5 depends on where you work :)
It goes to show that a man's love knows no boundaries of current science and technology. Innovation driven by determination can change fates. One of the best dads ever.
I know what I want for Christmas! I am not an artist but like to doodle. I have an Intuos4 but being tethered to my computer and confined to a graphics editing program is a lot of overhead for me (not an artist) when I want to get something digital done. I can see this being able to freely create web site mockups and wireframes, rough logo work, annotations, etc. I think this will fit into my workflow. I like the promise of being able to utilize this without having to be near my computer.
This is a grossly-skewed assessment of the interface. Wouldn't the under utilization of features warrant an analysis WHY they are not being used? Wouldn't there also be a UX overhaul to make those features/commands/buttons/menus more approachable? The data and infographics would only be relevant if they were based upon the Win8 redesign.

Another thing that is weighing on my mind, what is the security on this sandbox?

Exactly, and only, what this is: a subject with a clear call to action instead of a subject that seems to indicate that this email was generated as an auto-response to a previous action and contained a body that did not require user interaction.

Thanks for your response. I will check into those solutions you have posted. My initial Google searches exhausted with nothing of discernible value and I suppose I'm anxious to hear about how others bridged the gap.

Ask HN: Leap to entrepreneur: How to do medical insurance?

I am a married 30-something American with 2 young children at home. Recently, I have been in committed talks to go the route of an entrepreneurial path instead of working for a large (and relatively secure) corporation. My main concern is that if someone is sick, I want them to be able to go to the doctor without bankrupting my account. I understand that choosing to be an entrepreneur has...

The site looks great! The favicon should be a one-off of the donut instead of a scaled down version w/ those colors. It appears a muddied.

Your fat footer could host more content, also. The bottom-right logo could stand to be larger.
