I don't think the 7-minute Workout was supposed to give you large muscle mass. It's supposed to simulate the effects of high intensity training, which may make you more toned but not make you the Hulk.

I really appreciated when I was trying to log into a website on my phone and kept getting the password wrong. After a few tries, it said "we know typing on a phone sucks, would you like to unmask the password field?".

Nowadays, just looking at the last character briefly before it gets masked is enough for me to correctly type in my more complicated passwords.

I'd like arbitrary password restrictions to disappear before things like default masked password fields. I can never remember whether this unfrequented site required 6-8 characters, or a special character, or no more than three alphanumeric characters, etc. in the password. I just usually reset the password each time I need to log in, in such cases.

Are you also then against CSS transitions?

It (should) mean free as in libre: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre#.22Free_bee...

"Free as in beer" and "free as in freedom" confuse me too, because beer sets you free, and freedom has no monetary definition for some people.

Aw. I was expecting a CRM (which is what the original title says) but all I got was a CMS.

I used to "open" marketing emails for fractions of a second while browsing my inbox with keyboard shortcuts. I go to the next email, and if it's a marketing email, I move to the next email.

But with the Promotions tab, I check the titles, and if they're not interesting, I mark them together as read without opening it.

So, my reading behaviour hasn't changed even though tracking my open rate with tracking pixels will now show different results. If it's an interesting email, I'll read it. If not, I won't.

I'm actually interested in this. I'm out of space on my Macbook Air, but I have gigabytes of photos that I'd like to be able to use with Aperture or Lightroom without using an external drive.

Has anyone tried a solution to mount an online server/drive/storage as a network drive in order to do the same things that this new SkyDrive will do?

I think Malcolm Gladwell was suggesting that the first officer wanted to tell him something but couldn't because he couldn't be direct.

But looking at just the transcript, would you really come to that conclusion? By leaving out most lines, the transcript seems to show a FO with an internal struggle to speak out, but I don't think that was what happened at all.

Of course they do, but that's not the entire article.

For much of the article, the author is saying that Gladwell's hypothesis is a big stretch and it displays the Igon Value Problem.

I think hot cars & their waste heat makes sense. Each car's engine is essentially a furnace.

I've also noticed that underground subway station platforms can get very hot in the summer, and it's worse when trains come by and their AC systems are spewing hot air into the station.
