He may be looking to pursue a green card which is not possible with TN status.

> Apple pays well. A company requires more than 'pays well' to be a great company to work for, if that's what you're suggesting.

Not the GP, but I was able to pick up a new 4gb model from the Acer online store a few weeks ago (the Canadian store - I don't think Acer is selling it new in the US anymore). If y…

For developers, installing Crouton turns the Chromebook into a fantastic portable machine. My Acer c720 has been able to handle everything I've thrown at it, and generally lasts a …

I don't see the problem. Google is letting people pay to beta test their product. They aren't forcing anyone to buy anything nor are they marketing it as a finished product.

Many larger companies pay experienced interns fairly close to what they pay new graduates, which can easily end up being $40+ / hour.

I'd be very interested to hear how you think brute forcing my 22 character password is easier than stealing my laptop and fooling the fingerprint sensor.

It depends what I'm doing. I generally have two different Linux installs on each of my computers: A Gentoo + XMonad environment for development, and a Debian + KDE environment for …

I'd argue that Google does updates right as well. Both my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 were updated a few weeks ago within a few days of the update being released. It's Samsung, HTC, etc. w…

Weird, I must be imagining the 16+ hours of battery life I've been getting nearly daily for the past 3 and a half months. I know different people have different usage patterns, but…

> no LTE Fair enough. > battery life Benchmarks never demonstrate typical use cases, which is especially true for battery life. Unless all you do is load web pages for hours on end…

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I've been using ConnectBot[1] for the past year or so and it has worked great. I've never used it with a physical keyboard, though,…

Yes. You should be able to run any software that runs on Windows 8 (not to be confused with RT). In addition, you can connect a monitor to it through the Mini DisplayPort and mouse…
