It's a monochrome version of RED's digital cinema camera, the EPIC-M. The regular version of this camera retails for US$39500. The higher retail price is possibly due to the lower demand for a monochrome only version. The EPIC-M is capabl

Despite the fact that my Kindle is running Linux, etc, I prefer to see it as an appliance for reading rather than a general purpose computing device. I find the screen too slow even for web browsing. It's without a doubt the best ebook re

It's mildly amusing that makr.io (their YC side project) has a "sign up with Facebook" button, but no "sign up with Diaspora" option.

How many characters does it allow per message? From the screenshots, it looks like 256. Is this correct? Thanks.

The article describes this as being like a fork. For example, choosing between OpenOffice and LibreOffice, or ffmpeg and libav. Both are the current version, but with different ideas and implementation. If two groups are editing a book ab

I don't like to place too much hope on these periodic doublings going on forever, but it seems that we are on the upward part of the solar PV s-curve right now: http://gregor.us/solar/world-solar-power-goes-parabolic/

They're here: http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-Technology-2-5-Inch-Performance-OC... AFAICT, the OCZ Octane is the only 1TB 2.5" drive on the market, but I suspect you'll start to see more of these later this year (at slightly more sensible pric

A few years ago, there was talk of producing chips with three dimensional stacks of NAND cells (for example, http://www.semi.org/en/node/38361?id=sgurow0811 ). Has there has been any movement on this front? Every article I can find on t

Just a slight correction: Black Mirror was produced for Channel 4 (as opposed to the BBC).

I think some big money needs to go into subvocal recognition (if it isn't being heavily invested in already). Devices like these will be a lot more attractive if they can be used without speaking out aloud.

The full set of information needed to model the c elegans worm seems to still be incomplete (see apl's reply), but if you want to monitor the progress of one such attempt at in silico simulation, take a look at the Openworm project ( http:

From what I understand, it's used as a scriptable editor in UNIX automation. It may not be used that often, but it's something I think people expect to be there when a particular piece of behaviour is desired. (Not that I've ever used it

I quite like the 'l' here. It solves the conundrum of how to differentiate the 'l' and '1' quite nicely. I've so far stuck with Courier for monospace work (coding, console, etc), as I find sans-serif fonts hard to read (this is also why I

Does D not aim to fill this niche? (I suppose in terms of exposure and infrastructure, D is lacking relative to C and C++).

What I find disturbing is that exchanging contact data between mobile devices has become more complicated rather than less.

Ideally, I'd like a "no one can tag you and you will never be asked to approve a tag" setting, but I will give the approval option a go.

That's correct. The data was also extracted using probes under a microsope in this case. From Dr Decapitator's page: "The data was extracted by laser-cutting the top two ROM bits from the actual CPU logic (so it would read all opcodes as O

For clarity: The upper house (the House of Lords) is appointed, rather than elected. The instant runoff voting was used to select which hereditory peers would be allowed to remain sitting in the house after the number of sitting hereditory

As a parallel example, there are states in America where the only off-licences (liquor stores) permitted to operate are the state run monopoly. My understanding of the reasoning behind this is centred around morality, although I imagine the

Using Opera Mini seems to disable this "feature". Of course, doing so means all of my web traffic goes via Oslo. And of course, any apps using an http API are presumably affected too. I'm rather disappointed to hear about this.

My favourite usecase for QR codes are the links to a web site showing realtime bus arrival times you see at bus stops that don't yet have a realtime arrivals sign up. You can type the web address in manually too, of course, but the QR code

Indeed. As a customer, if I want to know how to get in contact with someone at a later date, the quickest and most convenient way to obtain that information is still to ask for a business card. Noting down an email address and making sure
