This is literally more than a decade overdue. The very first "sucks" site I ever heard of was none other than paypalsucks.com way back in the early 2000s, and even at that time it heavily documented this and many other issues with PayPal's

Yeah I think the lighting in the scenes that take place in Bilbo's home tends to look bad even in the 2D standard-def 24fps trailers you can find online. It really doesn't have anything to do with HFR.

From now on, frame rate will be just like aspect ratio: another choice for the filmmaker. Some movies will still be in 24fps, some will be 48fps (or some other value), and eventually some will probably be variable from scene to scene. As fo

People say the same things about the DEA and IRS quite frequently. (Short-sighted people also say it about things like NPR, NASA, and the EPA.) Complaining about government waste is one of the great American pastimes.

I think there is some "vocal minority" stuff going on here, particularly with regard to the look and feel of Google's app. For starters, far from being "fluid", Google's app consistently has a much lower framerate when scrolling or adjustin

"…my actions felt like they were driven mostly by ego and the desire to be known in the startup community." This is not exactly unique for people working in SF as part of the current boom cycle.

He has to track down the person who originally came up with the status code "PC LOAD LETTER" and give them a cameo. He has to.

Santorum is "unelectable" in the same way as Sarah Palin. Since they are so extreme, there will always be a small, dedicated swath of people who like them, and they can even get enough local support to get elected to an office, however once

Romney lost because he was a terrible candidate, simple as that. Even the Republican base hated him. Right now the GOP leadership is busy flailing around trying to figure out why they didn't win. The ones who have gotten closest to the trut

The "big corps vs. the little guy consumers" notion is cute but I think the problem is more along the lines of very few advertisers wanting to be on a site with areas like /r/jailbait and /r/creepshots (or whatever took their place this wee

How exactly is this a "secret weapon"? Obama did not carry any of the states in this region except perhaps Florida (it's still being counted), which is not even among the states with these swatches of ancient plankton deposits. Also, if you

No one uses it, that's why. Meanwhile, I saw a Microsoft Surface demo at the mall yesterday and their approach to photo sharing via "SkyDrive" is FAR simpler and easier to use than Apple's. You know you're in trouble when MS has better usab

There are problems but it's not all bad. Sure, some of Apple's technology pushes have turned out to be half-baked, especially those which seem to be more marketing or management driven, such as iCloud syncing, and of course the subject of t

Universal single payer health care would cause an explosion of entrepreneurship the likes of which the USA has not seen in a long, long time. In the current situation, anyone with a family or a chronic condition is pretty much restricted to
