Oh well it must be the case then? Microwaves resonate with water molecules. If the surface is moist it will heat first. If not... Well it won't!

That's a bit much, surely. I think the ethics committee probably didn't do a great job in understanding that this was human research.

Couldn't disagree more. I've used touchscreen laptops and surface for years and if I go back to a non touchscreen portable machine it feels stunted.

I'm a surface pro user. Why does Apple not just put macos on the iPad and then it can go head to head for my business? The comment above said it's not as easy as just sticking macos on them. Why? (Obviously the answer could be the

I think you can totally do what you're saying and the user interface will be great, although local to the speakers. I'm not sure if iPod DAC can actually faithfully process 24/96? If so, that's an option via flac. Once y

You have to have quality on every link in the chain. What's the highest bitrate iPod supports and what are the specs of its DAC?

I've used this for a few years as my main hifi. Runs on a pi with the hifiberry HAT, which sits just behind one of the powered monitors. If you are a bit of an audiophile then this is an extremely cheap way to get very high quality aud

Weight isn't the vector quantity of mass. It's mass times acceleration, e.g. gravitational acceleration, g. In other words, it's a force.

There are a lot of comments in here about how project managers get in the way of good engineering and building a commercial enterprise. I suspect many people only read the first few paragraphs of the article, because this misses the point.

Yeh I'm actually Scottish (I previously said I was British - it's context dependant ;). I always find the English rules around private land quite funny. Camping when cycling or walking in Scotland is way less stressful. Just find

I don’t think you understand how banks earn money. People deposit funds which they then loan to others. The interest they get from the debtors is more then the interest they pay depositors. If everyone repaid their mortgage early they have

This article seems to completely miss the point. Google paid the founders a lot of money to acquire their IP and know how which they will integrate into Glass. Why would google run two identical products? Nonsense article.
