One of the comments suggest it was the result of lithium mining... "These sites clearly represent the process of lithium mining and extraction. Sedimentation trenches are dug to extract lithium iron phosphate to create batteries." Sounds r

If regulated properly it isn't entirely a pretense. Regulation isn't 100% effective, but it can make a huge difference. Bangkok probably isn't the best example of a transparent and corruption free economy.

That is f *ing remarkable. In Australia there are strict rules governing conflict of interest. If there is even a hint of someone gaining financial benefit through their position they are hounded by the press and their political opposition

I'm no engineer, but I imagine there would be substantial energy loss through the movement within the wheel. Not to mention lack of traction with the road. Looks like another solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Bicycle wheels are ligh

Why couldn't this have linked directly to the Microsoft site? tideart.com didn't offer any particularly interesting or insightful explanation or analysis.

"I'm really disappointed that Adobe didn't even provide some sort of gradual migration strategy" . This might not be much of a consolation, but I'm sure they'll be offering a solution in the form of an alternative product that will be fami

Steve Jobs aside, that's a pretty weak argument. I never knew Idi Amin or Moa Tse Tung personally (I'm not comparing them to Steve Jobs), and while they made some contributions, it's no reason not to make criticisms of them.

On the subject of Steam can someone answer this question for me regarding Steam's pricing... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3229558 I used to get around the problem in my country by using a VPN, but that no longer seems to work/

Perhaps the title should have read "Flex is terminal..." But you'd be splitting hairs. The eventual outcome remains the same.

Not to mention "...many of the engineers and product managers who worked on Flex SDK will be moving to work on our HTML efforts." I think the post title is pertinent.

IMO Flash is a great tool to develop a familiarity with certain useful concepts including frame based animation, tweening, basic programming and even OOP.

But don't you get the feeling this is the beginning of the end? Obviously Adobe aren't going to abandon desktop or 'real' Flash without a viable alternative Adobe offer. After all plenty of industries are still highly dependent on Flash. Es

That trailer is straight out of the 90's. Cliche stock shots run through cheap filters in between attention grabbing soundbites. The documentary clearly has some interesting subject matter and interviewees. Why couldn't they have just run s

If this is going to reduce consumption globally, then this is good news IMO. One of the best things we can do for the planet is consume and import less crap. On a kind of unrelated note, I'm hoping that the digital economy starts to really

"Charlie didn't make $20M for cooking, he made $20M for taking the risk that the company he was joining would fail" This succinct sentence sums it up for me perfectly. His ability and contribution aside, a gamble was made and it paid off.

Can someone let the guys over at The Verge( http://www.theverge.com/ ) know? That layout is driving me nuts. Which is a shame because they have some talented writers.

"The data, as it turns out, had a different story to tell…" No, it doesn't. The data shows that different levels of performance are directly related to the amount of time invested in practice. The author seems to have attempted to re-interp

Style, decoration and usability are not mutually exclusive. As with many disciplines they can co-exist beautifully. Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings wouldn't look much chop if he hadn't taken style into consideration.

What I find most interesting about this, is that the bones were originally thought to have come from Neanderthals. Now that they've been proven to be human, doubt has been cast on the assumption that Neanderthals shared some of the modern c

The article discusses the possibility of a Windows tablet that might sit alongside devices like the iPad. Reducing the argument to this dichotomy of "the iPad is great, everything else fails" is exactly what the article aims to counter. Th
