Thanks for that, not sure where I got the extra multiple of ten from when I'm looking right at articles on this whole story.

To me it would only be scary if a media company was taken down by a rich entity simply litigating them until they couldn't afford to fight the lawsuits anymore. In this case, Gawker lost because they were in the wrong. I've read

Slightly contrarian, or maybe not-but is anyone else sort of fatigued with social media trying it's hardest to do it all for you? Algorithmic timelines telling me what happened while I was gone (trust me, twitter...I would have gotten

Remember clock Ahmed the clock kid? I had a situation almost exactly like his, except I made a working FM radio, could change stations and listen to local news and weather, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. The school did not, and t

Echoed. Bought a Fitbit Charge a few years ago, band started separating, I tweeted them and got a response within 20 minutes, and a new Fitbit Charge about 8 days later. I've since upgraded to the Charge HR.

No. I'm actually really tired of these types of articles that use "Look at all of this academia I can source" to brush over harmless idioms and quirks of mundane behavior while extracting some kind of borderline-histrionic an

You know, there's a degree of uncomfortable truth to this that requires the words "common sense" to be thrust between quotation marks for the statement to work.

I'm interested as heck to know more about this instrumentation panel showing "technique" as an indicator for the car's energy consumption. Ostensibly using gamification to encourage more conscious driving?

Easy targets, too, if (or when) FBI/NSA/CIA allies with some party in domestic political struggle. I think part of this might be that members of Congress remember the news breaking that the NSA and CIA were spying even on Americ

just playing devil's advocate here but since when do you NEED to spend less than 30% of your take home on rent to survive? That seems to be one of the common and very popular requirements to even have your lease application put aside
