actually I think you can just stick some electrical tape over the data pins in a standard USB cable. not sure how this device does anything different.

I upvoted this, because I think it's definitely a good way to stay focused (and I should be doing a better job of it, too). but the issue with his analogy is that brushing your teeth is fairly routine. you go about it at pretty much the sam

The cost of switching is a high barrier for many people. Changing from Windows to Ubuntu requires you to find equivalents for all of the software you need. Changing from your browser -> Firefox = most websites will still work, no additi

Thanks so much. I had to do this just earlier today and ended up using a tmp file.

I would recommend making a Facebook VM if you really want to get on. This helps on two fronts: 1) You must REALLY want to get on facebook if you go through the extra step of booting up a VM 2) They can track all they want inside your VM si

In the future, they should create the microholes and keep the logo dimly lit in the orientation that faces the user when they open the laptop. Once the laptop is open, the array of LEDs could change to make the logo oriented the current way

Or, direct plug-in to PCI-E like the revodrive.

For me, only my closer friends are on G+. Unfortunately, this is the same group of people who don't post on FB, so similarly, my G+ is pretty quiet. It's nice though - really cuts out the "noise". In a way, I don't mind if it stays this way

really impressive and fast work! for me, however, I would like to see an implementation of Dalvik VM as a "card" similar to how they've managed to boot Ubuntu/LXDE as a "card". That way, we could retain the best of both worlds - webOS + and

Yes, I've read some reports about the hardware cost being in the neighborhood of $300. Definitely not zero margin.

I HATE these chairs too. However, someone recently told me that they come in different sizes, so maybe mine was just the wrong size for me. I've also heard that what seems comfortable might not be best for you too.

Well, sure. As the economy moves to be more global, jobs previously held by the US are now moving to China. Just a few weeks ago Goldman Sachs announced layoffs in the US, but added jobs in Singapore and Brazil. This is only going to contin

Dropbox's sync indicator is still in the corner for me, just as it always has been, so it seems to work fine. How is everyone's alt-tab performance? I've been trying to like it, but alt-tab is so slow that it's barely usable. I don't have a

Unfortunately, just by glancing at article, you can see that they made comparisons by picking poor photographs on flickr and beautiful, colorful images for 500px. Bias much?

Could you add 'rm -rf' to histignore? I remember it works with patterns but can't remember if you can use it for specific commands. I'm not on my linux box now so I can't test it.

Not that I know of, but I bet we could pull enough people together to make this a regular thing. In fact, I wouldn't mind volunteering some time to get this started.

How did they have this already ready? Was this a previous phone design that they just rendered with Windows Phone 7, or had they been working with Microsoft already?

Try Shift-Ctrl-Alt + Arrow key. I just tried it in Chrome on ArchLinux and Gnome.

I'm surprised that there's no LTE. Isn't Verizon's new network supposed to be up and running soon?

There is a reviews section on both sites that have pretty decent contributors. I've looked up many a component/bike there to get a good idea on what's worth it and what isn't. Some items even have photos, and some people have posted how muc

One idea i've really been thinking about is traffic analysis over time. Where I live, traffic is highly variable. If I leave 5 minutes later one morning, there might be no traffic at all, but if I left another 3 minutes after that, I would

Does LogicAid ring a bell? I dreaded that class, but it really showed you how to pace yourself. This is a great modernization!

I've been trying all sorts of ways to "speed" it up. Logging in/out of gmail, different browsers, going through the blog link, etc. I guess you just get it when you get it, like the phone feature last week.

Same. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who wanted the 1080p on the old model. I wonder what the rationale is in not having it.

I've found that an e-book whether in the form of an ipad or Kindle like device is great for reading for pleasure. Novels and News articles fly by for me. However, when I try to read any technical book on my Sony reader, I feel frustrated. I

This exact scenario actually happened to me. I thought everything went extremely well, but I was ultimately rejected for fear of me using the position as a stepping stone. I find that logic to be pretty flawed - as someone who was unemploye

Unfortunately, the Droid X does not have Froyo yet, nor is the bootloader decrypted yet, so there's no way to get 2.2 on it as of right now. Hopefully it gets it soon, since the Droid 2 announced today does have it.

You'd be surprised at how many people who own iphones own one outside of their means. There are tons of people working two jobs or never eating out just to pay their cell phone bill.
