I lost mine in my house. Looked for it in April, couldn’t find it. In September I found it and the battery was at 56%.
Also you can’t read a tablet in direct sunlight.

Yeah Amazon and I have a pretty adversarial relationship about what I should be able to do on my Kindle, and my next device won’t be from them. But in the meantime I’m loving having my jailbreak back, and I made sure to prevent updates properly this time. Koreader is great and the thing even has a Gameboy emulator!


My (half-) brother has Huntington’s. It killed his father, so he knew it was possible and he’s not having any children. He’s just turned 30 and just had its presence confirmed, but apparently he’ll be symptom-free until about 60. Hopefully we get more good news like this in the next 30 years.
Better for mobile applications, which I realize TVs are typically not but sometimes they can be mounted onto a cart or something.


I just stopped using Connect to Windows to test out Sefirah. I haven’t used it enough to form an opinion on it, but it’s open source.
If somebody could summarise it for me that would be great. I don’t really care enough to watch it myself, but I’ll want to be in the loop enough to know what people are talking about when they reference it.


A fascinating read. It inspired me to look further into the StarCraft voice integration. Other games have tried it, using voice commands to direct computer companions as an additional layer of realism. But I’m not aware of any game that’s done it well. Might be nice for applications like picking from a long list, sometimes “build unit X” is way faster than paging through buttons, but again we have keyboard shortcuts for that. Keyboard shortcuts wouldn’t work for dynamic menus though, and voice commands do.
Sorry for the stream of consciousness.
If you’re wondering if you would still be able to plug your phone into your computer to put files on it, let me ask you a related question: Do you think Google would kill the ability to plug your phone in and take pictures and video off of it? I think the answer to that is pretty obvious.
