I clearly remember it being boxed and on a shelf along side Internet Explorer for like $40 at CompUSA. Nearly an entire isle for browsers.

I rocked the IIe but wanted a IIgs like no other. I'd 'visit' it at our local 'Apple store' before the Apple store (It was Tokamac in Palo Alto if I remember correctly and I may not). I also collected an Amiga A500 and an Atari 1040st. Love. Those. Times.

Coupler modems

Felt like I just jumped in the way back machine for this one. I was actually hoping for a hardware update or additional news - there is not.

Very bummed that Awake got axed - interesting spin on a cop procedural.

Spot. On. Except Chad wants us to store our crap in his garage. Hmm.

Excellent quote and that sums it up nicely for me. Gack from a can. Yumbo.

Very good story that is well written. Interesting path that Kitna decided on when he could have gone one thousand other ways that were far easier. I am certain I would not have made the same type of choice. Once again, great article.

I have been curious as to why there were not more Skylanders type hardware games in existence? Not sure I would choose NFC as the link though it will be interesting to see and hopefully lead to others. NFC table top gaming could be a thing. NFC enabled mech with a little AR sprinkled on top? Please?

Interesting read with some good links. I must confess that I read this headline initially as Freakonomics as An Alternative to Democracy. I clicked through to see what that would have been about. Could have been good times.

I would prefer 'Ah nuclear weapons - what can't you stop?'

I've used Tomato.es for quite some time now (relatively speaking) and have found it 'better' for my flow than pen and paper/mechanical timer (though I have one as well).

Not seeing this as link bait at all - more method for than what was being learned. Great read that gives a lot of interesting insights and methods - definitely not for everyone. A lot of the same information and ideas have been discussed on Study Hacks though it is great to see the provided examples.

This entire situation is the foundation of my reluctance to completely shift to 'online media'. I have always understood that I would be leasing the media and that it could be terminated for cause just as the article related. Rough stuff.

This article also reminds me of where I used to pick up CD's back when they first came out - Tower Records in Mountain View, CA. CD's - still around; Tower Records - not so much. Interesting how it all worked out.

I don't think that an advert has provoked me or anyone I know to buy anything. Samsung's latest ad campaign is a definite strategy shift though that has grabbed attention (as was the point of course).

I am fairly certain, having never met Steve Jobs, that he was a bit more than just marketing hype and product fluff. In my mind, that was part of the public facing that he allowed in the open. I, as a complex organism with multiple thought patterns and facades, recognize that there was probably much more to Steve Jobs than the article author stated. Whether you use Apple products is regardless to the fact that boiling a human down to a couple of descriptives is fairly shallow.

Interesting read and an interesting idea. When I was through the first read, my comparison for what I had just read was that it reminded me of 'The Phantom Tollbooth.' Thanks for posting and good luck with the project.

Very well put and I certainly agree. This thought process can also lead to far more realistic goal planning for all walks of life (you give a great example about weight lifting). Learning just to learn is admirable in and of itself but perhaps not as realistic than learning for a specific need that can be enumerated.

Thanks for the link for the article - I appreciate it.

And now I cannot un-see it either. Five minutes. Train Wreck principle?

Great idea with a wicked execution; another why-didn't-I-think-of-that moments. 'Over' funded is a good thing too.

Always have your towel handy. Always. Note: comparing user bases while still in limited release? Not going to lead to any decent conclusions.

Seems that way. I'd say run with it.

If this is still available - thanks. Switched to public. beesonatorx gmail com

Thanks.
