So, if some fringe group sends anonymously posts a letter claiming to be from anonymous, doesn't that make the letter from anonymous? I thought the whole point of a group that is completely decentralized is that anybody can claim to be from

I think there is a little bit more to this atricle than just a simple push for moving r&d to emerging markets to get cheaper labor. For example, I heard some pharmaceutical companies bhave started developing labs in Russia, not to reduc

I know what you're going for, and while you're probably a little unfairly downvoted and most people didn't get your joke, I think you should know that there are homes referred to as Tudor which weren't built during the Tudor era of the 1600

I agree, but I also don't think it would be impossible for Apple to have their own hulu/netflix like service, after all, you can already buy some videos through itunes. I think this will only be bad for users, but not bad enough to force ma

Perhaps they're hoping that this will force some of the subscription businesses off their platform, forcing people into whatever services Apple can give through subscription (iBooks, music). And then the businesses that do remain can actual

I think there are a few extra layers to this problem that aren't frequently brought up. 1) people believe they need cell/data service and would never cancel their service regardless of how bad/slow the service is. How many San Franciscan's

The speed in your definition would refer to the temperature of the particle, and not the temperature of the vacuum. This paper has both the vacuum and the particle not in thermal equilibrium, so the temperature of the vacuum is not due to t

That wasn't always the case. There was a time before I was born where you either had a phone through Ma Bell or you didn't have a phone.

As always, I was hoping The Simpsons was the inspiration behind this. (for those who don't wish to watch, I'm referring to the make up gun Homer invents). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPpCvM1EVKE&feature=relat... But, a human dot ma

It sucks that if these uncontacted tribes were to try to make contact, the only people that would be there to meet them would be loggers. I can't imagine loggers would treat them with the same dignity/respect that a trained professional mig

I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand it's only the top 5% users, obviously the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. On the other hand, they haven't mentioned any specifics at what usage they'll begin throttling. For

My roku can stream both Hulu Plus (which also costs a subscription fee) and netflix. I tried out hulu plus, but after the first commercial streamed in the middle of my show, i stopped it and stopped watching hulu plus. I'm ok paying for a s

This doesn't completely answer your question about certain music artists doing just fine, but might also be an interesting read. http://blog.tunecore.com/2010/10/music-purchases-and-net-rev...

This is relevant. http://arxiv.org/pdf/0710.0890v2 The gist of the story is: Use a large telescope to not only increase your collecting area, but focus your beam onto that surface: turn that measly 1 milliradian divergence laser into a 1

I agree, but with more emphasis on the affects of one's local climate. I also think a schedule timed with the local sunrise has very much helped me be productive in my current location (florida). Unfortunately in my hometown of seattle, I f

The quote you have shows they are only noticing a correlation, there is no talk about the cause. I also have a sneaking suspicion that if we could find the original article and read it, the researchers would also believe that this is only a

I think if Betelgeuse were about to explode any day now, we would be hearing a lot more from the major astronomy organizations, as Betelgeuse's supernova will be bright and fantastic. Six months ago there was another rumor about Betelgeuse

True, but look at the bright side, following the long period of inflation there will be fantastic growth! But really, are any of us keynesians surprised? I'm more apathetic to this surprise. Everything looks like linear growth when plotted

I've been thinking about it, and I think that another possibility is that there is no drop off, just a very flat curve with all companies spending a very similar but low amount, meaning the only reason facebook earns money from advertising

Update: That word million doesn't seem right, in order for this company to be the third largest advertiser on Facebook, that's got to be a typo. It's possible that AdAge mistyped this, that's the simplest explanation. I've asked the report

The parent is correct, but to throw another shoe in the gears, there are other situations in which a proton is referred to as a hydrogen ion. For example, during reionization in cosmology, hydrogen becomes ionized. The H+ ion is then referr

Be fair now, these hypothetical arm devices can't both be filled with bloat/crapware and not be supported by 3rd party app developers.

It's very cool that ssd's are getting the sizes to be able to replace my hard drive rather than just be used in laptops or be used as a boot disk. Hopefully the controller will be as fast as they claim and be competitive with intel and OCZ.
