The biggest pain is having to rely upon third party tools to try and shrink the size of a Windows install. Why not move so many of the bullshit folders into the cloud instead? That way User information can be kept protected and not uploaded, and since every Windows install has the same bullshit folders taking up extra space, why not leave them in the cloud til needed?

Crazy to need external storage to perform a Windows update when it should do everything to shrink itself first before requiring users to move files. I had to work to find spare space on a Surface device when it was trying to update, which had practically nothing on it.

(Which is why it's my only Windows device in the house - well besides VM's of course...)

KiCad has an excellent Eagle import tool.

I use Altium in my day to day work, and used Eagle in my personal projects for a couple of years. Coming back to start doing some personal projects again, I decided to switch to something that better aligned with my workflow AND principles. KiCad satisfies this, and the upcoming version 5 is looking very very good.

I continue to be confused why all these Open Hardware projects are using Eagle: a closed source badly designed tool, that has also moved to a terrible subscription model after being purchased by Autodesk.

I believe many businesses require better administration, or at least better processes.

Full disclosure: I have two degrees(bachelors and masters) in engineering, a science degree, and am just about to finish my MBA.

The MBA has been invaluable in learning how to get better efficiency in the company where I work. Optimizing manufacturing processes, market based design and research, and even focusing on products with the most margin in our business operations have made tangible differences in a business that has been mostly run by technical people rather than with business education. There are many things taught in the MBA that should have been taught to engineers to help them focus on what's really important when making real world engineering decisions.

There are so many optimizations and improvements that can be made in businesses that make them more profitable AND more sustainable which makes them more likely to survive when things get tough.

The most valuable lesson I have gained from my MBA is learning how to better communicate in the languages of the various divisions in business. I've really enjoyed learning how to "create value" and "connect resources with needs". Especially as my MBA focused on design thinking and this has been a great process to combine with the analytical processes developed through a science and engineering education. I have come to view my MBA as a form of "business engineering" where the movement of people, processes and money are the important elements of building better businesses.

Best. Troll. Ever.

You know nothing about statistics, yet want to tell us how it is a phony science?

You couldn't have taken a few minutes on wolfram, or even wikipedia to even TRY to know a little of what you are talking about?

Yes, I do think you are a lunatic.

I love that it has a Linux based operating system. The hardware looks kinda nice.

But it's coming into an already crowded market. Competing with the iphone is not going to be easy. At least the iphone comes from a background of an integrated product line. Ie Buy MacBook for computer, Ipod for music, Iphone for telecoms.

Palm doesn't have that. It's got a proprietary version of the operating system. Only runs on one(maybe two with Pixie) piece of hardware, and is competing with very well established lines of smart phones and feature phones(ie anything with S60, WinMo, Blackberry etc)

If Palm had released it 5 years ago(or maybe when it bought BeOS), I would care a lot more.

Android is my bet, as I should be able to concentrate on hardware upgrades, and not having to learn another crappy software interface. I want a good operating system that works on multiple hardware platforms-and not WinMo(I said "good" :P )
