The article is there as a background to the video, which is all first person. The heading shows the filmmakers behind it, another clue that the video is the subject of the title.

Yep I'm well aware of burn-in issues. And the screen I have is just a dumb monitor; it has no interpolation feature so the 600Hz claim is what the display is theoretically capable of, though it's different from LCD refresh: http:

I'm really glad I didn't wait to purchase my 600Hz plasma screen. Got it for an incredible deal and the image quality and color reproduction (dark scenes especially) are off the charts. These days other screens just can't com

That's a bit like saying that all Xbox users should count towards Windows numbers.

My earliest memory was when I was about 2 years old, so it's not surprising that this could be true. Yes, it could be the case that the mother's retelling of the story is now the basis for Tom's "memory", but why ab

"This move towards stronger encryption was largely brought about by the revelations of now-exiled NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden..." It's encouraging to see publications referring to him as a whistleblower.

As a mere point of interest, that is logically equivalent to: When not only the criminals have X, then X is not illegal.

It takes Saturn 15 years to do an "about face" so that it's on the opposite side of the Sun. Perhaps Microsoft's code base, when printed out, is as massive as a planet.

She was mortified about the reporter's story and she was apparently shaken up during the interview with the reporter, who quotes her as saying: “I’m sorry,” she said. “I’m just still really shaken up. That’s never happened to m

I'm not sure what you mean by private search shortcuts. Would this be a search box that you type something, press ENTER, and it does a search in a normal tab or I could do something else to make it search in a private tab? Or something

There were a few annoyances with Safari that I never really liked such as the inability to search for text within the page. In verifying whether this is still an issue, I managed to locate the "Find on Page" option hidden in the &

Yes, due to convenience (and app limitations). I want to be able to open an incognito window, do a search, and close the tab and have all history wiped. In iOS Chrome, because the least unacceptable search engine option is Google, this mean

Perhaps, but Chrome's configurable search engines are all unacceptable. As Firefox has DuckDuckGo as a configurable option and DuckDuckGo doesn't track you (so no HTML5 local storage issues to deal with), it's a great workaro

I'm going to have to try this to see if Firefox's privacy is better. I currently use Chrome on iOS and was very disappointed to discover that it remembers Google searches that you do within incognito mode, completely breaking all

The vested equity clearly has value to both you and to them. You should not return it without compensation commensurate to that value. If they were serious about starting a new company, they would have done that already. They likely have no

So, four years in, the reliability of your Toyota is exactly the same as it was with the Kia? No problem?

Even if all this is true, the fact that it contains no references to sections of the TPP that one can independently verify makes the entire article useless.

The news media don't have access to British Telecom's internal systems, so any hacking they do is outside of internal security controls. Here, BT != bluetooth (which may indeed be the attack vector for many hacks).
