All it shows me when I try to view models or customize is a message saying no models are available at this time.

I don't see a 5th-generation listing under Lenovo's products pages. Does anyone know what the release date will be?

Edit: closest hit I can find is a rumored launch at CES in a few weeks -- http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/leaked-new-lenovo-thinkpa...

jaymoorthi··on How the Sugar Industry Shifted Blame to Fat
In my (limited) experience, canker sores are an allergic reaction. Raw pineapples make the inside of my mouth tingly, and then voila: canker sores. I stopped eating raw pineapple, and I've not had a canker sore since.

jaymoorthi··on Canvas: Notes for teams of nerds
It feels a lot like Hackpad, which is great.

One of the main issues we had with Hackpad, though, was that the collaborative editing led to it being used for note-taking with third-parties, and it was really easy to inadvertently share a document by putting it into a space that was public or shared.

What are your plans with Canvas to make sharing easy within a team, and but less error prone for sharing outside?

jaymoorthi··on My boss decided to add a “person to blame” field to every bug report
Maybe you could build up confidence working on something else -- an open source project, for example -- that has better personal dynamics. You get something to be proud of, a clear demonstration of your skills, and you've helped the community.
jaymoorthi··on It's a long life in the small Valley
Great post. When I started working in Silicon Valley over a decade ago, as a fresh graduate from college, I heard, "It's a small Valley" more than I can count. I smiled and nodded, and I didn't really understand how true this statement is.

Every year my career continues, I appreciate it more. Technology companies -- successful ones, at least -- are built around the magic of assembling extremely talented people and focusing their attention on the same set of problems. Companies don't last, but talent usually does, and people grow.
