How would wind turbines for the home or office drive down solar prices? Competition in the market place for alternative sources of energy perhaps?

It's good to see that video games do more than just improve your hand eye coordination. I would have enjoyed grade school and high school a lot more if I had to play some video games for homework.

Disappointed in the article, it gives no info on how the car actually works. Building the car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQfm4IycP7Y Some test driving videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGxnAWVGcNA&feature=relat... http://

It will be interesting to see if anyone made money off of the false information and goes to jail because of it.

The article cited in the NY Times: http://tinyurl.com/6ol8fk Is a bit absurd. While I agree that in some instances it is beneficial to test drugs without a placebo group, the placebo effect has been demonstrated repeatedly. I can't seem

Those are some odd looking little things. It's not hard to imagine that some creatures would be able to withstand the conditions in outer space given the extreme conditions under which some animals live on earth (see extremophile: http://e

Japan has very well defined and strict laws on drug use. When entering the country customs will take any drugs you have that are not prescription (and in your name). They also ask if you have any porn. I find the punishment for the death

Here's link with a few photos: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7595475.stm I was lucky enough to catch a Sumo tournament in Kyoto a couple years ago while I was there. Very interesting sport to watch. I think that I actually saw

While I have to agree with the author that execution is very important and that without great execution you're invention probably won't work out (at least for you), I have to disagree that innovation is a "social disease". The United State

Wow, that's amazing. It looks so life-like! Those engineers got it right on this one like they made it out of some spare human parts.

Is there any reason why a successor to Kim Jong-Il could not take this place if he actually did pass away? It's not like the populace of North Korea is just waiting for him to die so that they can revolt. Or that the communist party would

Seems like an odd idea to me, but what do I know? They need to have the option to speed up the rate at which the text is displayed. It was going way too slow for me and I was getting bored waiting for the next line to show up.

Interesting article, but it seems to me that this is one of those instances where science takes nature farther than it might go on its own. I can't see that these tests prove anything other than that we can induce a reaction between prions

Kinda cool, but also kinda weird. That had to have taken a lot of time. It takes a certain kind of person to go to the effort to put something like that together.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with you. Props for putting together a good service but you can't have a bare bones website these days. That doesn't say that you're too busy to make a good looking website it says that you're not

I agree that the guy is being way harsh, but after looking through some of the sites I wasn't too impressed. If I were an investor I'd want to see a little something more than what I saw today.

"Keep in mind that each of the 70 startups on this list paid $18,000 to get on stage" Are these the only two conventions around that promote start-ups in this manner? $18k isn't completely absurd but it still seems pretty steep for a few p

It's about time they work out a plan to move forward and add some stability to these two companies and the market. I don't like the idea of having the taxpayers foot the bill for all of this mess, but the alternative is even worse (doing n

It would be nice to have the option to buy a small wind turbine for your house. I wonder if this would help drive residential solar prices down. Another interesting wind power solution: http://www.magenn.com/

Interesting story, but where does all of their non-organic waste go now that the waste dump is gone? They probably just have to walk further to throw it away somewhere else. Does anyone have data on the economic feasibility of setting up p

Chrome certainly looks very promising. However it is still lacking many features. Until they get it all put together I doubt that I will be switching. I've also read that IE8 has some nice features that Chrome does not have or doesn't do

I've never been asked something like this in an interview. How much time do they give you to answer something like this?

Is it just me or are most of those ideas a little boring? I don't see anything that would make me get excited as an investor.
