You can build swap stations incrementally though just like they are building these supercharging stations, so I don't see what the difference is, other than swapping is quicker/better.

30 minutes to charge...still puzzled why Tesla has gone with the recharge model rather than the battery swap model ala Better Place.

Entertainment is a method by which people acquire cultural facts, knowledge, even wisdom and philosophy. It easily extends to picking up domain specific knowledge as well, episodes often center around a scientific/technical subject which al

Entertainment can be equated to information in a practical sense though.

Simple, for every user that the hackers have, try their password for the associated email account, guaranteed they will gain access to many email accounts. Now they have access to their banking accounts.

How could there not be prior art for this? I know that patents are more specific than the title of the patent, but if the patent isn't general enough to cover prior cases of blocking common passwords, then the patent doesn't even protect an

Well you do know what it is, you just want a pic before it passes. Otherwise, it's just easier and more efficient.

And that's not dedicated, so you have to launch the app any time you want to take a picture, so you miss photo opportunities doing that. Dedicated is like Windows Phone where pressing the button takes a picture, regardless of the app you're

No, I mean't like Windows Phone, the camera button takes a picture automatically regardless of the app your in.

No dedicated Camera button. Apple sacrificing usability for design once again.

This behaves erratically. Sometimes it considers the coordinates link, above the entire article the "first link" (in the "Michael Phelps" chain), sometimes not (Chicago). Consequentially, I believe "Michael Phelps", when the coordinate link

Seems like the cost of slower adoption isn't worth the upside to spam control, given that that's a relatively small problem for sites like these with proper IP control and user moderation. Lower quality comments is the bigger problem and th

They didn't "get" Obama at all. He has so far answered a total of 10 questions, all of them canned, standard set pieces from his campaign that you could have just as easily read off his website. And he wasn't even the one interacting with t

Pretty weak, typical round-about answers that you'd expect from any politician. Not what AMA has come to expect, and what's the proof that it's actually Obama writing the answers and not some intern or campaign staffer?

He pretty much didn't misunderstand anything about patents or copyright law in the post. And regardless, his overall point is correct: Apple is being a bully through abusing the flawed patent system for selfish, even short-sighted gain.

Yeah, it's just the difference isn't clear from the model name.

The 32VD is bigger/thicker than the 31 models and has a hybrid HD(24GB flash) rather than full SSD. It's got a dedicated graphics so I guess it's just targeted towards a different market.

Asus Zenbook Primes seem to be a very high quality Ultrabook series as well (be wary of the differences between 32VD/32A and 31 models) Also, the Zenbook Primes mostly have 1920x1080 resolutions. While the X1 Carbon was upgraded from a piti

Too few votes for the number of comments. Lack of feedback is disenfranchising (unless you fake vote counts for comment-makers to see, which could have a worse effect of giving the wrong signals.) Also, you can't count on there being propor
