Nice!. I've been wanting to visit Alaska for a while. Mainly to get away from the daily grind and constant hustle-bustle of my busy life.

Right. I was about to point out the same thing. This service already exists and they are in production (I think).

What ? Are you serious or is this some kind of joke that I'm missing. "dehydrated water" !!

Isn't this very similar to Apache Cassandra ? Perhaps with management-automation included.

Damn cancer! All the best to Jonathan, I hope he gets over it soon.

Yeah, I remember that fiasco. What a joke. Apparently they had a lot of scientists and engineers look at their stuff and it never passed muster.

Exactly, just do it for fun. Much can be learned and created that way.

Yeah! ... I saw that movie only a week ago and remember that bit. Audrey Tatou and Chiwetel Ejiofor, I recommend it. [Edit] Its about illegal immigrants in London, their troubles, exploitation and attempts at a better life. It's curre

Just looked at the video - the thief paid for her drink with cash so no chance of tracing via credit/debit-card. The best bet is to try and get a good face shot of her and spread the word around. Unfortunately the video quality does no

Correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't this problem be solved by some simple rules or act of legislation ? For example, make it a rule that when you buy a stock, you have to hold it for at least some time - say a minimum of 5 minut

Waaah! ... several minutes later and I realize what it is by glancing at the start-end date/timestamps. Even the book they linked to seems odd, including all the review statements.

I wonder if the $1100 price is for the dev kit and not an actual retail product.

This is just an initial release/prototype. Pretty sure it will improve with time. Glad to see Sony breaking new ground and also glad that e-ink technology is improving.

Interesting... Is this a play against Google Glass ? I'm not sure how Facebook could benefit from Oculus VR unless they're starting a completely unrelated business (never mind what Zuckerberg says in the post).

Silly article, I wish I hadn't wasted time reading it. Strangely, the author thinks it's an incredible prediction that electric cars and their associated energy-storage technologies will eventually get better, easier to manufactur

This shows promise. Currently thermal imaging cameras are very expensive. This may open up a whole arena of applications if it becomes cheap enough.

The electro/mechanical reason for the plane's troubles may be plausible but I doubt the area in the red circle is where it went down. IMO, it's reasonable at this point to assume the aircraft did not continue along its progra

Indeed. Here's another one : "Luckily I'm not educated," he tells students. "If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future."

Those who aren't from the Subcontinent may not fully appreciate this man's achievement. I'm very impressed by his dedication, perseverance and inspiring outlook on life.

For a poor family in India (and there are many), the short answer is "yes". For a longer answer you may want to consider the personal and social hurdles he had to overcome and that not all gains are measured in money.

Is this real ? It can't be can it ? Isn't it illegal to sell/process human flesh ? Edit - Never mind.

Anyone recall the mapping drones from the recent Ridley Scott film "Prometheus" ? (similar concepts in other films too I think) Combine this with a small smart-ish drone and it could get very interesting.
