Another company had these for sale at our local home show 3 weeks ago, functionality and movement is identical.

Watching the video the bike looks to be inherently unstable even when rolling forward. The rider is using his body to control the direction of the rear wheel and corners look pretty shaky if you don't keep the alignment right. It may have

This is somewhat off topic but I have found it mildly humourous lately that Google is building self driving cars but they chose "Google Drive" as the name for a completely unrelated product.

Perhaps I'm too resistant to change but I don't really see why the Start Menu had to be removed. The new Metro UI is great for touch based interaction but I can't believe it would have been that much work to retain the start menu as well a

Love this, already found a great new artist I love. Well done. Another vote for a little more info on where the track was found so information on the artist can be chased down.

I don't have a true Ultrabook but I do have a Sony Vaio Z with a 13.3" 1920x1080 screen in it. I run it full resolution in Windows 7, with everything scaled down to standard size. Is everything very small? Yes. But when I'm sitting in f

It's the landing sequence on this that has me spooked. Not that I doubt the engineering behind it but wow, to put something this heavy on the planet they had to come up with a fairly complex sequence as the 7 Minutes of Terror video explai

"...and we hope that the city saying it will not buy Apple products will make Apple reconsider its participation" Not sure Apple is willing to reverse their current design trend over this. They would have to move away from 'cutting edge' d

I agree with the concern for cascading failures but I'm not sure I agree with the comment re: Air France. There was no error cascade there as far as I can see. The pitot tubes froze and the when the aircraft lost airspeed data it did what

'When people walk into the room with a predetermined pitch that they're determined to stick to, things usually end badly.' Yes and no depending on where you place the emphasis. Predetermined pitches are not a bad thing... know what you do,

Wow... late to this article but can only add one thing. The OP is me... (not literally but figuratively in every way). 42 in a week... a whole lot of 'shoulda/coulda' behind me and feeling like an unaccomplished elder in a field of succe

Have been waiting for this to come to Android for awhile now but sadly it doesn't seem to want to install on my Nexus One. Says it only requires Android 2.3.3+ and I have 2.3.6. Oh well, add another reason on the pile to replace this phone

A couple issues pop to mind. My understanding was that this update took a week(+?) to roll out and may still be in progress. It could take them awhile to even start to roll back. Then if you do roll back what do you do about all the peop

Sometimes it seems to me that FB doesn't have an impact assessment process. This is a very important data change you're making to 900-ish million records on a system that is inter-woven with and syncing to... everything. I understand bugs

Ok, so in turn I would blame the "User Confusion" on Facebook's decision to change everyone's public facing email address (without warning or consent) which then pushed the email into a system many of the users have never even touched. (and

Oh I would like to have my hands on one of those! Hours and hours of things to explore with a toy like that. Is Google making them available elsewhere? They have a website with guides regarding working with it but I'm not seeing a page t

If you look further into my comment you'll see I mention when 2.1 comes out. I doubt they will be back-porting 2.1 features into 1.9, and thus the time limit.

There is a simple solution for that, add it to your bill / launch estimates. Every client I have had always understands when you say "It'll cost X to support that, or it'll bump your launch date 2 weeks". They may not understand the techn

I don't know if I can get behind this or not. I understand their desire but I don't see this as a viable option just yet. I'm not so concerned with 2.0 and 1.9 as you can load the right one, but what about when 2.1 comes out? Are they go

I run FireFox Aurora on all my mobile devices now and finally mobile browsing is what I have always wanted it to be. It's very fast, renders very nicely including CSS3 niceties, has Flash support (yes, still handy), and the new UI is well

Brilliant... This is going in every software license and terms agreement I write from here on out. What a tremendous insurance policy if I perhaps hit on the next Facebook. 1/7th of the planet responsible for saving lil ol' me.
