I never realized the extent of Tesla's clairvoyance. This is a pretty cool read.

Just a friendly heads-up that everyone should help spread the word for people in Egypt (and anywhere else with blocked/censored Internet) to download and start using AnchorFree's Hotspot Shield as soon as possible. I've even started using i

Excluding computers and the internet, I would honestly have to say cell phones generally, and more specifically the iPhone.

I'm not going to lie: when I first read the Huffington Post article ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/20/two-suns-twin-stars... ) citing a news.com.au article ( http://www.news.com.au/technology/sci-tech/tatooines-twin-su... ) I was g

I am sure your data is worth at least $150 to you. But yeah, basically. Oh and, never again by a WD portable. I ended up getting a Seagate. So far, great.

Right, but of course that's the beauty of it, right? Communal editing (helps) ensures that most errors are short lived. I actually took the effort to edit an article once. It was on hearsay. There were some complicated nuances as between ce

Loved this article. And this question - how to find the best co-founders - is what motivated me to start Venturocket in the first place.

I haven't yet. I suppose I probably should at some point though. I assume there's no limit to how many times you can download your data?

We definitely used to use wikipedia in law school while in class to compliment professors' lectures; it was pretty common practice, not to mention its invaluable help in studying for exams. Although certainly not citable as any primary, sec

I just wrote you quite a long story, so in case you don't have the patience to read it all, here's my recommendation for you (as echoed again at the very end): If you have no backup of your data, I recommend taking your drive to a special d

Finding talented engineers as "mere employees" are hard enough; finding talented engineers suitable to be your co-founder(s) for a startup are even harder. It took me over a month of searching, interviewing, and painstaking gut instinct che

To everybody at HN: excuse me for having missed the "approach to comments" section and for having ignorantly posted a comment to my link. I'm new to posting on HN and will make a point to follow the guidelines.

Excuse me, I misspoke (mis-wrote?) ... I meant to write that I could -- theoretically -- use the iPhone internationally. In fact precisely because of the exorbitant costs, I have rarely ever done so, and any event, never for anything othe
