There are good reasons to be skeptical of machines grading essays. Their algorithms can't distinguish between arguments supported by factual evidence and cases built on canards. They're reliable enough to dock points for clichés, but they're not subtle enough to reward subtlety.
If you were thinking of buying a MacBook Air in the near future, you might want to get yourself to Best Buy this weekend: The big box store is holding...
Throughout the past few years, there has been a surge in mobile technology. The message is clear: The modern cloud-based lifestyle demands thinner and lighter.
Lots of people are asking me what's on my wish list this holiday season. For me, the list is pretty modest: I'd like a Tesla Model S electric touring sedan. You'd like one too - they are simply awesome! But, since that's not in the cards, here are the top five tech gifts I'd give.
Until last January, I was happily carrying a Lenovo X300 lightweight notebook PC but decided it was time to get a MacBook Air and, until today, I hadn't looked back.

Mac sales in its most recent quarter were up despite the popularity of the iPad. One reason sales surged is two new MacBook Air laptops, which in my opinion are the best portable PCs on the market.
Because it has no moving parts, the flash memory in some new computers has big advantages over the spinning media used in hard drives. Reading and writing data is much faster and more reliable.
Laptop PCs are back in the news and, as usual, Steve Jobs gets the credit.
Here's my story, the story of how I'm making it in front of, and behind, the scenes in the world today. Maybe some will be inspired to continue to reach for their goals. Maybe others will understand that it's tough all over.
