Submission + - Microsoft Develops Analog Keyboard For Wearables, Solves Small Display Dilemma (hothardware.com)

Submitted by MojoKid
MojoKid writes: Have you ever tried hunting and pecking on a miniature keyboard that's been crammed onto a smartwatch's tiny display? Unless the tips of your fingers somehow resemble that of a stylus, you're in for a challenge. Interestingly enough, it's Microsoft that might have the most logical solution for typing on small size displays running Google's Android Wear platform. Microsoft's research division has built an analog keyboard prototype for Android Wear that eliminates the need to tap at tiny letters, and instead has you write them out. On the surface, such a solution seems like you'd be trading one tedious task for another, though a demo of the technology in action shows that this could be a promising solution — watch how fast the guy in the video is able to hammer out a response.

Submission + - ChromeOS will no longer support ext2/3/4 on external drives/SD cards

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: Chrome OS is based on the Linux kernel and designed by Google to work with web applications and installed applications. Chromebook is one of the selling laptopn on Amazon. However, devs decided to drop support for ext2/3/4 on external drivers and SD card. It seems that ChromiumOS developers can't implement a script or feature to relabel EXT volumes in the left nav that is insertable and has RW privileges using Files.app. Given that this is the main filesystem in Linux, and is thereby automatically well supported by anything that leverages Linux, this choice makes absolutely no sense. Google may want to drop support for external storage and push the cloud storage on everyone. Overall Linux users and community members are not happy at all.

For a bonus I wanted the left and right columns to collapse if the screen got too narrow (smartphone). This turned out to be...challenging in CSS.

@media selectors are your friend here. You can supply one layout for a smaller, and a different layoutfor everyone else. Check out how I did it by viewing the source of FrillerWorks.com. You'll want to be looking at the link tags under the head.

One good reason why computers can do more work than people is that they never have to stop and answer the phone.
