IIRC, what's expanding is the distance between particles. Technically, the particles in your ears are moving farther apart, but the forces that keep your ears attached to your head then conspire to keep them in approximately the same spot.

I suspect this is more of a branding issue. Macbook Pro is a relatively memorable name; U36Jc took me longer to type than the rest of this sentence, let alone remember (I won't). Apple is better at being the original-design-brand, even if t

Pretty sure it started as an insult and became an industry term after the fact...

See DADT for how the military can easily be biased against people it doesn't like while only applying to the military...

An adventure game in the Borderlands art-style (and perhaps the world) would be pretty fantastic.

Fast history browsing is plenty useful when undoing a closed tab. Not sure if Safari does this, but on Firefox if you undo a closed tab, the tab comes back exactly as it was before, with history intact. I use that feature quite a bit.

You have to remember that corporate mobile is bizarro land. Wanting Internet freedom is an ulterior motive from their perspective.

I got nailed by some Whitesmoke Translator malware that seemed to re-appear every time Acrobat updated. I eventually just wiped my HD and upgraded to windows 7 which I had been putting off for a while. Nothing like a good virus to convince

I mean application from the user perspective, i.e. you don't go: "Hey I'll start up Flash and do something with it." Other things start Flash, the user never just starts Flash on their own.

I'm still a Firefox devotee, so I don't have first-hand experience with Chrome. However, I'm not sure there's a good way for Flash to provide that kind of seamless update experience in the same way. It's not an application in itself, so it

Ever since 10.1 the Flash updater is ridiculously fast and never asks me to restart my system. Easily the best automatic update experience among the various programs that constantly need to update themselves.

I think that's part of the point of the graph. Yes 'we beat Canada' but not by enough that it matters at all.

I imagine the colors were chosen so that the US sticks out. It's not a general information chart. It's a god-look-how-terrible-the-US-is chart.

I just did the same and somehow ended up back at the page linked to in this submission... edit: okay, just got to the same document you did. Apparently microsoft considers 'release notes' to be 'notes about the process of releasing' which t

The single greatest tool for raising living standards is human ingenuity, which has been around for thousands upon thousands of years longer than capitalism has been around. Capitalism has its pros, but it also has substantial cons, and it

If you actually read up on Somalia you'll find that in many places they're actually doing just fine with no government. The places with problems are 1) the places controlled by the pretend government, and 2) the places where UN&co try t

$30/night is roughly $11000 a year, which is almost 3 times more than I pay in Pittsburgh for my share of a nice house. If there really is no way to cut those costs in NYC, the answer is to get out of NYC.

This 'Modern Browser' stuff is getting kind of old. The question is relatively meaningless, but if it were meaningful, the answer would be more complex than something you can diagram in ~5 minutes.

Of course it's not fair. The question is whether Watson's advantages are offset by its disadvantages.

iBooks doesn't even make any sense, considering Kindle came first by a longshot. iBooks is only there to turn the iPad into a (poor) Kindle substitute.

I would just about sell my soul to get on FiOS instead of comcast here in Pittsburgh. I was looking into CLEAR, but then I read about them throttling anyone who downloaded more than 8 gigs in a month, so that was straight out. Way to nerf t
