Among biologists, the Galápagos Islands — an archipelago of volcanic islands that straddle the equator about 600 miles from the coast of mainland Ecuador — are legendary. For when the young Charles ...

Earlier this month I was invited to conduct an on stage interview with Jason Kilar, chief executive officer of Huluthe DLD conference in Munich. It gave me a chance to visit the city, walk around in bitter cold and look around what is arguably one of the cleanest and quietest cities in the world.

Tesla’s Profitability Claim Was The Milli Vanilli of Cleantech

“Profitability” can be a squishy term for startups — until they file for an IPO and deliver, through the SEC, what’s often the first unfiltered snapshot of their financial situation: the S-1. That’s been the case for Tesla Motors, which filed on Friday to raise up to $100 million through an initial public offering.

I see my piece in the Conference of Defence Associations Institute periodical On Track is live (page 35 of PDF). It's a highly abridged version of some remarks I gave to that CDAI meeting back in the fall in Ottawa, but I think it still holds together. My appreciation to Col. (retd.) Pellerin and his staff for the opportunity.

Glad this is finally getting more publicity. Outside of Symbian, no other smartphone OS is available for such a low entry price. And spec and feature wise, it matches or exceeds devices running Android, Web OS, WinMo, Blackberry OS, and the iPhone OS that regularly cost $450-$600+.

Concerning the Finder move/resize scripts from this previous hint , there are some issues in Snow Leopard (and perhaps Leopard). When resizing a window, it will usually not go beyond the edge of the Dock. Even when the Dock is hidden, there will still be a four-pixel gap between the window and the display's edge.

Almost immediately after the United States said that it intended to sell more than $6 billion-worth of arms to Taiwan, the Chinese went into a spin. They summoned the American ambassador to denounce this interference in China’s “internal ...
