Are any of you guys using DEVONthink to Go with your iPads? I hear it’s very useful for organizing PDFs and notes on the Mac, but the iPad version is somewhat limited by comparison. Is it any good as a stand-alone app if one uses Windows otherwise and can you use PDF Expert to work with PDFs stored inside DEVONthink like you can on the Mac?

I am looking to buy one of the more budget priced rowing machines. My primary interest is in doing HIIT on the rower during the cold months, as it is rather unpleasant to run intervals in the freezing cold. My understanding is that air rowers are generally better in this regard as they require variable effort depending on how fast you pull the string. Unfortunately, they are also somewhat more expensive and, more importantly, much louder.

This has been bothering me for some time now. When would you capitalise coined terms that were derived from brand or company names? At first, this would seem to be pretty straight forward:

I bought a box of Lego for my son. [original term]
I have a pile of Lego [pieces] before me. [original term + omission]

I have one lego in my left hand, but John has two lego
