Obviously, PTs use the same exercises that the personal trainers and yoga instructors do. There are only so many exercises out there. If you have a problem specifically in one part of your body, though, going to yoga will not fix your problem as effectively as a specifically-designed routine from a PT.
Once you are back on your feet (or hand or arm or whatever), you should hit a gym and go for a full-body style workout of some sort. Yoga is one such choice. If you want to lose some weight, do something more cardio-based like kickboxing or something. All exercise is good, as long as you keep with it and make sure you work your whole body.
Didn't we go through this already? I had a Surface RT, and while it did everything I wanted at the time, it wasn't anywhere near as useful as a current Chromebook. I love the idea of the Windows Store, but MS needs to get away from it on these things.....it's just way too limiting.
How the heck does adding an option to Edge or feature to Paint qualify as an operating system update? The surround sound thing probably is tied to the OS, and the headset thing might be, too. Other than that, these are just software updates to things that people just don't need.
For God's sake, deliver the OS and the apps separately. Give the apps away in the app store or, if they're really worth a damn, charge a few bucks for them....however ya want. MS knows how to do this....Office, Minecraft, etc. If people jump onto an app and it becomes the "next big thing", then GREAT! MS should spend some effort making it available to Macs and Linux users, too, and profit away.
Just stop confusing updates to these applications as critical updates for the operating system. The average user out there probably isn't paying enough attention to know the difference, and making these updates appear important really just confuses the users when truly critical updates to the OS do get delivered.
I've always made a checklist of "TO-DOs" to take from the conference to at least try out when I got back. These could include some product demos for things I hadn't seen before, or little tips that I could roll out the next week. I've gone to a show ever year for the past 4 years, while never having gone to one the previous 10. Beyond direct learning, the networking is amazing. With a little effort, you can build a network not just for your own career, but for bouncing ideas or looking for assistance in your current job.
I find that they are totally worth it. They are NOT easy....you spend a lot of hours learning and meeting people. You can make it a boondoggle, but if you put forth a little effort, you will learn more in a week than you will learn the rest of your year.
I still don't see the use of such a gadget. As it stands right now, 3D TVs are out of production. Google Glass is gone. We all have multiple devices with multiple operating systems, with data thrown at us all the time in 2D. I don't know that, in general, people can handle much more than we have right now. Is there really a market for this thing beyond some niche video gamers or maybe some kind of high-end flight trainers?
If nothing else, at least this will eliminate some confusion in terms of selling Chromebooks. Most of the folks I recommend them for are basic users anyway, and many of them have smartphones already. Having to explain that they can't run the same Android apps as they can on their phones, when both devices have something to do with Google, is a pain.
Aren't there already plenty of low-cost options out there? Just because the OS is older or the hardware isn't speced to the gills doesn't mean older phones are unusable. I was using a 3rd Gen Moto G until last week and it served every purpose I NEEDED...only problem was 8 GB of storage. That's my own problem for being to cheap to spend more than $100 on a phone.
MS needs to focus on what they are good at and spend the R&D time to develop the "next great thing". They have been late to so many tech trends over the past decade and need to create their own, instead of trying to skim a few dollars from established markets.
Take your the best job you can find with the biggest company and the highest pay first. Companies don't just pay you what they think they should....when you change jobs, you tell them what you make and they bump it a % to make you happy. I've found that by starting at a small shop with low pay, it took me many years and many job hops to get to where recent college grads were as soon as they got into the workforce.
That said, paying my dues that way taught me a lot of technical stuff that corporate paper pushers never actually learned. Many (actually most) IT jobs in corporate America are basically project management or "service delivery" positions, and you may not even get your hands dirty in the code/infrastructure. It took me years to get to that type of job and then I realized it wasn't for me. Fortunately, I was able to move back to technical work and keep the pay.
And accept the fact right now that forever, your family will think you fix computers for a living.
I haven't understood the push for Edge, even with the previews I've been on for a couple years. It's far behind Chrome or Firefox in terms of features and it stinks to even try to use. I'm not patient enough to wait for their Agile-built app to go through enough sprints to become good. It's seems to me like when you are dropping your new app into an already fairly crowded space, the minimal marketable product must at least provide a damn-near level set of features to what is there.
You have to think of the repercussions of doing things like requiring ID at Will Call. Lines become long and eliminate the convenience of e-tickets. You wouldn't be able to buy your kids tickets to a show and let them go without you. There will always need to be some physical ticket that can be passed between people to get them in at the gate, and you can't make it inconvenient in this day and age.
I LOVE the idea of clamping down on scalping and brokering, but the real problem is that the ticket is sold for way less than it's actually worth. The price of the ticket should be whatever people are willing to pay for it. If that means the team/venue/whatever charges $1500 per seat for a big game, so be it. The teams, promoters, venues, or whoever are the starting point for the ticket sales are the ones who need to put the work into predicting the actual value of their tickets before they put them out there, and then pricing them accordingly. Even if that starts to become what appears to be overpriced, it's no different than what the brokers are doing with them now, and that's a slimy business for sure.
Key manufacturers have to really love keyless entry systems. If the need for your product disappears or you can no longer compete, you need to find something else to do. Yay capitalism!!!
Once again, a Mac fanboy runs with a line that the "software and hardware are so closely tied together". Bull...the only difference between the hardware in a Mac and in a cheap Dell is that the Mac hardware is more reliable and is more consistent across the model. A business-line Dell, on the other hand, has the same QA going into the component selection, and, therefore, works just as well and reliably as the Mac. And still at the same or better price. The software companies have no more access to the OSX source code than they do to the Windows source code, meaning they can't really dig more into the hardware in either case. Nor would they.....they have features in their backlog to roll out....not just minuscule performance improvements.
I've been on the Insider fast ring for a long time. Never had any real issues. My thinking is that if I just download the preview and spin a VM up from it, I won't use it very much. In that case, I may as well just wait until GA.
You are owed nothing from your employer beyond the paycheck you agreed to work for. You owe the company nothing beyond the full effort required for the job you're paid to do. If you leave, they don't owe you anything but pay for the time you did work. If they fire you, you don't owe them anything. It is that simple.
You work for a paycheck, they hire you for your work. It's a simple agreement between two parties, no different than you going to the grocery to buy bread.
Really? What year is this again? That train has sailed......come back to me when you're ready to roll something out that's production-ready and don't think that I'm all excited to do your beta testing anymore.

I may be smithcl8, I may be Anonymous Coward. What's it to ya, as long as I say nice things?
So glad so many people here don't use any of those company's products. (yeah, right)
Nah....there are really other options out there now beyond Windows.

Add the Windows Subsystem for Linux feature and then go to a command prompt and type "bash". Done.
How will this help the poor white folks of OH, WV, MI, and IN? Wait, they wouldn't have the skills to work there anyway.

Let me remove Edge and Cortana, then I'd be thrilled. I don't need another browser and I sure as heck don't need a "virtual assistant".
