I've always wanted focus-follows-eyes as an option in X. Sort of like focus-follows-mouse, but without me having to move the mouse.

Of course, having never used it (cuz it doesn't exist), I can't say if I'd like it or not.

Why is this rated a troll?? Are the producers of Idiocracy mods now? The post was well thought out and reasoned. quite the opposite of "troll"-like.

OK, that was actually quite funny... Shouldn't be modded flamebait.

I know that you enfatically said "I disagree." (twice), but I'm not sure that you really do.

He said:

"Someone out there with a better idea will raise a bunch of money, give it away for free, build scale and charge less to reach the audience."

You said:

"The only way a new product will ever dislodge a entrenched rival is when they offer something unique and compelling or are readily interchangeble with the old one."

Sounds like the market forces that he describes are part of this "new economy" where huge amounts of venture capital can be raised and thrown away trying to create the "next big thing". The next big thing in almost all cases improves on what has came before, just as you said "something unique and compelling".

Overall, I think the article is a good one, and his point is pretty accurate. I don't think it's revolutionary, but there are some ideas in there that I have never thought about in quite the way that he is going into.

I have found over my years that you will burn out if you don't take breaks. For me taking at least one break a day and devoting that break to walking is a great way to keep your metabolism functioning. Sure, you won't drain the calories by simply walking, but you will burn a few, and you will have the bonuses of keeping your legs moving and helping your mind clear itself and refocus.

Combine that with the other suggestions about regular aerobic exercise (at least 3 times a week) and healthy lifetime eating habits (cut out all regularly consumed sugar drinks for one!!), and you will slowly see pounds drop.

There is simply no other way to do this in a healthy manner... don't procrastinate start today! All those stupid motivational slogans are right. You have to be the one to take action for your life.

"Game-changer". I have heard that way to much recently... starting to grate on my nerves. It's the 1990's "paradigm shift".
