    I know it sounds unrealistically pessimistic but it's very similar to my experience. Colleagues developing a host of awful conditions due to a terribly stressful environment. Doing…

    I love the passion Bob puts into his work. This is such a fine book. I've already read it but I'm definitely getting the final version in paper.

    My wrist pain is so bad I've had to change profession. Nevertheless, computers are used in every job. At first, ergonomic keyboards and mice were enough. Then any kind of mice was …

    Hacker Keyboard is my favorite keyboard on Android. I only wish it had swipe support but it seems the developer has abandoned the project.

    I think it reads well but I would prefer if the examples given were correct first time around and then talk about what might go wrong, whereas right now, it describes what might go…

    It could just show the ten best selling apps that don't include the one you already have installed. So instead of 1, 3, 4, it would push 3 up to 2 and 4 up to 3. I'd also like if t…
