  1. screen ratio more then bezels on Like Smartphone Vendors, Laptop OEMs Are Increasingly Moving To Near Bezel-Less Displays (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    while it's nice that thin bezels help to keep the size down having a 4:3 or at least a 16:10 screen ratio would be a much better improvement

  2. split fee at user level on Kindle Unlimited Scammers Gaming the System At the Expense of Real Authors (annchristy.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    don't share money from a common pool, but split each user fee based on his readings. spammers will still get some money, but only from people that actually read their books: not so many I would say.

  3. Re:How about something more useful? on Microsoft's BSOD Is Getting More Descriptive With QR Codes (cio.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What makes this great is that your client/coworker/family member can take a picture of the code and send it to you. That's far more doable than having them try to remember what the error message said. "Oh, it said skynet falls or something". Apps like Google goggles will search the picture for the QR and you have usable information.

    What if your client/coworker/family member directly take a picture of the error message? Why going through this QR crap?
