Yes rob I have also noticed that. Its very much similar to Google Docs. Formatting and alignments are really complicated but I guess its because of the online version.

Electrical devices are an essential part of our lives now. Something like food and water. Something we can't live without for extended periods of time. The hold they have on us is frightening. Everywhere we go, we need them. Sometimes I wonder whether its unhealthy for us. They are devices and we are becoming their slaves slowly. We just can't understand it.

That's true. Even where I live, people are starting to purchase items from the Internet. Something that wasn't there in the last decade. It's actually expanding very rapidly and you can see a lot of websites that sell stuff online.

Well yes its not 100% with the users right now but it is growing. If you see the numbers of people who are using smart phones and out of that who are using apps its a huge number. This will continue to grow sure in the near future.

Yeah, I used to do that. My wife still does. 

I used to also go after cheap pens. Anything under $25.

I've shifted those passions toward apps. Which is why I now have so many. 

And I missed one: PopClip. It adds an iPhone-like popup to your mouse pointer. I use it all the time.

I love stationery.  Really.  I have so many unused notebooks and to-do pads, just because they looked nice.

I've seen that kind of thing called "productivity porn." It's the lure of shopping for the perfect notebook in which to write down your to-dos and reminders. Rather than just spending the time doing them.

The US National Security Agency learned the hard way that it can be dangerous to give a contractor too much money and access, with too little scrutiny. The NSA and other government agencies hire tens of thousands of contractors a year to analyze data. Edward Snowden -- who revealed himself as the NSA leaker after fleeing the country -- was one such contractor, reportedly holding a $122,000 salaried position at Booz Allen Hamilton at the time of his departure.

Argument Over Top-Level Domains Is 'Stupid'

The whole Amazon.reader debate is a double-stupid. It's stupid to think that there's any e-book buyer who doesn't know Amazon's URL, and it was stupider to let ICANN launch the whole free-form TLD initiative to start with.
