That was one of the highest-fidelity visual experiences I've had on the web. I know there's no more information being displayed than what's in the audio channel, but I feel like this sort of experience just wouldn't tran

Have we made even a single advancement that can increase the age to which humans are capable of living? We've made lots of progress on stuff that kills us early, but I can't think of anything that makes our bodies actually last lo

Can this battery be used to jump another (traditional or Ohm) battery when required?

I'm glad to see paternity leave included and given equal weight to maternity. So many employers don't offer this important benefit.

What's most astonishing about all this is that the AMC Rebel gets 0mpg!

Millisecond-level feedback is incredibly exciting. It's only at these rates that the limits of human perception seem to no longer detect the disparity between the real world and digital interaction. This strongly reminds me of a video[

The smile on Mr. Woo's face is what sells this for me. Yeah the device looks a little clunky and it can't match human agility, but this is the face of a man who can walk again.

Nautilus articles are usually okay, but this is literally a facebook quiz. No content loads unless you permit Facebook Connect to load an externally hosted quiz from PlayBuzz.

Anything that starts with "obligatory" probably doesn't contribute to the discussion.

Unless the content you're accessing is hosted on the satellite, it will have to jump several more times over a much longer distance for a complete round trip. Can you factor that in to your estimate?

Putty is pretty awful anyway. Git for windows installs a shell that is not terrible, includes an ssh client, and is distributed over https. It is my go-to when I have to use a windows machine.

I mean in `animateDrops` you check if `timestamp - lastExecutionTime < speed`. You set `speed` to 100ms when you call `engine.rain`. Because of this the motion is jittery, updating at about 1/3 the rate of smooth video and 1/6t

Looks great for international travelers, but this would more than double my $30 monthly unlimited data plan from T-Mobile. I used 5.2GB last month, so that would cost me $73.
