"Left in a place where I can't write them down or act upon them, I might become frustrated and erratic"
This is strange to me. Why do you need to act on them? Just think, and process, no action should be required. If the thought was strong enough,it will resurface.
"Problem is that it does not help much in the real world."
Did it ever occur to you that not everyone is looking for that? Success is contentment. If your contentment stems from your job, GREAT, but its not for everyone.
You and I have VERY different ideas about practical. A wrist chronometer is a tool, that fact that you prefer another tool to do the job doesn't change that. If you choose to look down your nose at that so be it. Do you think i wear my dedicated SanDisk Clip MP3 player for showing off too? Or maybe its to save battery life on my pocket communicator/reference library. Not everyone is you, labeling a perfectly useful and practical tool an anachronism shows the limits of your imagination. Cellphones are not 'better' chronometers, they are different. My watch has a proven track record, i value THAT in a time tracking tool far more than an extensive list of other things it does.
"Neither are most watches that are actually affordable. Personally I don't really like to brag about the size of my bank account via jewelry but that's just me."
I paid $55 for my Guess brand watch with heavy stainless band FOURTEEN years ago. It has lasted longer than ANY other piece of tech i own with 2 battery changes. A good Chronometer is still a valuable and necessary tool in the Information Age. Get over your 'its like buggy whips' mentality.
You mean people still have need for a wrist mounted Chronometer with a battery life measured in years(or no battery at all)? Yes, yes they do. Its a serious tool, not just a silly bracelet.
DUDE, Win 8 has 2 distinct personalities and they dont talk to each other. If I open OneNote in desktop i get a COMPLETELY different program if i launch it from Start Screen. Each 'instance' isnt aware of the other EXCEPT through OneDrive. Thats insane.
That needs to change. I am TIRED of one set of rules for the individual and another set for interacting with others. If its legal for me to do, its legal for me to share it with others. Anything less puts a HUGE damper on Information Age societies.
Authors have a right to live, they DONT have a right to FORCE licensing on 7 billion people. Copyright is a SOCIAL BARGAIN and copyright maximalists have pushed too far. Its time to push back.
Every college I have been to has fully sworn and deputized Peace Officers. They are REAL police. Now you are correct in that the school police's mandates will be different than the public at large, it doesnt make it better.
A college campus SHOULDN'T have its own police. I have looked at the numbers, college police were a reaction from the 60s violence. In the last 30 years all they do is write tickets for parking and provide an unneeded presence at school.
Lets extend this. You can only bore out the cylinders so much before you have to start looking at a new design or your cylinder walls will be too thin.
I jsut picked up a HP 7", 16 GB jelly bean android tablet WITH 4G radio and SIM for $120. Intel NUCS are $200 with RAM and the OS on flash. Raspberry PI, BeagleBones, Intel Gallileo, Arduinos equipped with SD slots. Put your data on discrete hardware, and have at it.
Postal Service IS broadband information delivery, it just has ridiculous ping times. Never underestimate how much data the USPS can ship. I would argue that USPS STILL ships more data than the internet.
Back in the day, everyone was afraid of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. THAT is why ISPs arent common carriers, yet. That time has passed and they think we forgot about it. We have not.
I have spent considerable time and expense co-locating and properly backing up my personal photographs and other data. I also still burn them to optical disc just to have a copy that isnt on a hard drive. I spent hours discussing on Slashdot what the best practices are. As a HOME user, I am co-located, with offline backups on disparate media. I couldnt imagine running a business without AT LEAST that level of backup.
Thats the hilarious part, MS had the opportunity to have a HUGE lead here, and they squander it with partnering and playing the car manufacturers games.

Humans are animals that require STIMULI, not necessarily people.

Electric Imp's light programming patent (blink up) might shit all over this idea.

There is nothing wrong with plaintext ebooks. They are as useful and powerful as their physical counterparts.

Well put.

SERIOUSLY??? Troll? I would LOVE to see you use the entire function set of an iphone 5 on a 4s. Apple fragments more elegantly, but they DO fragment.
What sucks is I have 3G service form Verizon, so i cant exploit this at all. It only applies to 4G spectrum.
Delivery companies should be absolutely forbidden by law to provide content. There is no public good reason to allow it at all.

Daily postal service to all citizens is the mark of an advanced society. I dont care how much money it loses, its necessary and dont fuck with it.

Go ahead excuse morons, but I wont.
