I rocked the IIe but wanted a IIgs like no other. I'd 'visit' it at our local 'Apple store' before the Apple store (It was Tokamac in Palo Alto if I remember correctly and I may not). I also collected an Amiga A500 and an Atari 1040st. Love. Those. Times.
Very good story that is well written. Interesting path that Kitna decided on when he could have gone one thousand other ways that were far easier. I am certain I would not have made the same type of choice. Once again, great article.
Very well written piece that reminded just what the article intended. It amazed me that the Occupy 'movement' has already faded into the echoes of our society; that is my take and reality since I was not there nor directly involved. Once again, this was an excellent retelling and I for one appreciate it.
Indeed. XP and IE6 are tired in the enterprise but, they are paid for, they work and apparently, we fear change. Those are the big three that I hear on a weekly basis from management. At this point, if Windows 8 was super enterprise friendly and completely free, we still wouldn't budge I am sure.
That is where my thoughts are as well - business customers make a large mind share that I cannot imagine that they would ignore. I am hoping that Windows 8 as it is right now is the foundation for a more enterprise friendly set up. Please notice 'hoping' - I am equally prepared to not be surprised if this is it so to speak. Can't imagine that but hey, stranger things have happened.
I have been curious as to why there were not more Skylanders type hardware games in existence? Not sure I would choose NFC as the link though it will be interesting to see and hopefully lead to others. NFC table top gaming could be a thing. NFC enabled mech with a little AR sprinkled on top? Please?
Interesting read with some good links. I must confess that I read this headline initially as Freakonomics as An Alternative to Democracy. I clicked through to see what that would have been about. Could have been good times.
My idea of non-distracted driving is fairly simple - just driving and that is all. A 'old timey' roadster with no radio even would be interesting. Just driving.
Same old story as it is read on the linked site - opinions galore (like mine here of course). Article was not really my cup of joe as nearly all the arguments were speculative to say the least.
Great write down with lots of good ideas. I too use a notebook to jot down whatever enters my mind. Tried evernote for the same purpose but it didn't stick as well as pen and paper. I also include trying new and different things that are outside my norm; that takes some serious effort sometimes.
I've used Tomato.es for quite some time now (relatively speaking) and have found it 'better' for my flow than pen and paper/mechanical timer (though I have one as well).
Not seeing this as link bait at all - more method for than what was being learned. Great read that gives a lot of interesting insights and methods - definitely not for everyone. A lot of the same information and ideas have been discussed on Study Hacks though it is great to see the provided examples.
Jacksonville, FL store is not on the affected list though this does explain the sudden removal of all their card readers with no explanation given. I can find no mention of method of attack - must be fairly well thought out to affect so many stores over a wide area.
Great read and for myself, someone who is not part of the medical community though who is a father of a daughter, I can imagine the professional and personal frustration that must have been felt. Thanks for the write up - could not have been easy (even clinically) to put together.
This entire situation is the foundation of my reluctance to completely shift to 'online media'. I have always understood that I would be leasing the media and that it could be terminated for cause just as the article related. Rough stuff.
