego was perfectly free to use the design and build o…

This really does have a stench of scam and a whiff of foolish VC on it. But just like cold fusion you hope deep down that it might be possible. I took a look at the patents which a…

I actually was in the Senate gallery yesterday and watched Diane Feinstein and a male senator co-author discuss to a largely empty chamber. In came former presidential candidate Mc…

My son (a physics student) wrote to me to point me to a crowdsource project for a CPAP machine. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/airing-the-first-hoseless-maskless-micro-cpap#/st…

I found it odd that the author used the personal pronoun 'I' and felt free to apply her own evaluation of comments as the final word. ICANN is a public trust, not a personal fiefdo…

That happens to be a feature of my first car, a 1961 Peugeot 403. Seats folded perfectly flat to form a 'camp bed'. Here's a blog where you can see it--it is found on the first pag…

It was not obvious to me how to save my work, other than as a webpage.

Not me. I used to go to the Sinapore F1. Even with ear plugs it was painful next to the track. It wore me out and really reduced my enjoyment. I for one welcome our new electric ma…

Ah! An area where bitcoin is superior to gold!

I have to respectfully disagree. It is not the transaction fees itself, but the currency exchange rates that kill you at one end or the other. (I would agree with you regarding int…

As a pretty happy galaxy nexus owner (that I just passed to my teenaged son), I've been pretty disappointed with the price point and apparent lack of commitment to the google phone…

Patents are territorial. Unless he applies (has applied at this point) in a particular country, or has a Patent Cooperation Treaty application filed in some country and is pursuing…

Ask yourself, do you know someone with relatives or business activities overseas? Then ask them about their experiences about doing international financial transactions of any kind…

Just a couple of not-very-deep comments: The service did nothing at all on Chrome with ad-block-plus installed. On Firefox the service did show some very nice blue balls moving fro…

The same thing applies to studying for the patent bar. I don't know anyone who didn't take the patent bar review class (giant thing in giant halls with non-stop lectures with no qu…
