Having gone down the rabbit hole of concave keyboards from Kinesis advantage to iterations of self printed dactyl manifolds I ended up at Svalboard too.

Combined with adjustable carrier arms it has enabled me to continue working even post recent shoulder surgery.

Yes it’s an obscene amount of money but it works and enables me to continue earning a living in front of a screen.

In Taiwan people do (e.g. plenty commute from Taoyuan to Taipei city, that's a round trip of > 50km).

For me this has been the case for the power supplies.

First one (came with the original intel macbook pro) actually caught fire due to a short caused by a break in the wires at the base of the brick.

A power supply bought last year is starting to split near the magsafe connector.

With upcoming replacement for ga.js (tracker for Google Analytics) is called analytics.js as well, this confusion is about to get messier.

I bought Apple's dual link adapter (http://store.apple.com/au/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-...) . Was on special at a local store. It's not without problems, particularly awaking from sleep sometimes leading to "static" image blur requiring reconnection of the adapter.

1. I bought mine from green-sum on Ebay, no problems and his feedback is pretty spotless.

2. the Catleap range takes Dual-link DVI, which requires the powered adapter for (I use Apple's one for the MBP, and bought an extra minidisplayport -> displayport adapter for my work laptop).

Have had a Catleap 27" monitor at that resolution for over a year now. Bought for around $360 (including 3 day express shipping to Australia). Highly recommended.

Absolutely agree. Doughnut charts add nothing but a distraction layer.

I would even go further to say that majority of this dashboard is meaningless, just noise. What it lacks is the Why's.. For instance, "Total Page Views" has dropped by 35% in comparison to the previous 4 weeks... why?

The doughnut chart can be reduced to a series of bullet points with a comparative sparkline to identify the main points of change.

I recommend the Catleap monitors, ~$310 shipped from Korea, same LG IPS screens as in 27" Apple Studio monitors.

Have been using mine with a MBA at home, love it.

BI. Looking at the past to guide future strategies.

This would be a lot more useful if you were able to define a sequential path rather than "of the users who went to page x, n also visited page y".
