Animal farming is such a historical constant, I wonder what the unintended consequences of artificial meat are? How does this ride with the trend for more organic and natural produce? Will artificial meat only be a suitable alternative in c

I've tried to get to explain to me how he does it, he can't. He can also recite the US and UK release dates for most kids films (he learns them from Wikipedia)... and then he can subsequently tell you the day of the week!! Most of

My son has (pretty severe) autism, he can tell you the day of the week for a date... pretty much any date going back to the fifties. We (and his teachers) can't work out how he does it. I think at some point he's sat in front of a

Yes, I think the FaceID (a culmination of their purchase of PrimeSense in 2014) is along the same lines as Google's Project Tango. Project Tango looks amazing but will it ever get beyond the developer-edition phones and tablets and int

Dagnabit, we're running out of words! Well, all Cockroaches belong to the order Blattodea... but BlattoDB conjures the wrong feelings. I'm sure these have been offered before, inspiration from nature: TardigraDB (Water bears) Echi

Suggestion : smaller cockroaches belong to the family Ectobiidae. How about EctoDB ? (I actually love the name CockroachDB but it seems to be an intractable problem for some!)

That's how things used to be in the UK. UK copyright law was aimed at counterfeiters (seedy Joe who sells knock-off T-Shirts, CDs and tapes down the local pub). Now with the Digital Economy amendments, we have an extremely vague me

Yes. What about the plethora of "pre-loaded" scripts that are installed in order to gain access to illegal content? I'm not talking about Kodi. Kodi is awesome.

These stories are incredibly incendiary, fueled by Murdoch's News UK Group. Whilst I think you would be an idiot to run unknown software on your home network (even if it means you get free TV) there have been no prosecutions against in

I think the reason why Richard Feynman was such a great orator is that he could overcome this gap to a certain extent. Matt O'Dowd on PBS Space Time also has a great way of breaking down really complex theories (especially if you watch

I see Facebook are still pretending the HTC Vive and SteamVR is not a thing. Oculus need to support other headsets or they are going to fall even further behind. Win the mindshare where you can, because you are certainly not anywhere near w

From what I have read, if you volunteer to leave they can pay you in flight vouchers. The worth of these is lessened by the fact they would give you $300 as 6x $50 vouchers which cannot be used at the same time. If they elect you to leave t

The article quotes as follows: "There are so many areas where Apple does enormous good - far, far more good than any other electronics giant" Any idea what is being referred to there? I've never noticed Apple being particular

It was a war of the negatives. Neither side chose to express the positives. Brexiters were portrayed as small-minded xenophobes. The EU took the "We won't throw you a bone, what are you going to do about it?" approach. If the

Want to know how to piss off a photographer? "These are great pictures, you must have a great camera!" Caveat: You can take great pictures with a camera-phone but you can't take every type of shot. I think any DSLR with a g
