I can usually activate Google Now from a few feet away on my Moto X (2013) but it can't understand what I'm asking after that. I have to get much closer for it to work.

I also work on a payroll system (Rails/postgresql) based that's used for internal company use with hundreds of employees and multiple states. The hardest part is the taxes and benefits that's handled by external vendors.

It works great for the Win8 'Apps', but not regular windows applications (Firefox, Adobe, etc) for my setup. Probably something taking over my shortcuts.

I've also been trying to connect a few times tonight. No luck over the last 3-4 hours. I have a migration scheduled in a couple of days and this is getting scary. The 7th is the last day for migrations and these attacks are making it

I also use this add-on. While FF has the options too, the add-on allows me to easily access all the features and see all the details that I want to see. The most important feature is that it's easy and quick.

A watch is good for utility and fashion/status symbol, however I would argue that a smart phone is not remotely on the same level as a watch. An iPhone or any phone isn't going to make statement compared to an IWC or Patek or most watches.

I have the Thinkpad X22, X40, T40, T60p, X61t. After the X61t, I saw nothing remotely compelling from their Thinkpad line.

I think the high point of the Thinkpad line was around the T61/X61t. They were fast, durable and had nice high resolution display. I was desperately waiting for an update to my X61t w/ 1400x1050 display and no such option come from them an

From my understanding and observations when I visited Japan for a couple of weeks, Japanese people don't eat/drink/smoke while walking. Even for outside vendors, they will eat it on a nearby bench or stand and eat it before moving again. I

There are a couple of recent Atom based Windows 8 tablets with Wacom. They're much lighter and thinner than the Surface Pro, but it also trades away CPU power for it. Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 2. Dell Latitude 10

I also enjoyed the review. A lot of reviews on devices with a stylus, especially wacom enabled devices, never really go into any detail about the feature. It's generally glossed over with short paragraph about how it works fine and their

I wish it was more affordable too. I believe it was only $100 a couple of years ago. That was almost OK as a price to try it out, but the current pricing puts it out of my range for now.

Where is the 8GB RAM version? Or the version with 256GB SSD? I would have instantly splurged for 8GB, but old articles were wrong about it existing. It's a great machine, but I want to be able to run applications that take more than 4GB.

They may have an exclusive contract with the company for that position, for a certain period of time. Or maybe the company name (or contact details) is NOT part of what they will expose to the candidate.

If you are having trouble installing on phone, try using iTune to search for it, then download it and sync it to the phone.

I have my X61t, with 1400x1050 res 12" display, hooked up to my HP IPS 24" 1920x1200 res display. It's a good combo for portable (yet usable res for real work) and then even better when it's docked at home.

The greatest strength of the landline is that fact that it will still be up during a power outage. (Just make sure to use a corded phone, cordless uses power.)

I had similar experiences. Some brokers don't really put much effort with rental and showed whatever they had. One broker 'forgot' our scheduled viewing since he was out in the Hamptons showing a house. I did find a nice apartment with go

My 25 lumen 800x600 res pico projector does just fine when I close my shades. Of course you can't expect that 2500 lumens much against the power of the sun..

" But 2 Bros. has a security camera. Winding back to the night in question, the night of the sudden 21-cent price drop, a manager found frames that showed the front of the two stores. And there it was: Bombay/6 Ave. Pizza’s 79-cent sign whe

Fresh out of the oven is also a factor for choosing a place. Who wants pizza that has been sitting around for a while. The pizzas at pizza shops like 2 bros pizza are fresh during high volume times. Usually only 0-5 minutes fresh out of t

I agree. Even with my nice sound isolating earbuds (Shure), it doesn't block out all the external sounds unless I set the volume higher than I would like. While playing music on headphones can help block out conversations, it is still a dis

In my experience, the developers should NOT be taking customer calls. Once a client knows that a developer will take calls, they will take advantage of it and try to get in new features and changes. There should be a layer between develope

It is relevant since movement from their hands/body can change the outcome. With a tripod there would be no blur, but the picture quality would still shine through. The amount of noise difference in each phone's photos is very noticeable.

It's awesome that you lived on a boat and only paid $300/month on marina fees. How much did the boat cost?

My experience is that the cover letter was beneficial to getting an interview. In the cover letter I am able to demonstrate that I know about their company and that my skills/experience are a good fit for their position. I know this was us
