I thought everyone remapped caps lock to control anyway, but maybe I'm in a vocal minority here? I can't stand it any other way, and it feels much more ergonomical. Do yourself the favor of trying it for a while.

You'll be happy to hear that the X1 Carbon has a new trackpad, which has been described by Notebookreview as "Oh my! Best touchpad surface ... ever!". The gizmodo reviewer: "Using the trackpad, was the first time I've ever done multitouch gestures on Windows and liked it."

As both a Linux and Mac user, I'm happy a PC manufacturer is finally getting it.

It seems amazing what you can find time for, I'm inspired. I'd be very curious to see it quantified in a schedule of your typical (or any) week, to see how it all fits together.

I just downloaded the latest beta and I'm really quite impressed. Everything seems way faster (or at least more responsive), scrolling is far smoother than it ever was before, and the new UI seems great so far.

Some changes I noticed just now while browsing HN:

- Double tapping now seems to cycle through 3 zoom levels

- Article/body text is automatically recognized and set to a readable size

- Comment links are much harder to hit, my taps seem to always hit the article links unless I pinch-to-zoom in very close

I don't see how this is selling out. Something kids care about is being used to promote math and science (and perhaps even help them understand it, in the case of gravity). He even says, quite directly, "learn math and science and get a neat job, like me" (or something to that effect). I can't help but see this as a good thing.

Especially when this is a physics based videogame where you learn to explore different solutions, test and refine your hypothesis, assess the stability of structures ... Not too bad in itself.

Also, he seems to have a really stuffy nose. Is that a zero gravity thing?

The broken data is probably because this is a test site, as can be inferred from the hostname (test.visualize.yahoo.com). The main site (visualize.yahoo.com) only has the mail visualization.

It's hardly impossible. You'll need to hold down a job (which provides a work visa) for seven years, don't be convicted of a criminal offence, and attend 300 hours of tuition in the Norwegian language or have documented sufficient skills in Norwegian or Saami. Only 20% of applications are rejected, and most were rejected for failing to meet those conditions.

Feel free to come on over. There's a shortage of good engineers in Norway just as there is everywhere else. You could even work for a US company, as I do. http://jobs.yahoo.no/page/work/jobopenings

You might be able to get a thousand clicks, but I can't imagine that a random visitor would keep the page open for very long. But there's no reason for it to look like a hacking tool. By embedding some sticky content, such as a html5/flash game, with the DDOS script running in the background, you'll quickly multiply the impact.
