> There's no F1 at the Olympics. Well sure. But there IS skiing in the Olympics, and that is a sport that is defined by (pun) cutting-edge technology. The constant jockeying for slight improvements makes all skis that much better. O

So, you must be suggesting that all runners wear the same shoes or run barefoot? Because naturally, every different model of shoe will have slight variance in running performance -- even those shoes within the "legal" band. If we

Well, one of the main "reasons" this bill was killed was about what you're asking. From the LA Times[0]: "Senate Bill 50, which would have allowed construction of mid-rise apartment complexes near transit and job centers

There is a complete difference between a light emitting screen and a light absorbing screen. Even backlit Kindles are much nicer to read on than iPads of the exact same "brightness".

These would be printed, and large. I don't think legibility is a major issue with either map.

If you go to a grocery store, you'll find many versions of cheddar cheese specifically. Some of it is blocked, some slices, some shredded. You'll also find that in at least one of these forms, the store has it's own brand – c

I think you may need to revisit your assumption that Blizzard employees are pro-Hong Kong. Why do you think that Blizzard as a company, and Blizzard as a cohort of people, wouldn’t be pro-China?
