Sometimes it displays two words at a time. Otherwise, very cool!

It would be great if MIT Tech Review dropped its political agenda and just, you know, reported on technology. These "rich-getting-richer" addresses may actually be held by business…

A) Your argument against H-1B's is disingenuous at best. And I'm curious, are you against expanding H-1B's but in favor of increasing the amount of low-skill immigrants and/or gran…

Great design is art. You can master the principles, techniques, and skills, but in the end great design comes down to vision and imagination. However that doesn't mean developers c…
