The media acts as if using smartphones has put new, unheard of strains on our necks because of all the looking down. Excuse me - what about someone who chops vegetables in a kitchen all day, or draws for a living? Are these people notorious for having spinal injuries?

Pretty crazy stuff. I use Buffer (awesome) to schedule Tweets for my business and I had always seen those charts of Tweet frequency by hour and figured that the best time for me to schedule my Tweets would be between 12-1pm and then between 5-7pm. It didn’t occur to me that perhaps the times of heaviest Tweeting…

I’m not confusing anything. Technology is a marriage of science and capitalism. Science has the ideas, capitalism brings them to life and puts them on shelves at a price people can afford. Yes basic education is needed in order to create the kind of minds that innovate, but you are seriously exaggerating the necessity…

“Generating infrastructure” via taxes is a horribly inefficient way to do something which the private sector could do far more efficiently. And I see you have no idea why investment bankers are so crucial to the economy.

Back in the hedonistic rave days of the early 90’s we did a lot of drugs (E, speed, acid) and combined this with staying up for 2 or more days at a time (our longest bender was 4 consecutive nights with no sleep). The day after a night of drugs would freak me out a little - the confusion, the anxiety, the crossed…

I’m old enough to remember the personal computer revolution in the late 70’s/early 80’s, and back then it was very popular in socialist circles to claim that computers were going to create mass unemployment. My teachers at school drummed this into us on a daily basis. Of course it turned out to be complete horseshit.

For me, less time in the gym has resulted in fewer injuries of the kind that keep me away from the gym. I used to lift weights for 2 hours to the point where I’d strain my neck, develop rotator cuff problems, back problems, tennis elbow etc. And I’d have to skip the gym for weeks at a time, thereby undoing any…

I miss when games looked like this :(

I’m not overvaluing the contribution of entrepreneurs and innovators at all. They are the ones with the ideas and the capital to make it happen. Put 1000 laborers in an empty field and tell them to make an internal combustion engine. What do you think will happen? The mind of the individual is behind every…

OK then, give a million people a dollar and remove all of the evil capitalists who innovate and manufacture and invest and make things available in bulk at cheap prices. What they gonna spend those dollars on? Nobody is saying that the masses are unnecessary for economic success. But to discount the benefit to the…

That was my first thought too. I’ve lived in the East Village for coming on 12 years and I’ve seen horrible, shallow, entitled brats like this infest the place over the last few years. The brunch crowd. Absolutely no self awareness at all. That dog is nothing more than an accessory to her. I loathe and despise people…

What you’re forgetting is this. The amount of money which can be paid out as compensation for this tragedy is a finite sum. Anything these two scumbags get will ultimately leave less for everyone else. And we’re talking about people who lost loved ones, their homes, their pets, everything they own. One poor guy, an…

Heh heh...smoke...meat....

I can't help thinking that just not sending them an invitation would have achieved the same net result.

Give this doctor a call on

Thousands have. Logitech will replace them straight away if you still have the receipt because they are aware of the issue (but not so aware that they'll actually fix it by, you know, using better switches and stuff). They actually screwed up and sent me TWO replacement mice, and guess what? The first one started…

To be honest I've heard about people going to this much trouble and my thoughts are "screw Logitech, they should give me another mouse." I think you have a 2yr warranty - and Logitech KNOW about the phantom click problem because I emailed them one time and the guy admitted they they replace shit loads of mice. He…

I'd like to see a doable project to fix the godforsaken "phantom double click" problem with Logitech mice. I've been through 3 Anywhere MX models which have all developed the problem after 4-6 months and it drives me crazy because it is, aside from that, the most perfect mouse I have ever used. And it's not just me,…

My own personal experience has been that high intensity interval training shifts weight more than anything else. I had real trouble shifting a few stubborn pounds when I was spending 90 minutes a day in the "fat burning zone," as soon as I switched my workout to 20-30 mins of intervals, the weight just flew off. It…

True, but I didn't have that level of energy until I started eating a mostly raw diet.
