Wow! Having some sort of Visual Studio Code and Vim/Neovim integration would be AWESOME!
> For me personally, there is also less wrist-twisting if I don't use X, which involves moving my pinky down to the shift key; that always feels like I'm walking up to the edge of carpal tunnel. But you have to press…
They have made it very clear that they are doubling down on a touch-first vision they started with Windows 8. Just out of curiosity, have you tried Windows 8 on a touch-based device(Laptop or Tablet)?
They are not backtracking in any way. If anything they're doubling down on their vision with Metro.
Shitty OS? This is not OS X we are talking about!
When you open a book (which is the only way you can read it!), it is definitely wider than it is tall. And hence I find it much more natural to hold a tablet in the landscape mode.
For something you need to hold with both hands(which I assume how you use your iPad), I think the landscape orientation is more natural and comfortable. That's how we hold a book while reading lying down.
I don't read Gruber. So not sure if that was a compliment or not!
All the laptops, tablets, TV screens I have seen are measured diagonally. That's how it's always been done. Maybe that's not how it should be done. But it IS how it's generally done.
Of course you can convert any iPad owner who is eager to have a usable keyboard and a great Office suite on her tablet so she can stop carrying both a tablet and a laptop with her everywhere.
The ad in general is absolutely brilliant, and completely to the point. Windows 8 tablets are inherently more usable and useful than the iPad. Sure the app ecosystem is not quite there yet, but the core OS is definitely…
Apple's 4:3 screen for tablets are outdated and completely unusable. 16:9 is the way to go for any modern computing device. 4:3 is terrible for watching HD videos or browsing websites -- all of which are made with a…
Windows 8 has been a ROARING success no matter which way you cut it. 100 million in 6 months is way more than any version of Mac OS or Google Chrome OS will EVER sell.
Calibri is where it is at. Should be the universal font for documents.
Was a brilliant presentation IMO. Maybe Sony's extremely disappointing PS4 event set the bar too low, but anyway this Xbox One announcement gave me goosebumps. The possibilities are endless. Let's see what they have…
C, C++, Python, C# -- in that order. Should definitely start with C.
Outlook.com it is.
I think Vimeo deserves more love. It allows you to download videos too which is very handy. Windows Phone and Windows 8 users will be better off in the long run using Vimeo. I think Google has made it pretty clear by…
