i don't see this working. i don't want to be waving my arms around all day. your arm needs some place to rest, like on your desk. i have a 27" display. i don't want to be moving my arms all over the place when a small flick of my wrist on the mouse covers the same distance.

with tablets, it makes sense, they are right in front of of, holding them. usually in a natural position as well, not eye level in front of us. i am not going to put my display on my lap...

now how about a dock that can do 2 ipads, not take up a ton of room, and work with some cases. then we'd be talking

interesting "how-to"... drill hole in case...done....

i would finish the hole up with small plastic edging that they make in a variety of sizes to fit in a hole like that or some kind of a grommet. anything to make it a little more finished then a drilled hole in the back of your case. Or if you had the kind of hole punches used in book binding it would make a much neater hole to pound that through it then a drill which would rip the edges up while it drills.

to me it seems like a case for a 1st gen would just be sloppy since the size drastically changed between 1 and 2. Extra case, extra weight, making it bigger then it needed to be. etc.

switch to a BW laser and you'll never go back.

I got mine on clearance for $60. I have had it for 2 years, I actually print all the time at home now and I still have over 50% of my toner.

for day to day things, an inket has no place.

with a dry application you have to worry about dust like crazy. i applied a dry protector in a small bathroom after running the shower on hot for a bit and stil had just problems. in the end i did a flawless job, but it took some work.

i don't use instagram since they don't have an ipad app. but if it does allow you to add a line etc, then you could use blurb to make yourself an instagram book.

or make a facebook photo album and every day just take a photo, upload to that album, and write a caption.

then once again blurb makes it pretty easy to make a book

i was thinking the same thing but since they are focused on showing the difference between each of them I am going to guess they shot them all on the widest setting. 11mm, 18mm and 60mm.

i have a 17-50, 18-55, 50, 60, and 50-250. The 17-50 is the newest and hasn't came off yet since it is a constant ƒ2.8, has stabilization, and is HSM. Your midrange doesn't have to be a kit lens though, you can get high quality lenses in this range too. Love my new midrange.

you can get all three for the prices listed, but not with the one code

You need to alter the promo code (hungergamesdeal, hungergamesdeal2, hungergamesdeal3) for 3 separate transactions.

yes they work. usually the electronic versions will have a noticeable looping point. it is inevitable. So instead go mechanical. This is the one i purchased.

http://www.amazon.com/Marpac-980A-Sound-Screen-Conditioner/dp/B000MPH0PG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1332854929&sr=8-3

it started because my parents house is pretty noisy. you can hear where everyone is, all the time. It drove my wife crazy and i like to have a happy wife... so i bought this. It is amazing. you can vary the sound just by turning the 2 different pieces to line up the air holes differently.

we now take it on trips with us for hotel rooms. When we go home. We use it every night and since we have a newborn my wife uses it when she tries to slip a nap in.

well worth the money. it is small enough to sort of travel with, around 5-6" cubed. It is just made out of the horrible tan plastic computer were made out of in the 80's. I have thought about taking it apart and laying some spray paint down on it.

you can get some versions of woodgrain contact paper at a local home improvement store like Home Depot. There are fancy versions online from various websites in a multitude of different woods, but in a pinch Home Depot has it.

I have a roll for random projects. When I was bored I skinned the front of my brother-in-laws white xbox360 with the wood when he wasn't looking. It's still on there and looks quite snazzy.

this is more of a comment for the guys, since women usually have a purse. in your carry on, always carry a second bag. It should be a small messenger bag, backpack, plastic shopping bag, ANYTHING.

When we were flying to Aruba, they did the always awesome, Hey, all of you with carry ons, yeah, you're going to gate check all of those. Plus you don't get them back at your layover, instead we'll just for real check them. But, since we're super nice, we won't make you pay to check them. That is how awesome we are.

So now, all the stuff you thought you had with you, gone.

Oh and yeah, since you have your little 3oz shampoo with you, but not in a super sturdy bottle, because it was a carry on, it will now explode. have fun.

they need an ipad version, although i was playing with this on the ipad anyways.

for some reason the exposure didn't really seem to change at all when selecting different light and dark points and i could never get the focus lock to come up. i need to play with it more, but those are just my initial findings.

i considered most of these cases, but sadly most of them just look like they would be pretty uncomfortable to actually hold and use. the case i have allows me to fold the cover over and i hold it one handed. With these being wood I can see my hand getting tired even faster.

Also, kind of a "really" on this article. Couldn't we just use the search function and find almost 5 different almost identical articles?

for multiple gmail (and other email) accounts, just load them into your mac's mail program. cost:free...

gmail also allows you to connect accounts together. i haven't done it but it sounds easy enough.

i was going to paste the same xkcd. great way to teach why it works, and to create a mnemonic device about the random string of words.

i need to revise my password, although it is decent. i was making an account for a site the other day and it has to have the letters, caps, numbers, symbols and be longer then normal. so it made me revise MY normal password i use...which means i need a new normal. And no, i am not going to be making a new password for each site.

On that thought too. if you were going to use that naming system it isn't going to help you remember them much if you don't have a proper system of doing so. to use "fb" for facebook, and "at" for apartment therapy, but then to say use "dora" for pandora, that no longer follows your own system you made, and really will not help you. easy fix, don't make your passwords with the site names in it. Most will even restrict from using anything remotely close to their name or initials.

i sit in an aeron every single day, and it's not pretty but it is comfy. my back or my butt is never really sore, so it must be doing it;s job. I have been sitting in this one for almost 5 years and it still works fine. Don't know about the poster above that said all of theirs broke.

At the same time i think the aeron is perfect for people like me. I am tall but not too tall, i am not fat. it fits great.

i prefer the looks of the sayl chair and we would probably have them here except they weren't out when the company started so we just keep on adding on aerons. they are a bit less money, come in some great colors and have a bit of style. reminds me of the Milwaukee museum of art.

i don't usually use our blu ray to play blu discs. when i need to it is there but the rest of the time i load files up on a thumb drive and plug it in, and watch videos that way, or connect it to netflix, or hook up pandora for some music.

I don't own that many blu disc and i rarely rent them because redbox charges a premium, and i think, do i really need the extra definition for 30 cents? My player upscales pretty good too, so standard dvds look pretty amazing on it.

i don't have an xbox though, so the streaming wins for me. the wii wasn't cutting it with no hd streaming. also now I got a new MB pro, so i can connect it to the tv through hdmi and watch hulu on the tv, which is amazing.
