    When he says he wouldn't pass himself, he does not mean that the interview doesn't work. What he means is that the standard he is setting is too high for him to pass but not for ex…

    Monthly current affairs magazines fare slightly better than daily news in dealing with sensational content. This problem is even worse in tv media. Only a few shows do in-depth ana…

    Though usually, it is something that improves over a long period of time, there is one shortcut you can try. But it is quite tedious. What you need are recorded conversations. You …

    Also note that high end mice almost never have their sensor on the side.

    I can draw a few diagrams to show the clockwise and anticlockwise tilt would give you different amounts of movement with the cursor.

    When you switch to a different model, there would be learning curve because the change in distance from the center would change the movement of the cursor slightly.

    I agree that it would not make a difference if the mouse is only moved in straight lines and never tilted. But when you use the mouse, there usually is some tilt. And because of it…

    I know the mice are good and durable. But the position of the sensor is not even fixed. No doubt, once you get used to the mouse you wont feel like there is a problem. But I think …
