Selection bias, perhaps. Sure, there will be a small amount of miscalibrated machines. And a smaller amount will happen to be miscalibrated to select the wrong candidate. But you'll only ever hear about those latter cases. The others wi

For their... two listings I see in Port. Granted, the do have quite a few more in Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. But the latter two weren't hit nearly as badly.

> Bugs were planted in the PIN pads... Fascinating. I wonder how these "bugs" worked. More information here would be great.

I'm sure it wouldn't be unlike assessors for home value property tax. A bit trickier, but I'm sure it's doable.

On iPhone, it's indexed. #4 for me. Four painstakingly slow swipes to the right.

That's exactly the kind of thinking that the original article is arguing against! It doesn't matter what shape or size or gender or even the number of pins a connector has! The biggest restriction on getting Thunderbolt on an iOS device

As someone who has looked into building something like this, a subscription makes a lot of sense. These GTFS feeds are (generally) a huge mess. Cleaning them up into a dataformat you can use is tons of work. And with all the cities changi

That, at least, is quite easily discoverable by a nieve user.

> "storing coordinates on a cue (jumping twice?)" Jumping twice? No! Three clicks of the heels together, of course! It has the added advantage of being more stereotyped and should be easier to detect.

Very cool. I think I find "Side B" much easier to see. Don't miss it! (drag to "flip" it over). I wonder if there's a good way to add some intuitive discoverability to that feature...

Kinda sorta. See the tech specs page[0] and the LTE compatibility page[1]. There are actually three different models. All three have 3G GSM/EDGE support. But they support different LTE bands. And only the CDMA model adds the CDMA fre

Do you have a source for Google's promise of a new iOS maps app? I can't find anything. That said, even if they do submit one immediately, I'm afraid Apple will tie it up in review for a month or two to allow their version to gain a userba

Indeed. Since it's simply copy-pasted from Nature News[0] (with attribution), it may be worthwhile to read it there directly. I didn't understand that the ratio of import was sqp(abc)^r / c until I clicked through to the original story. [0

That is almost certainly a fake. Lines 7-21 don't sum to line 22. The zip code is the zip for the Romney campaign, not Romney's home.

More revenue? It's not clear how the $10K promise works (the official site[0] doesn't have the T&C populated yet[1]), but there's surely some time within which you must earn between $1k and $10k. After that time, I'd guess that more p

The UDIDs are valid. The leak is certainly real. The claimed source, however, may be suspect.

That's exactly what TFA says! Indeed, it points to something even more fundamental: the APIs (both userland and kernel driver space) move too quickly and are fragmented. That's why both drivers are difficult and why desktop apps are diff

Ah, cool! Awesome picks. It still seems silly to need to reload the page a bunch of times to see all the choices. Little thumbnails underneath the blank postcard back would work perfectly, I think. And you could clearly show which one i

What's the front of the postcard like? It'd be awesome if I could choose from a few different designs... or even upload my own image! Great idea!

That font is very difficult to read with OS X's font rendering[1]. I think it's too thin, causing strange antialiasing effects. [1]: http://i.imgur.com/BkyPv.png

But does Android use context clues? iOS can't quite handle the two-letter distance, but it accurately corrects "kryywt" (kry u wt is too far away) without any context.

No, the museum did not get funded. The campaign to raise funds to (hopefully?[1]) purchase the land for a museum got funded. There's a long ways to go before this is a reality. [1]: There's another interested buyer. My read on it is that

FlightFox allows you to specify frequent flyer miles and apparently some experts do take that into account.

I wonder how well the crash-sensing technology works. In a car, it's dead simple: you notice a rapid deceleration and you can inflate the airbags while the crumple zones are crumpling. There are no crumple zones in your head. Yes, you do
