Ten years ago, I worked at a small company (starts with a 'Q') in a building across the parking lot from them. Every six months, it seemed, they either layed off or re-hired half their workforce.
It was the perpetual invalid of Colorado's Front Range.
The article implies that proportional motion--you move your finger more quickly, the pointer or scrollpoint moves further--is somehow unique to Synaptics, or is a product of their "knack for navigation."
1) If your immune system doesn't get enough stimulation, it appears to turn on the body. There's no conclusive proof of this, but some researchers think that Crohn's disease and some allergies are caused by the fact that we've protected ourselves pretty effectively from the pathogens that most people (i.e. outside the US and Europe) have to suffer with.
2) Your immune system isn't a muscle. You can't make it stronger with exercise. You can however gain immunities. Most city dwellers (and life-long eaters of unpasteurized cheese) suffer through attacks of the pathogens while young, and perhaps with the help of antibodies from mother's milk. Adults who move to the city from the (relatively) pathogen-free countryside, or have their first bite of wild cheese at age 25, have some immunological catching-up to do.

And now they're profitable?
I think that a fingerprint counts more as "2) Something you have."
Security risks of biometrics.

Uh, yeah, and there's no acceleration setting in X Windows?
Well, it's not pure evil or pure genius.
Just sort of fair-to-middlin'.
The lack of sets in Sky Captain.. may have "freed" Jude Law, but it sure isn't his best acting.
I mean, how is that he was more commanding, sympathetic, and charismatic in AI--when he played a robot?
I use MS Word a lot, and plenty of the features work fine. But the grammar checker is wretched.
I leave it on simply because one time in five it makes an acceptable recommendation. If Word shipped without the grammar checker, I wouldn't miss it.
Two different things going on.
