God yes, threaded tabs is vital. I don't really like Chrome, but I find myself switching to it every time a wacky javascript or badly behaved flash object gets past the filters and takes out a swath of windows.
If I'm working on something in particular, I rip off one of the tabs into a new window and move the related ones into that window. I also group them along the top by relatedness(they tend to cluster anyway when opening a new tab).
Then I usually put them in order by the last time I looked at them. If anything on the far side is older than a few days, I make a new bookmark folder and drag those tabs into it, as it is no longer "short term", and revisit it later.
That gives me enough spatial memory so that If I hover over one tab, its title lets me roughly where all the other pages are. It'd be nice if I could color the tabs.
Even then, I don't think anyone should be liable. I know people in the print ad business and they always get people wanting to buy ads next to other companies' ads.
If your yellowpages had an index listing for Xerox, every other copier company would buy an ad on that page to take advantage of it. It is legal and Xerox can't sue the publisher or the other companies. A Ford dealership can't sue the city for allowing a Toyata dealership to open up around the corner.
People take advantage of proximity to increase business. That's why shopping complexes exist, even if the individual businesses are competitors. This is just the internet version.
Agreed, given the bandwidth of USB, it can't do a good frame rate at any decent resolution without sacrificing color depth, but it is plenty for office work.
After upgrading the last office holdouts to LCDs, I saw a Tritton widget on clearance. It did 1600x1200 @ 60hz, could go larger with a drop in frame rate or color depth, but I was only replacing 17" CRTs. It was an easy way to get some more screens on my desk:)
These look to be a bit better. Hopefully run cooler, mine gets rather toasty.

The electronic edition of your book is only $10 less than the paper version, is your publisher a moron? Get your electronic rights back, put it up on amazon yourself, charge your royalty rate+fees(or more, assuming your publisher is screwing you like most authors) and sales will increase.
Take a note from other textbooks and put out a new version and fix some of those glaring typos your editor missed.
Write on a topic relevant to people with money/expense accounts.
Write a new book and stop expecting some work you did a decade ago to keep bringing in money.
is not inciting a panic, even if everyone panics. You can get charged for shouting "fire" if there is no fire. If there really is a fire, you should not be charged even if there is a stampede and someone gets crushed.
On the other hand, if the government has already killed 2 people, one quite obviously because of what he was saying, I wouldn't be doing anything that might land me in jail.
That's a good way to "accidentally" shoot yourself in the back, jump off your cell's balcony, shoot yourself again with a different gun, and then trip into a wood chipper.
The book file has to be redownloaded. But you can take all of your book files and archive them to a computer before turning on the cell connection, just in case.
If book publishers start acting like software publishers, you can always just skip to pirating the books, this doesn't affect user added files(with or without paying, depending on the color of your hat).
Except a store is private property. And if the store has a no photography policy, and the ATM company has industrial secrets or something, then they can have the picture confiscated, and the police would need to take the person in to custody to ensure no copies of the picture were created.
.
No, they can't. A store may not legally confiscate your photos. They can ask you to leave, they can sue you to prevent you publishing the photos, but they can not prevent you from taking them nor confiscate them afterwards without a court order.
Confiscating is either theft or conversion, threatening to do so is coercion. A law officer may take custody of your possesions when effecting an arrest, but may not confiscate your film without a court order.
Oprah/KFC were offering coupons for free chicken. They outsourced it to some online coupon site that requires you to install software so they can give each printout a unique barcode and limit the qty printed.
It might not actually be malware, but I mistrust it on principle.
It didn't help that many locations were not prepared for the response, similar to the Popeye chicken shortage.
Really, is a blog in this case that much different than somebody handing out pamphlets near the courthouse? (other than geographical availability) If the newspaper had found out the fact from an intern with a law hobby instead of a blog, would much have changed?
This is just another facet on "how can/should judges be influenced", which has been discussed for quite some time. The only really new part is that obscure facts are less likely to fall through the cracks, but the same would happen if there weren't a time constriction on the courts.
I imagine it'll work about as well as making a 9yo promise not to have sex before marriage.
Perhaps South Carolina feels that they don't have enough home-grown criminals? Or merely ensure the students remain mediocre? It depends on if the child goes for the opposite of "great" or the opposite of "for South Carolina".
Is that just to avoid the laptop being "free" for political reason, to give it some value to the child, or is it the consideration needed to make the agreement a contract?
Adding a physical write tab for the OS would only last until the malware wrapped itself in something the user wanted. You'd have to make it a pain in the ass to discourage them, and then they'd be equally less likely to install OS updates.
Anyone else get an amusing number of requests to "install this print thingy" recently? Some people would infect their computer for $5 of mediocre chicken.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't think any system of sticky notes can compare to hyperlinking a problem directly to the portion of text it covers. And margin notes in my books aren't as trivially exported as my electronic ones.
My biology text wouldn't translate well to grayscale, but my calc & physics books had most of the diagrams in black & white already and the text was in 2 inch columns already.
From looking at other e-ink readers that have touch screens, they essentially add a Wacom pad to the device.
That adds 150-300 USD to the cost, extra for wifi and I haven't seen any with a cell connection. It does use up more battery, but since the Wacom makes them thicker, I think they generally have larger batteries as well.
If a screen the size of the entire current kindle, less bezel, switching to landscape view, and the ability to read PDFs is worth $130 to you, then return it if you are still in the 30 day grace period.
I preordered before Bezos stopped talking. My wife is going back for her MBA and at least 3/4 of her reading material is either only in PDF or is also available in PDF, so this'd help her a bunch. Hopefully, I got in soon enough that it'll get here before her next class starts.
Plus, I won't feel so guilty about stealing her current kindle:) I didn't think I'd like it, but other than the way the screen looks like newsprint, I've found little fault with it. I wish they hadn't gotten rid of the SD slot, but it can read all the ebooks I already had from Baen or most other non-DRM places, it's DRM is crackable, and it is easier to read wikipedia with it than my phone, so I can only complain about the lack of storage and the giant bezel.
This is one of, if not the, killers for EMR. I've seen hospitals go bankrupt because their EMR/billing staff couldn't keep up with all the weirdness insurance companies have with coding(changing codes, coding ambiguity, only guarantying responses if you send everything registered mail instead of electronically because they were processed differently, etc)
If medical coding were more consistent, let alone standardized across the industry, EMR software would be much simpler.
Call me a twit, but how do they discourge it? It shows up as a flash drive, you drop text files on it, tadah. The Ipod is more discouraging to put your own music on without itunes, unless you reflash it.
And if you wanted to use the search/annotation features, it'd still need a keyboard, unless you wanted to add a battery sucking touch film.
I would have bought one if they hadn't gotten rid of the SD slot.

Unless you think personal martyrdom to be more effective in achieving your goals, avoiding government assisted suicide is hardly cowardice.

FSM, I hope they don't try to make a guy version of NuvaRing.
Can you imagine where it'd go?
Also, print to PDF, email the PDF to @free.kindle.com instead and copy it over with a USB cable. Costs zero cents.
Or charge to add information to theirs records?
