Here’s the concept behind the smartpen: there are millions of pages of good old fashioned handwritten notes taken every day in business meetings and school lessons around the world. Unfortunately they remain trapped within the confines of the paper they are written upon. But what if you could easily share …

Having taken a look at the blog in question I would advise that the best way to upgrade it would be to press the delete button.

As I stated when [reviewing the Minisuit 3-in-1 Folio Case](http://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/tablets-and-mobile-devices/reviews/477039/review-minisuit-3-in-1-keyboard-folio-case-nexus-7-2013#) for the Nexus 7 2013, the most important things a writer looks for in any keyboard are key travel, spacing and feedback. Obviously a travel keyboard throws some additional requirements into the mix such as weight, size and battery life. …

For a professional writer of any description, there are three things that matter when it comes to the keyboard that they are using: key spacing, key travel and key feedback. The Minisuit 3-in-1 Folio manages, as far as any such small keyboard is ever going to achieve, to get the …

Yes, the vulnerability was just stumbled upon but it is rather rash to suggest that it's 'their problem' if people haven't updated their servers yet. If their servers are serving you, and it's your data that is being potentially accessed now that heartbleed is out in the open, I'd humbly …

For the record (excuse the pun) happygeek does not have a genre. The last record I listened to was 'Dan O'Hara' by The Pikemen (Irish folk), before that 'Needle of Death' by Bert Jansch (sixties singer/songwriter) and before that 'Different People' by Biffy Clyro (Scottish rock outfit).

Your employer does not want you using company resources/time for your personal social networking stuff, that's fair enough. If you do not like it take it up with them or get another job, simple as. Nobody at DaniWeb is going to help you circumvent those restrictions. Sorry.
