There are a ton of reasons one could imagine for this (not that any of these are true - just guesses): E-books for kids are generally not interactive - what's the point or advantage of getting electronic versions (which are often not cheaper, either). Also, the electronic devices still belong to the parents - kids can't take the ipad to bed with them, but they can take the books. Another issue is the bookshelf - kids can see and choose books, and parents and kids can see what they've read - a 'virtual' bookshelf isn't the same and again, isn't owned by the kid. Mainly though, it's just tradition - we might teach/parent the way we were taught/parented, or we might like the nostalgic feeling of reading a real book to our kids. Reading The Night Before Christmas, for example, is a big tradition. We got a version of the book that let us record grandpa reading it (the nook tablet now supports that feature, too).

I think what edw519 is getting at is that you should focus on the most important thing in the context of your business/goals. If you're a cancer researcher then, yes, get on top of that cancer research.

But if you're doing a software product, focus on building out a great feature or talking to your customers before you start wasting time on a pretty logo.

This Week's Hot Deals fromTechbargains — The Gadgeteer
I'm really interested in SpaceX, as it seems like the ultimate example of the free market doing things better than the government. I was particularly interested of the claim that they've outdone – and undercut – the Chinese. I'm having trouble deciding if that is based upon fundamentally better technology, or just that the Chinese have no need to optimise that much, as they aren't resource-constrained. The skeptic in me says the latter, but I'm hopeful it's the former.
They should cut the misspelling too.

That's not surprising if you've read much about Jobs, especially the Isaacson biography. Jobs generally respected people who were confident enough to stand up to him, and he surrounded himself with good people who could do just that.
And prices are expected to rise significantly in the next few years, according to defense department officials. Why? Musk says a lot of the answer is in the government’s traditional “cost-plus” contracting system, which ensures that manufacturers make a profit even if they exceed their advertised prices. “If you were sitting at a n executive meeting at Boeing and Lockheed and you came up with some brilliant idea to reduce the cost of Atlas or Delta, you’d be fired,” he says. “Because you’ve got to go report to your shareholders why you made less money. So their incentive is to maximize the cost of a vehicle, right up to the threshold of cancellation.”

I can't help but think of all the other places where that kind of system operates and makes costs much higher than they should be... How much better would the world be if fewer resources were wasted thus?

Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I'm working with some illustrators on an interactive children's book, and I'm curious how parents feel about book apps for kids.

Does the idea of a richly interactive children's book appeal to you, and if so, how much interactivity is too much? At what point does an interactive book become a game, in your opinion, and do you think video games for young children (under 6-ish) present moral or developmental issues?

I'm confused by this Q&A - I can't think of a hobbyist 3d printer design that doesn't move the build platform:

In the Printrbot it appears the print head moves in X & Z, and the build platform moves in Y. Same as the RepRap Mendel.

In the MakerBot the print head moves in Z, and the build platform in X&Y. In the Up! 3d printer the print head moves in X, build platform Y&Z. In the Ultimaker, print head X&Y, build platform Z (this is the combination that rbanffy describes.)

So that's a good bunch of possible permutations, but the build platform always moves...

If I remember correctly, though, the sequel to Knights of the Old Republic had a character who went out of her way to point out that both the light and dark sides of the force are self-serving, and that the Jedi and the Sith each honored their codes over people.

It was one of the more interesting takes on the series, I thought.

It's so interesting how the tech reporting world is changing so much.

Parr's departure is just yet another long chain of these events, but it also marks at how much money is being thrown around. It also shows how tech is growing up! And with its massive swelling, these cottage industries have also risen. Remember when MG Siegler was at VentureBeat? Now he invests.

So much volatility and yet it's also highly important. These big writer networks creates the content that fills a weather channel of sorts for us tech workers to figure out the lay of the land.
I love my Kindle, but I don't want my two year old daughter to use it.

Why? She's hard on things. If she tears a page out of a regular book, that's no big deal; if she cracks my Kindle's screen that's rather more annoying. If I had an iPad, that'd be even more worrying -- a $600 device is a bit much. I could read to her from the ebook, but since she likes to read for herself I'd then have to get her child-safe copies anyway...

Also, the sort of books aimed at a two year old are pretty picture heavy. A Kindle has many strengths, but pictures are not among them.

As soon as she's onto less picture-heavy books, and I think she's trustable with such a device, I'll be letting her use one. I have no particular emotional attachment to the paper form, which I want to pass onto her.

Talking about 'How much someone is rich' without talking about 'How someone became rich' is so plainly wrong.

You have to work in order to make money. And to make a lot of money you need to work a lot, or at least harder. To do that you need to know how to use your time well.

Understanding some meta aspects of work is very important. And sometimes studying nerd lives can give you how they manage those meta aspects which affect the actual aspects which make them money.

I see we've come to a full circle now. Reddit has been remade.
People are driven to play one side of the fence or the other. As an example, many had fought to deregulate our banks. Now, after the recession, where are all these people? crickets Our banks in Canada were one of the only in the world to not suffer serious hardship coupled with millions of dollars lost in foreclosures, lost benefits and savings. This was, without question, due to regulation. Canada would not be in the position it is today had it deregulated the banks. This is a fact served by many, many examples throughout the world.

Admittingly, not all regulation is good. Matters like these should be investigated on a individual basis with due process. It isn't a matter of deregulation vs. regulation. Or Canada vs. USA. These mindsets are dangerous as they rubberstamp behaviour without consideration to the influences these actions may or may not have.

The CRTC needs good reform, but full deregulation is not my preference. The CRTC must encourage (require?) innovation for Canadians. That's the problem. We're unhappy because we don't have the innovations we should - and we pay top dollar for archaic services.

Deregulated media only means Bell/Rogers/Shaw will eventually be in the hands of conglomerates. There are financial advantages to this, but a boat-load of disadvantages not seen immediately. Do you think Comcast or AT&T would continue to employ 50,000+ people in Canada to uphold their Canadian operations had they the opportunity to purchase our telcos? Doubtful. What about our programming? What about censorship in the media - would we eventually adopt the American model if it's less work for them to uphold our model with theirs? With SOPA, we'd essentially inherit American policies without force. Not something I'd consider an improvement.

I wouldn't worry about your Kindle's screen. I broke mine, and Amazon replaced it, even though it was completely my fault.

Although I agree about a Kindle and pictures.
I feel that adding abstract meaning to content does objectify the content (in our case, using Lorem Ipsum). I speak English and work with English speakers. The text from classicipsum is only a better option than Lorem Ipsum, it is not ideal; but for us English speakers, the actual English content, in my opinion, catches the eye more realistically. Even the way English is structured, with commas, clauses, punctuation, etc., is captured better in actual English than in a pseudolatin language.

To me it just seems that if you're designing a site for predominantly English visitors, you wouldn't use Polish or Spanish or German text in the design. Yet we use gibberish Lorem Ipsum because well, hey, that's what that other designers do. It just seems wonky to me...

On the other hand, I am working with people in the Netherlands right now. For the Dutch version of their site, I used Dutch content.

It just makes more sense to me. Every language has its own quirks and using real content, especially from literature, captures form and matches reality more than a fake language.
Does anyone else think that it's only a matter of time before IT security is going to be a regulated industry?

I agree with some of the sentiments here regarding launch page copy. I found the repeated use of words like "awesome" a little annoying. I would cut it to to basic "here's what it does and why it's better..." type copy and limit all the hype text.

I gave it a try to figure out what it was about (as others say, this should be explained on the main page) Pretty cool idea, but if I remove the app from my Dropbox, will it still have an index of my public folder? It wouldn't be able to index any new items, but I'm guessing the items in there already will remain in your index. Is this correct?
It's not just hypothetical -- Robert Zubrin describes exactly that scenario when he was an engineer at Lockheed and had to watch his inventions shelved because they would have undercut the costs of the existing launch technology, which prompted him to quit and start his own company. (See his outstanding book "Entering Space: Creating a Spacefaring Civilization".)
this reminds me of the movie hackers.

The reason you are paying lower rates is because the gov't has stepped in and ensured it. Well that and the gov't pays out insurance claims, so it can often limit the huge payouts.

The problem is is that when you benefit one group (young drivers), you're usually making someone else pay the difference (lower risk drivers).

There is no free lunch.

Oh, you want me to turn on Javascript. Why?
That might have been NeXT's goal, but they didn't achieve it.

In the video, Jobs says that three grand is the upper bound on what their polled potential customers are willing to pay. The first NeXT cube had a base price of $6,500.00. They also didn't meet their original deadline either, going over by more than a year.
But I'm sure they have some sort of lockout after 3 or so tries, right?

(Unfortunately, this reads just as valid sarcastically as seriously).

My family has been involved in both mining and construction at various times past and present so I've seen a couple of areas where "cost plus" pricing is used.

Generally speaking, it's a recipe for the provider to stick their snout in the trough as far as it will go. There is absolutely no incentive to lower costs or improve efficiencies. It does indeed become a game of brinkmanship between maximizing costs (profits) and cancellation.

I have seen it used in construction to mitigate risk. One example springs to mind. A particularly wealthy but eccentric individual wanted to build a lavish home. He was notorious for changing his mind, adding to the project and so on. The only way the company in question would touch the construction contract was on a "cost plus" basis.

Whenever you do this you basically have to trust the provider to a certain extent and it only really works if they trade on reputation and a hit to their reputation actually matters (often it doesn't).
Radhanath Swami on being fearless
I haven't played KOTOR2, but I heard it sucked badly.

That said, the character would be right. Both the Jedi and the Sith were... religions, including all the trappings that make religions cause mass murder and other horrible things.

Anakin did bring balance to the force... it caused the destruction of the actual religion that was built up over the past 20 thousand years.

Under Luke's rebuilding of the Jedi Order post-ROTJ, he did not promote emotionless compassion, but instead common sense, which is a super power in its own right.

I mean, after all, he married Mara Jade and had kids, something pre-Anakin would have been a no-no.
