Many "recreational" athletes push themselves harder than olympic competitors. Their bottleneck is talent and they attempt to overcome this with drive and determination often against others with similar attributes. Many sink into u

The Shield Android TV has just had a price reduction to 179. After trying Chromeboxes, Chromecasts, and vanilla PC's, it's the closest to streaming nirvana - when it works. The Shield TV runs Kodi as well as any PC. Nvidia's

This is similar to what I have found in poker. The tougher the game, the more steps that the opponents take. What cards do I have (1S), what does my opponent have (2S), what does my opponent think that I have (3S), and what do I think that

Ubiquity's EdgeMax is a reliable, stable, and inexpensive router that I have started to roll out all customers. EdgeOS is a fork and port of Vyatta 6.3 (think Junos) and is under constant development with a great beta program. Their de

Do you have data to support this claim? It would certainly depend on location, but BLS average salary data seems to point otherwise: Plumbers $49K: http://www.bls.gov/ooh/construction-and-extraction/plumbers-...

My family with two teenagers has recently discovered that board games (specifically Dominion) are the most effective and enjoyable means of communication. We have spent over $250 on expansions and accoutrements. It is worth every penny and

The implication (point?) of the research is that older companies (regardless of size) create fewer jobs relative to younger companies. I would disagree with the statement that reducing taxes on profits has absolutely no impact on overall jo

Do you have any evidence to support this? The data that I can find point to a more subtle conclusion that does not fit this oft-repeated statement (myth?). "We find that the relationship between firm size and employment growth is sens

Agreed that it's a positive that existing cables can be used, but a dongle could always be included and thereby have the best of both. Besides, many people already use port savers (actually run savers) because replacing a bent connecto

A frustration that I don't hear mention too often is the mess that is MS software licensing. From my perspective, there is often confusion over what is covered and what it will cost and nobody will answer simple questions. I have been

Another nice feature would be virtual "dual monitors" since the presentation would be in a Chrome window and notes or a calculator could be on the desktop. Perhaps two Chrome instances could cast to separate projectors?

Presentation casting is also a potential game changer for Chromecast. I work in an academic environment and we are forever struggling with accommodating presentation interfaces - HDMI/DVI/VGA/Thuderbolt/etc ad nauseum. T

The biggest upgrade for me is "[that] battery life offers 9 hours of HD playbook and 10 hours of web browsing." I can only manage about 4 hours for my 2012 N7 and it's my biggest complaint for an otherwise perfect tablet.

Imagine if this were a Russian or Chinese story of this magnitude - isn't this how its press would report the story? Wouldn't we be surprised if the press did not focus on the circus of the affair and failings of the accusers rat

Engadget is reporting that Canonical will make a Nexus 7 build available. If so, this will rival the RasPi as a play toy and sandbox. GPU acceleration might be a significant hurdle on the nVidia. http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/19/ubuntu-f
