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 "sometimes they lose their way" was filled w

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 something with it. Unfortunately, the Quicken name is now so

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 important as anything Steve Jobs ever did at Apple.

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 enough difference where I'll notice it

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 amount of time I spend at the desk, ~$600 wasn'

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 modern university has bowed to their corporate overlords

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 outside of the departments. We should likely spend more time

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 their management stack doesn't care. This should

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 I am quite loyal to REI - often

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 connectivity to my phone is enough. I don't need

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 cost of living - sort of cities poised for a

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 watching videos of people building stuff with my kids. Mor

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 OSs across a small business. When they need a ne

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 have little to no visibility into this. And, even a smaller

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 dealer IT personnel. I'm also curious about the size

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 failed to impress me with their service

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 something amazing for the first time. I'm sure their day-

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 positioned to really expand the technology in any me

Can we really call this new technology? I get it that it's a new iteration of eInk technology, but it doesn't seem that Sony is really taking advantage of any of the advances with this implementation. As much as I really want to

A device like this has such awesome potential, but I am so underwhelmed by Sony's execution. $1000 +, closed to common eReader document types and no path to openness for developers. Add in Sony's miserable record for supporting th

If you ask any soldier who's been in Iraq or Afghanistan what their favorite sound is, everyone will answer that it's the Warthog providing air support. It's provided welcome relief the world over. It's a shame that it&

Corrupt governments' greatest nightmare is transparency. It's amazing that these documents were discarded so carelessly. That alone probably says a lot about the competency of the Yanukovych government at large. Good luck and God

And this is why we can't have nice things. We wonder why we have such problems getting girls interested in coding?
