    Wow, this summarizes my natural sleep requirements too! I feel blessed that as a dev my job is flexible enough to accommodate it. This is stating the obvious, but this sleep requir…

    If keeping the "how to" videos off the internet is their survival strategy, they've already lost. IMO this is not a threat to Nintendo, and those who want to emulate will figure it…

    I mostly agree, but recently I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Apple TV app became available on my 2017 50" LG. I was able to remove my Gen 3 Apple TV box. The only app I…
