What is the simplest system we know that produces unexpected results? Conway's Game of Life comes to mind. Would there be a surprise if we just gently shake 1 billion 2x4 lego blocks?

I remember hearing rumors back in the day that MS dragged its leg with ES4 because they didn't want the browser to be powerful enough runtime to compete with Windows. Mind you that Flesh with AS3+E4X aka Flex was powerful enough to run

It would take Apple just one change in ToC to exclude something from the software switch. Firstly it would be only law enforcement, then diagnostic features, then selected trusted partners, then anyone with money. If you think Apple would n

I find it interesting that no culture used the binary system. It allows to count to 1024 on 10 fingers.
