Android: Love it/Hate it
It's stories like this that make me wonder whether I should ban Android phones from our environment. Let's start with the numbers: 400+ and 1,000,000,000. It seems that "A billion or more Android devices are vulnerable to hacks that can turn them into spying tools by exploiting more than 400 vulnerabilities in Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip, researchers reported this week." The good news is "Qualcomm has released a fix for the flaws..." and the bad news is "but so far it hasn't been incorporated into the Android OS or any Android device that uses Snapdragon."

Home Office Ergonomics
I thought I had done a great job picking out a desk chair almost four years ago when I first setup my home office. And for the amount of time I used it back then, it was a good chair. Now with as much use as it gets, I'm thinking, I made at best, I made an ok-good choice. But with the new house came a new office, new furniture and lighting. Out went the books as monitor stands and in came a sleek new monitors and laptop arm. Not a lot of people had the time or luxury to think about their home offices, "good enough" was the standard. Sean Gallagher has a thoughtful post on things to consider in your office to move it to the next level of "good enough."

You can't please everyone
Rick Georges writes about stoicism a fair amount. In that vein, I'm not sure how he found this 1997 video clip of Steve Jobs at the Worldwide Developer Conference, but it's a great one. Listen to Jobs explain to an upset attendee why you can't please all of the people all the time. And why starting with the user experience trumps starting with technology. Words to live by.
