No backlight. Much smaller screen – 4.3" on the X4 compared to 7" on the Paperwhite. However, the Xteink is much more customizable/hackable.

The Push for a “PBS for the Internet” 5 years ago

Most PBS stations run infomercials promoting quack medicine.

Can you give details? I'm wondering if this was something that only a local affiliate did and not something that was PBS sanctioned.

I bet a sealed 38 floppy edition of Windows 98, in mint condition, would go for a million USD.

KFC restaurant that drives autonomously 6 years ago

What's stopping someone from swiping an extra bag of chicken tenders? This design has the same flaw as the newspaper vending machine box. Pay once, take a bunch. Perhaps people are more honest in Shanghai compared to Western countries.

Michael Pollan on Psilocybe Azurescens 8 years ago

Wonderful book. I enjoyed it so much, I used one of my Audible credits to purchase the audiobook version, narrated by Pollan himself. It was a delight to hear his experiences firsthand, retold in his pleasant tone.

Mac Pro 2 Concept Design 10 years ago

As an Android/iOS developer, I personally wouldn't need all of the power. However, I could see where professional video editors and the like working with multiple 4K streams and wish to stay within the familiarity of the  ecosystem would want something a bit more expandable/flexible.

Mac Pro 2 Concept Design 10 years ago

50% of the site was black background + scrolling for me, but I think I can get the gist of it. Nice design + expansion capabilities, right?

Apple's Industrial Design group needs to get it through their skulls that folks doing REAL pro work still need traditional expansion capabilities. At the very least, pro users need to:

1) Have the ability to expand RAM

2) Have space for two video cards (ThunderBolt 3 + video card enclosures is not a desirable solution)

3) Have space for at least a couple internal hard drives

For some reason, I don't think this will ever happen because the end result would probably be bigger, noisier, and uglier than what the ID group would allow. But, man.. wouldn't it be nice to be able to purchase a base config Mac Pro 2 with one stick of RAM, shipped with integrated graphics and the user could drop in any graphics card(s) they wish?

Hackintoshes can work fine for some, but oftentimes we just want to be able to run software update without the fear that a patch will break our bread-and-butter making machines.
