Disagree! You should see the amazingly creative things my kids can make using only the Chi pieces from the Chima sets! We have a lot of chi. Kids seem to find ways to be creative n…

Maybe I'm missing something here. A quick google search says Win 7 upgrade is around $60. A cheap laptop is $299. The cheapest macbook is $1299.

Yes. All pre-requisites will be downloaded during install.

Scott Hanselman has been an outspoken advocate for this type of move within Microsoft. Hard to say how much influence he has had, but I think it's probably not insignificant.

My guess is that they will soon introduce Xamarin into the MSDN subscription plans. Hook developers with the free tools, and then sell the cross-platform, mobile capabilities of Xa…

Looks tumblr-ish with a splash of Facebook thrown in. Or maybe tumblr/twitter hybrid?

All I know is that every one of my kids' friends knows about and plays Minecraft regularly. Even girls pay, though not as many. Among elementary school age kids, it's as close to u…

In addition to being physically hard work, you need to get out and go to the job site. That incurs overhead in the form of fewer billable hours per day. So if you're 30 minutes to/…

Presumably citizens are allowed because they don't have the power to charge & convict you of some alleged crime. If the citizen's imagery were somehow brought into a legal matter, …

If you guys are interested in data-mining Strava, here is some interesting info on their metro project and how they are using it to affect change. http://blog.strava.com/arent-we-a…

As much as I want to believe in these kinds of live sports services, I'm always disappointing in the quality and/or reliability of the feed. Maybe it's my ISP, I don't know. But fo…

Is anyone else disappointed this thread is not about brewing your own beer?

I had the flu last month (actually tested positive), and the Tamiflu seemed to get me back on my feet pretty quickly. At the same time, my wife took a prophylactic dose and she did…

I second the nomination for crashplan. I use it on Windows, but linux client is available.

I agree. If they wrap this into their MSDN subscription packages, then it opens up a ton of new users.

Maybe it's not about the shipping. Lots of people are "cutting the cord" of their cable or satellite providers in favor of online video content. Amazon sees the opportunity to get …

As a runner, I'm always looking out for portables and taking mental notes because you never know when you're going to need one. I joked with some friends a few years ago that this …

The reason email usage is so ubiquitous is because everyone has an email address, and the protocols are well-known and universal. How else would you propose inviting people to a me…

My model has a backlit keyboard and a little light near the videocam that shines down. You can rotate between modes (dim, med, bright keyboard, top light) using the FN-space combin…

Thanks. I'll take a look.

Got a laptop recently for a new project. All of my colleagues raved about Lenovo. I went with a Lenovo ThinkPad W530. Great machine, right? I hate it. I hate it because they put th…

Finally a tech company with enough good sense to realize that if you get a buyout offer that starts will "b" and ends with "illions", you take the money!

I agree. It's the first thing I thought when I read it. This is a stunningly huge point of failure with a very high probability that any one patient will either: forget their phone…

Science and technology are incremental. Someone needs to take the first step before the second can be taken.

I would ask the boss to sit down with me and give me some guidance and advice on how to improve.
