"Dr. Travis Bradberry Coauthor Emotional Intelligence 2.0"
Emotional intelligence. WTF is that.
My wife is both emotional and intelligent, just never at the same time.

I've had to quit caffeine because it screws with my sleep and depresses me.
I find I don't get those effects with hard cider.

"If you do choose to lower your caffeine intake, you should do so slowly under the guidance of a qualified medical professional. "
LOL you need a doctors permission to stop drinking coffee. Further proof that any idiot can get a PHD with enough time and money to throw at a school.

I went to check on a contact's details via LinkedIn and it had the normal request for endorsements. In this case the question was does he know about Beer?

Ah, Linkedin is getting to know all about you!

No sticky post with a link to the iPhone6 presentation ?
The first iPhone presentations were interesting for the innovative technologies. This one will be interesting to see how someone who is not Steve Jobs can sell thin air.

I (honestly !) was waiting for the first one to make a comment as you did. I am not disappointed.

Selling Fin air? Wasn't that Nokia's job?

Let's face it: for people who know their way around a computer/computer network (i.e. can actually do stuff with files without having to connect to bloatware like itunes), iphones and ipads are little more than toys, so the interest level around here shouldn't be that high.

Why is it that it is so difficult to get a waterproof tablet/phone that one can use while in the pool? I travel a lot around equator and enjoy being in the pool most of the time working online og talking into the phone. I have washed away 3 cellphones now.

Thank you. At first glance both links seems like phones only. No laptops and no lightweight tablets as far as I can see. That makes programming while floating around on my inflateable beach toy or madress both difficult and expensive in case of wetting it. That was what I was mostly getting at in the first place. You have to have a certain technique to get up without splashing water all over the Lenovo keyboard - this is really difficult! I know it sounds a little silly picturing this, but it's a real pain i the butt in a 100 degree fahrenheit environment.

If you want laptops look at Panasonic Tough Books[^] or Dell's ruggedized Lattiude[^] series; and then decide it's cheaper to just drown a laptop once a year or so.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yaa thanx' that was my conclusion too. Thinking about it it is a little strange that the components inside a normal laptop cant stand the "rain". After all resistors, capasitors etc. are all sealed so what can water possible do to them? If one was folding origami animals I could understand - but the laptop is rock solid to my knowledge - but it stops working after just one trip to the bottom of the pool!

"Plink plink fizz" was a very successful tablet campaign, in the UK, a few years back. Perhaps they're hoping to match the results of that.
