The only thing that really bothers me about the calendar is what happens when you scroll... seriously, scrolling in monthly view is crazy. Also that it displays everyone's birthday... Otherwise I don't mind it, though I barely use a calendar anyway.

A fair point. What made it an (easier) transition for me was simply that my most important email is one that I own. Originally it was set up to work through a gmail account, but I recently switched it to work through Outlook.com instead. That said, I still keep my various accounts (gmail included) and use them for…

Microsoft really did a great job with Outlook. I hated hotmail, but now I have moved over to using Outlook over Gmail for the most part.

Having just walked out of the subway in Berlin, this would be a really cool game to play. They just need to make sure they have enough of the lines blocked off due to construction to make it realistic.

Agreed. This all looks so delicious. About to leave for lunch, too... Pretty sure the top image is soba noodles — would love a giant pile of them right now.

CTR? And I found MK64 to be way better than the SNES version. It and Super Smash Bros made the N64 the most used console on my Freshman Hall at University (this being around the time Halo 3 came out).

I honestly would be more excited for a well-made kart racer than I ever was for any of the other angry bird games. Mario Kart 64 still stands (in my book) as one of the greatest quick-play, multiplayer games ever. It was simple, but had a lot of depth to it if you played enough to figure out its little tricks.

As I understand it (and as a quick search still seems to support), yes, you will have to reinstall everything. It is basically a clean install rather than a true upgrade.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by "update". You can go from using the preview to using the full version of 8.1, but in doing so you will lose your downloaded programs.

Yes, if you installed the Preview, updating the the full version will mean you will lose all installed apps. I am pretty sure you can keep your personal files, however.

This is why I like reading comments on io9.

This was my thought, too. I want this movie to be good, but the movement was just completely unbelievable.

I also bought this stylus shortly after getting a tablet. Sadly Windows 8 still has a lack of great drawing apps (would love to see Paper come to the platform). Still, it is a pretty good stylus.

Interesting to know. I am luckily in an industry that is unlikely to demand anything specific (I could probably send my resume on the back of a video game cartridge and they would love it). It would be a pain for me to create a Doc version of mine having created it in illustrator... Probably shot myself in the foot…

I think most CV's are fine in this sense, but it bears checking sometimes. Not only that, but it may be a good idea to strip your resume yourself and take a look at the focused content — helps with finding errors.

Having just had an interview last week as I start looking for a new position and currently working for a company that builds recruiting software, I recently retooled my resume with a few things in mind. One thing is that often, despite what work you do on your resume's design, they often just get parsed and read as…

I think, at least in Berlin, it has a great deal more to do with the age of the buildings in which most people live. These buildings were often built before central AC was really a thing to design for.

Eh, I forgot that they were listed there. But truly it is because of the cost. I looked into these previously and none of the ones that seemed like they would help (based on reviews, etc) were at all reasonably priced — which the article also indicates.

Have you never been hot and sweating and wanted to not be hot and sweating?

Thanks for the link. I am sure I read this some time ago, but that was before I ever needed it... Will definitely look into this.
