I like this idea a lot. I read with some trepidation, but your closing paragraphs make a lot of sense. The written journal thing could make a nice parallel to the ones Rey snagged from Luke’s exile pad on Ahch-To.

Yeah, I use Duet almost every day.

Yeah, this has been my experience, too. I love using my iPad Mini as a second screen, but until Duet came around with the cable option, I’d found the wifi apps too undependable, especially at cafes and libraries.

I'm just registering another vote for FBreader.

Thank you for this.

Yeah, the ability alone to remove shadows in Tranquility makes it a solid improvement on the built-in color-invert tool in Mavericks. Now to watch Nosferatu in Tranquility mode ...

I use the same. Super inexpensive, readily available at Walgreen's. I buy them by the bushel. My general theory of these notebooks is they're so inexpensive, I never think twice about whether or not to note something down.

These are the results of a project over the weekend in which 16 musicians took those three notes that constitute the Xbox One startup sound and then proceeded to make original songs out of them: "Songs in the Key of Xbox One" (disquiet.gizmodo.com).

Footage of Robert Fripp at a recording session for the Windows Vista music:

"John Loves Dejah." Or so said the button I wore on my jacket in junior high.

These monthly guides are helpful, but could you use icons instead of (or in addition to) colors to distinguish categories? A little DVD, a little book, a little 20-sided die?

Yeah, what @Mattizzle said: Taj Mahal is anything but "unknown."

And support for both USB and Bluetooth external keyboards. C'mon — my Palm had this, like, a dozen years ago.

This thing's been fully vetted? The warning says that the Touch tool can collect input typed while using it.

Very helpful — just wondering about a tool that also makes the "small"

Definitely Internet Download Manager — that thing can suck files from anywhere. It's incredibly useful. If there's something better (I use it on Vista and XP), please let me know.
