What was the final resolution of your "bear-bylon 5" teddy bear duel with Peter David?
What would you say are the most valuable things you took away from your experience as creator/head writer of "Babylon 5"? In particular, the effort to create a single, long-running storyline over five seasons? Do you think you could have done things differently to avoid the issues with actors leaving mid-show and the network threatening to cancel the final season?
All of those heat generating components also require a cooling fan, and this one gets humming pretty early on—it's the only tablet we've reviewed where fan noise is a concern.
I was wondering about that. Not sure if this is an advantage or a reason NOT to buy it, though.
...but fortunately, I have complete legal ownership due to the grandfather clause.
I tried Feedly for a few minutes, but it felt like it was trying to prioritize and reorganize my news stories automatically for me and the design was awful for simply reading stuff. And it required simply too many clicks to read slashdot since I had to expand the whole summary for each item myself and even mark items as read manually. Not going back.
I'm giving Feedly a try starting today, and I think you probably have the same reaction I did: It's NOT EXACTLY THE SAME AS GREADER. But it's learnable, and it's customizable.
Keyboard shortcuts exist, but they're all different than GReader, and that takes some getting used to.
If you like GReader's compact title-only view, that's an option -- but you can also show everything by default, which is preferable if you have a folder of comics feeds like I do.
I think Feedly has two big points in its favor, though: it can sync ONCE to GReader to download your feeds (including what articles you've already read), and it's cross-browser and cross-platform with its own mobile apps. (Plus it's ad-supported, which means they have a revenue stream to keep them going in the future.)
Iran has been VERY good at making the West look like the bad guys in this, and every other, disagreement. Basically, it's extremely hard to know whether Iran is actually actually hiding a nuclear weapons program, or whether they're just making it look like they're hiding a nuclear weapons program. It's quite possible they're doing both. Lord Vetinari would applaud.
The good news is that Israel probably has a better idea than the IAEA as to when Iran will actually be able to launch a nuclear weapon, and Israel will keep that information close to their chest as well.
In the end, it's all just posturing for more respect from other nations. Iran isn't reckless enough to actually do anything that would end in the entire Western world declaring war on them in response.
I think the news isn't that China has an unofficial hacking department, but that someone's managed to narrow down exactly where they work from. This makes it difficult for China to claim that the hackers are private individuals or non-government businesses.
You're assuming Opera is a browser developers actually worry about. At less than 2% market share, Opera actually concerns me as a developer less than IE7 on typical projects.
Voting for both QC and http://girlswithslingshots.com/ as my favorite non-geek strips.
And why are they suddenly so powerful?
Sums it up nicely. Using a tablet for professional work is like using a minivan to move your furniture. Perhaps it does the job, but you'll always get things done faster and better with tools designed for the task.
