No, what's scary is that there are people who think radiation is measured in cubic millimeters (m^-3). I'm not about to claim it's a well-made chart, but nobody should be drawing any conclusions from any chart without knowing what it's me

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be concluding from this. The first link is just a list of profiles/interviews with various employees of the company (the newest being over a year old). Strictly speaking, it's possible that some of them are

Compare to Microsoft's plugins for Chrome[1] and Firefox[2], which have to actually override the <video> tags with WMP embeds because Google and Mozilla don't provide any mechanism for the user to extend codec support. [1] http://w

Why not put a few tens or hundreds of billions (a tiny fraction compared to TARP or how much the US spends on the military) in to research in to these technologies to make them less dependent on rare earths? How do you know how much somet

I think there is an important part of the story missing between: "If I wasn't blocked from the position I deserved..." and "...patrol officers came into my house to accuse me of being a terrorist."

I think the popularity of games/entertainment/killing time apps on the iPad is more a reflection of the popularity of those tasks on personal computers in general. For most people this is all they do with a laptop at home, and it's not infr

I don't think Apple was really trying to pitch office applications on the iPad as an example of what you would do with it, but to be an example of what you could . As if to say: "Don't think of this as just a toy, just a gadget, just a b

Every year the press makes it sound like a race, or that being exploited first is somehow worse than being exploited later in the day. The fact is that time slots are assigned randomly: http://twitter.com/VUPEN/status/40078022325444608

That's how you should read it. That you think otherwise means they already managed to indoctrinate you that far... What doctrine are you beholden to that gives you the right to declare someone "indoctrinated" if they don't interpret thing
