When I first saw that logo, I was kinda taken aback... it makes sense for the "windows" logo to actually look like a window... but I thought I had seen that logo before.... and I had. Microsoft vs Jesus, commence.

Dragon Dictation is the best transcription app... just make sure you're at the very front of the class. Don't know if they do recording transcription though.

I use the Awesome New Tab Page Chrome Extension. It's pretty, well, awesome. But most of my navigation is use of bookmarks on the bookmarks bar without words (i.e. just icons)

"Drill for oil? You mean drill into the ground to try and find oil? You're crazy." — Response to Edwin L. Drake in 1859.

I will totally and unabashedly second this. As a father of 2 kindergartners, there's no point in trying to buy coloring books of things my children like - after all, they're only going to like them for a week. This week, Spiderman and My Little Pony; Next week, Angry Birds and Team UmiZoomi.

Exactly. There will undoubtably be $500 and sub-$500 Surfaces in the near future. But right now there's the IT-Department-Cringing iPad and full laptops for commercial and business users. A Full-Windows Tablet with today's technology simply doesn't exist, and the entire corporate world has been begging for something…

They call it "Surface", because the original Microsoft Wonder-device has always been called Surface. It started with the idea that Microsoft would turn every part of your living room - every surface - into an interactive computer. They started with smart-board-esque projection computers, them moved on to the…

"People want to give us money to watch our content, and we told them no. Now, for some reason, they're stealing it. Pirates!!!"

I believe the main reason they left it off of the original Kindle is so you wouldn't feel like you were 'losing' something when they introduced the Special-Offers Kindle.

These aren't former anachronisms from earlier versions of twitter... they're "twitter".

I really enjoy these in concept but there's a small problem in the execution- I'm a Floridian. It's hot, all the time. Adding an extra layer just is not a good idea, no matter how useful something is.

Yes, they're ugly. But remember, we had smartphones long before RIM made them pretty, and Apple made them prettier.

I've found, if you care about content, you use RSS. I had used, fallen away from it.... until the Gawker redesign made Lifehacker, io9 and Gizmodo completely hideous. Then I jumped back in.

Heck yes. I want this. The frames will change. Heck, we're inventing new types of frames today, and eyeglasses were invented in 1286. Hells yeah. I'm up for looking dumb for a prototype of the future.

Yeah, this is fantastic. I'd watch it. I'd make my kids watch it.

The entire ebook trilogy is available for free on the Amazon Lending Library if you have Amazon Prime. It's also popular & old enough to be found in most libraries

You know, I was just thinking about this. Not this precisely, but close.

Anyone else wish there was an option of a fireproof shirt on there?

I can't use Fibonacci, or any type of active thought. Even something as simple as "watching the shadow from the flickering modem" can keep me awake.

I use a form of weaving that a sound tech taught me years ago called "Daisy Chaining" that people now use for paracord creations. It turns the headphone cord into a weave about the diameter of my wrist. To turn it back into headphones, just yank on it, and the weave falls apart. I can weave it back fairly quickly, and…
