Looks like someone's discovered the skeletal muscle pump.

"Trump Complains that Fact Checking Silences Conservative Voices"

The report states that AT&T's coverage maps are largely accurate (which is why using their icon in the story headline is ironic).

"No way that is more engaging or interesting than an episode of The Mechanical Universe..."

Being "engaged" and "interested" can help with learning, but the goal of education is to learn how to think, not just to be entertained.

Funny, I can now think of something else that's "not really nice to use on today's Web."

"If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
                -- James Madison (4th US President)

"In the future, the proof of a person's technical skill will be based on their
ability to boot linux on random objects. Those who are able to get a bash
prompt on a toaster oven will be gods that walk among us, constantly harping
on our choice of distribution."

Set and communicate the rules and the consequences for breaking them, monitor compliance, and enforce the consequences if the rules are broken. If you force compliance with technology, your son won't learn what is and isn't appropriate behavior and you won't have the opportunity to build trust. And, believe me, you'll need that trust when he's older.

'developers are the kings of IT and set the agenda for web companies, who in turn, set the agenda for the whole industry,' Dell said."'

Dell further clarified that "We also think developers are so stupid that they'll pay us an extra $50 rather than buy the Windows version, wipe it clean, and install Ubuntu for free."

The only way state outcomes are non-independent is if one state's polls close earlier and the results are announced before another state's polls close. As far as I know, this influence is not part of Nate Silver's estimate.

The reason Nate's estimate is lower (86.3% now) is because his state-level estimates have different degrees of variance, and he runs Monte-Carlo simulations that reflect this (greater variance for a state with a large number of electoral votes is more likely to alter the final outcome).

If you're interested mostly in calling/texting/emailing then a small screen is fine. But web browsing/book reading/video chat/movie watching are *much* better on a larger screen. Some people prefer to split these activities between a smallish (smart)phone and a tablet, but others (including myself) who only want one device prefer a largish smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S3 in my case, with a 4.8" 720p screen).

It's all just a question of which trade-offs are best for you - why complain that other people have different preferences?

There's no denying that Apple's designs have permeated the industry - but that's not what this injunction is about. It's about the ability of a device to have a uniform interface to search multiple databases (implemented by Siri in iOS and by the Google search bar in Android). *This* function predates iPhones/iOS, should not be the basis of a patent, and is not Apple's "intellectual property".

It's based on the "unified database search" function (Siri) because Apple claimed (and the judge accepted without critique) that this is a major reason why people by iPhones, and hence copying it posses a potentially serious threat to sales. Nonsense in every respect, but there it is.
