Om, That's Actually "You Gotta Be Fucking Kidding Me" Om Malik discovered that Microsoft has received a new and exciting patent on "page up and page down." It was issued on 8/19/08. I just read the summary and this is truly a ridiculous patent. The USPTO must have gotten confused by the fancy math included in the patent (e.g. "{[(p-1)/c]h}+r&q... that is included in claim 1. 1. In a computing environment, a method comprising: displaying at least one page of a document that has multiple pages, at least one of the multiple pages, and the displayed at least one page including a first page displayed beginning at a starting point offset from a top of the document and from a top of the first page; calculating a height of at least the first page; calculating a row offset of the starting point of the first page; calculating a vertical offset at the starting point of the first page, wherein the vertical offset is calculated according to a formula of the form {[(p-1)/c]h}+r, where p is equal to the number of Feld.com Thursday, August 28, 2008 Just do this, now.

or could do. It will move you.It

how to write well, this is your model. Every word in this book counts.
There How to Save the World Thursday, August 28, 2008 Technorati's woes continue with no cure in sight. Shel Holtz Thursday, August 28, 2008 The Hobson and Holtz Report - Podcast #375: August 28, 2008 The Hobson and Holtz report - Podcast #375: August 28, 2008 Shel Holtz Thursday, August 28, 2008 Dean “Ultramarathon Man” Karnazes on Life, Marathons, etc. Last week Dean "Ultramarathon Man" Karnazes spoke last week at Google about life, ultramarathons and his outrageous feat of running 50 marathons in 50 consecutive days. His first book was harrowing but inspirational fun, and his new book sounds equally interesting. As a semi-editorial aside, Karnazes' speaking may start somewhat clunky, but it gets better and more flowing as he goes along, so bear with it and just watch the video. It's great stuff. Btw, his resting heart rate is 38 bpm, and his body fat is 5%. Whoa! InfectiousGreed Thursday, August 28, 2008 Is Apple Planning Touch-screen Macs?

That's because the processor world is home to one of the most unequal playing fields in the tech industry; with Intel [NASDAQ:INTC] head and shoulders above AMD and VIA [TPE:2388], any move by the underdogs bolsters hopes for a little more competition in the space.
