Samsung has a printer business? Who knew?

It's really encouraging to see people in the system who really care about helping the people they serve, and this judge is clearly in that category. His comments in the video about…

Intuit has squandered the Quicken brand for years with lousy updates and even worse customer support. In some respects it's good to see them sell it to someone who might do somethi…

This is an interesting chapter in the "Tim will never be Steve" saga that so many people are infatuated with. This particular hill that Tim Cook has decided to defend is as importa…

This looks like a really well thought out implementation that ought to fit a lot of use cases. Put myself in the alpha queue this morning. I'll look forward to testing it out.

It's kind of weird once you start using it, that you'll notice the difference in the shoes you're wearing. If I come back from the gym in a pair of running shoes, there's just enou…

No real advantage per se. I've used them in the shop, and was impressed with the quality. And, it seems like when I got it, it may have been on sale. I kind of figured that for the…

I'm using a Jarvis Standing Desk Frame - http://www.ergodepot.com/Jarvis_Frame_p/jrv-fr.htm With a 72x36 Maple butcher block top from Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Relius-Solution…

It's exciting to see some thought and movement at this level. The existing system is broken when it comes to actual student knowledge. A lot of systems are to fault, but as the mod…

Agreed. And, that's actually pretty scary. When it comes to Ferguson-type departmental corruption, it shows just how institutionalized the racism is - and how far it extends outsid…

This is a problem at the top and the bottom of the department, and it won't get fixed until both sides are held appropriately accountable. The beat officers don't care because thei…

I've been a member since '83 or '84. I've undoubtedly gotten the my original money's worth out of my membership dozens of times over. The article raises an interesting point. While…

It's helpful when looking at a modern IBM to consider them as a finance company as opposed to a tech company.

If Fitbit would make a 22mm band to fit my existing Maratac dive watch, I'd give them another $249 tomorrow. I love the functionality of the Surge. I don't need a screen - the conn…

Selfishly, I'm glad to see that Nashville isn't on this list! Though I'd be interested to see how it compares. There seem to be a lot of cities that offer good talent with a great …

I realize that full curation probably isn't possible as this thing scales, but as a parent, this thing will live or die based on the content they allow into the stream. I love watc…

At some point, people have to begin to realize that this has progressed past "looking for terrorists." Statists are gonna state, I guess.

Big companies, yes. Small businesses, not so much. There's certainly an unrealized support cost. But in my experience, it's pretty common to see several different manufacturers and…

There are some interesting corollaries that make this interesting from an InfoSec perspective. Heart of the matter is that most consumers - whether personal or business users will …

You're correct. Edited above. Made a mental association equating NADA with the manufacturers and that's inaccurate.

It strikes me as terribly inefficient to house the software on dealerships' servers - not to mention a change management nightmare given the different competency levels amongst dea…

McMaster-Carr's fulfillment services are truly top-notch. There have been times that I've specifically ordered from them because I knew that I'd have it the next day. They've never…

This was my favorite part of the video, and I think it was genuine. The guy in the blue shirt and the one with grayer hair immediately afterward seemed like school kids seeing some…

I can't even imagine how expensive consumables for an HP branded printer will be! Mind you, there's a lot of room for innovation in this space. I just don't see HP as being positio…

Why we as American consumers continue to tolerate behavior like this out of our carriers is beyond me...
