  1. The touch bar is less than 3 cm away from the screen. It's within your view. It wouldn't make sense to put Touch Bar on desktop's keyboard.

  2. How often do you need to charge and listen to music at the same time? Scenarios: 1. charging at home: You'll probably play music through your main computer 2. charging in car: You'll probably play music through Bluetooth 3. charging on the go: Desperate for battery, will be conserving battery for calls, won't listen to music.

  3. Engine noise? on Experts Say Hitching a Ride In an Airliner's Wheel Well Is Not a Good Idea · · Score: 1

    What about the engine noise? Does one need to bring the earplugs?

  4. Meeting strangers on What 'IT' Stuff Should We Teach Ninth-Graders? · · Score: 1

    What to do when meeting an online stranger? 1. Tell parents where's one going 2. Meet in public places 3. Go with friends

    "Typing of the Dead" is a pretty good game and tutorial.

  7. Malaysia's Dell is Different on Dell Found Guilty of Fraud, False Advertising · · Score: 1

    I am living in Malaysia. The Dell support here is great. I have called 5 times for supports. My calls are answers in less than a minute. The tech support was patient. Guided me through the entire process of troubleshooting. I wonder, how's other countries' Dell doing?

  8. Netstumbler on F/OSS Flat-File Database? · · Score: 1

    Have you used Netstumbler? It can store plenty of access points in details.

  9. Re:Print Version (and my Apple woes) on The Most Annoying Software Out There · · Score: 1

    >Multiple monitors at work? I need to restart. Why do you need to restart to detect new monitor in Mac OS X? Go to the top right corner, you will see a monitor, click on it and detect your secondary monitor.

  10. Suggestion on Experiment Shows Traffic 'Shock Waves' Cause Jams · · Score: 1

    How about making a lengthy, say 100m of traffic light? This way, the 100m of cars could see it's green light, and can get ready.

  11. What bugs me is the hardware supports on What Bugs Apple Fans About Apple · · Score: 1

    I have a "Pentax K100D Super" camera, it is still not supported by Aperture. It has been 6 months since released. It's very similar to K100. Nokia 6210 is still not supported by iSync. But Apple was nice enough to include a iSync Plugin Maker utility. Just hope Apple would include more plugin maker, so that we can make out own.

  13. Re:netapp and ibm give you an option to keep faile on Should Apple Give Back Replaced Disks? · · Score: 1

    I was required to give the Admin password, when I sent my Macbook for a warranty service (hard drive failure). Isn't this defeat the purpose to have File Vault turn on?

  14. Re:What really chaps my hide... on HP & Staples Collude On $8,000/Gallon Ink? · · Score: 1

    ...is printers that refuse to print a document when the level of one color of ink is low even if the document being printed doesn't use that color at all. I have an Epson that I like pretty much. It has individual cartridges for each color of ink but if, say, the cyan cartridge is empty, I can't print even if the page is nothing but black text. There's no real reason for it, it's strictly a software (or firmware) limitation put in by the manufacturer.

    There is a good reason for this. If there is no ink to squirt, the print head will be overheated and could damage the print head.
  15. 360 degree? on The Perfect Phone Storm? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Engadget is now on its best behavior, a 360 degree change from its earlier role ...

    360 degree = 0 degree = no change. It should be 180 degree.

    Divers carry compressed air, not O2.

  21. Re:more mirrors on Unique and Productive or Just More Eye-Candy? · · Score: 1

    This could be a fake video. Anyone can sync their fingers with a carefully crafted video production. Just like the GUI in "Minority Report".
