Hopefully a direct thought/muscle tension interpreter will become feasible and eliminate the need for this argument. It would also eliminate common cases of RSI.

What else, in your opinion, makes that short list? Fried chicken comes to mind for me, although Korean fried chicken may have surpassed the traditional US creation.

If anything, the traffic monitoring and rerouting capabilities of a smartphone were worth it for me. I broke my iPhone and downgraded to brick. After the first traffic jam I got stuck in, I decided to grab a used iPhone on eBay. I could use

Forgive my naivete (I have a passing knowledge about diet), but isn't 'complex polysaccharides' more or less a synonym for 'complex carbohydrates' (excluding oligosaccharides)? I feel that most readily available refined/processed food is lo

I believe your theory is essentially peak oil: When the price of extraction exceeds demand. Oil will still be there, but it would be economically unfeasible to tap, especially with the rise of alternative fuels.

Did you read the article? Extremetech seems to believe that it's a flaw in the adonizing process: "Schiller must be referring to the fact that anodization simply isn’t strong enough to withstand everyday use. We know this isn’t the case, th

I really like the stores. They have a refreshing vibe that's in contrast to the Apple store's minimalism. The Kinects, Xboxes, and Surfaces also bring in a pretty diverse crowd since there's an addition of a gaming aspect. There's a wraparo

I see, thanks for the clarification. I live in the US, and TomTom is generally pretty reliable here as far as the software and data goes.

"The issue isn't the Maps application, it's the dataset which in part comes from TomTom." ... "Depends entirely on how the data is being used" One statement contradicts my statement, and the other supports it.

Tomtom might just be spouting BS (and I doubt it because they've made GPS's for years), but from the article: "User experience fully depends on the choices these manufacturers make." "We are confident about our map quality, as selling 65 mi

Why didn't they just buy TomTom with their war chest instead of building in-house? It seems to me like they would be familiar with navigation software. Ultimately I imagine that Apple will get Maps solid eventually, but not delivering a sol

Your example doesn't apply because death is the ceiling. It's impossible to kill someone twice, so ultimately it makes no difference to the criminal. However, if the criminal gets 5 years for stealing a bike, and 10 years for beating someon

This image reminds me of starting in the morning: sun's up, there's plenty to do, let's get started. On another note, I would love to hear the sound of whatever Martian breeze is blowing while Curiosity's wheels crunch over the gravel.

I think the company manages it for you for the length of the deal and you cash out at the end. Good question about what happens afterwards.

The cost of a driver vs someone who sleeps in a truck and gets people to sign papers might still be a substantial cost savings. Who knows? If there needs to be a human, maybe 'truckers' end up riding along in an autonomous vehicle for low w
