Got my first computer when I was 15. It was an assembled Windows PC with 64MB RAM and 10 GB hard disk space. Amazing feeling.

Conciseness interferes with style. But in formal writing such as research papers and company emails, you're better off writing like everyone else. Your choices of what to keep or eliminate do form a fingerprint of your writing. We subconsciously edit in a certain style. That itself might signal the writer's identity…

One small tip from William Zinsser – He wrote "On Writing Well". Use parentheses to highlight unnecessary words instead of crossing them out. It becomes easier to read the before and after versions of a sentence.

Slow shutter cam is still $0.99

I once had a sony walkman mp3 player. Tiny as hell, and had a great output. Also had smooth drag and drop functionality, so worked as a data storage.

I see what you mean. Testing a person against him/herself is the best control. This does however require the study to be longitudinal (over time, with periodic monitoring). That runs the risk of changes of life-phases, which might corrupt the data; for example: a man with a job and a family might turn 45 and realize…

I completely agree. I had an unlimited plan for two years, and ended up going over 200 MB only twice. For some of that time, all AT&T had was an unlimited plan, so I don't beat myself up too much. Most people are best served with a 200-MB plan; few need 2 GB, and fewer still need unlimited. People are so worried about…

This might not be the answer you're looking for, but my girlfriend and I share URLs of whatever we wanna watch, and then countdown to 0 to press play. Works great with netflix or any other online video source.

Did they control for the fact that people who are depressed with their lives might tend to medicate it by drowning themselves in work? That would lead us to the old correlation-causation debate.

In the fourth line from the bottom, I think you mean 'elicit', not 'illicit'

What abt the fact that the device has to be powered during the sync? Isn't that a little annoying? Wifi sync gives me convenience of not plugging into my laptop but at the cost of powering it with a wall unit charger or the laptop itself. Seems a little counter-intuitive to me, unless I'm missing something.

Have heard this before. It does make a good point. People somehow blame themselves less for poor inactions than poor actions. So, they stick to something even when the opportunity cost they're paying is too high. By quitting something when there's no clear path ahead, we might expose ourselves to good ideas for what…

I was always a fan of streaming. I couldn't afford the 3-DVDs at a time plan and was sick of waiting for my 1-DVD to arrive in the mail. I hope Netflix increases the availability of content on streaming. Right now, it's not that high. Everytime I think of a movie that I really like and wanna see, it winds up being on…
