I hope it works out enough that they have reasons to bring a more mainstream consumer version in the next 3-5 years.

that would be super interesting – wish the app itself did it though, not sure I could take manual notes on my progress.

It would be interesting to track how many words you read on each device and see how that changes over time.

I’m curious what the lease prices will be — since nobody really knows the residual & resale value on cars like these.

Any indication of pricing or a production ETA?

Comment on Sync Skype Chat History on Multiple Machines With Dropbox by Wade McNary

I switched Macs, and wanted to transfer my Skype chats to the new machine. I moved the folder username/Library/Application Support/skypename from the old computer to the new one, but the chat history did not appear in Skype. Any idea how to do this?

Comment on Video: The Nest Learning Thermostat by racerrick

The features are pretty cool. I live in an old home and I am CONSTANTLY adjusting the thermostat. Scheduling it doesn’t work.

So if it does what they say, in my ancient house with radiant heat… it’s worth it.

But it also looks pretty sweet.

the star power definitely helps.

but overall, I love products and companies that are going after a huge market where the current “winners” are creating mediocre products. That seems to be perfectly the case here …
