The problem with all of the plug-in hybrids is that they can only run about 12 miles on full electric power. I don't know about you, but I need an electric car that can run at least 50 miles to get to work and back.

This comparison fails to acknowledge that part of the cost of the new Kindle Fire HD is mandatory ads on the unlock screen and the home screen, which can't be disabled. You can also safely assume that Amazon is closely tracking your usage

PayPal charges 5%? You should really shop around. You can get a merchant account through any number of banks that will charge 3% or less. Merchant accounts have the added advantage that they won't freeze your funds, however, you do have

It seems pretty good, however, I have a major pet peeve with the reading layout. At least on iPhone, they stick 3 random tweets about the article right in the middle of the first paragraph. You just begin reading an article, and have to s

Good point - better to start small. Vacation islands would be perfect as most people don't really want to drive on vacation anyway, and you don't have to worry about getting a shady taxi driver.

It will eventually happen, but in order to do so, you first need a catalyst - a major metropolitan area such as Manhattan that converts to 100% robocars within a geographic area. The problem is that if you mix human and robocar drivers, an

I was offered a nice contracting job at a USAF base. All I had to do was run a single large Oracle server (Sun Enterprise 10000). I asked "what does the system do?" The recruiter told me the database handled the parts ordering system for

Ok, 1 game has 20 million players... there are several million playing any single game at any given time... thus... hundreds of millions.

I think you underestimate the size of the gamer user base on Windows. It must be in the hundreds of millions.

This study seems to be counteracted by millions of Asian people that are living well into their 80s, 90s, and 100s, and eat a diet that has quite a bit of unfermented (and fermented) soy in it.

He mentioned the prototype is larger than it needs to be. They needed to have easy access to data ports to pull diagnostics info from the batteries and controllers. The size of the final version should be about the size of a carry-on bag.

This has been mentioned before, but by simply using colored circles for their controller buttons, they are ignoring the needs of a lot of color blind gamers. This is why every console manufacturer has symbols on the buttons. Color coding

It creates a lot of ill-will from customers which translates into bad reviews: "I bought this app for $9.99 and then I found out that all of the good features require in-app purchases - 1 star for you!"

Developers could very well re-architect their application so that when you download the update to v2, you have to unlock the new features with an in-app purchase, but to be honest, it's a lot of extra work for the developer, and there is no

iOS has never had a legitimate way to install code in userspace outside of the App store. OS X has a long and rich history of allowing people to run any code in userspace that they want. This is one of those situations where you can't real

The problems you will face are not obvious and immediate problems. For example, a year from now, a server might fail, and you find out that you can no longer obtain that specific model of motherboard or RAID card that was used in that serv

Which brings up a funny party trick - go to the bathroom and start playing porn on the big screen in the other room. See how long it takes for your friends to figure out who is sending it to the AppleTV...

You can put the iPad to sleep and it will continue to play the video on the AppleTV, but my guess is that if you turn it completely off or move it outside of wifi range you'll lose the control connection so the video will stop playing.

On every version of Windows I've ever used, the search indexing service steals precious background disk and CPU cycles, and almost always causes issues with the two main things I use my computer for: gaming and music production. I can't e

Sales numbers for boxed copies of Netscape/IE are irrelevant because in 1998 everyone just used the browser that came with Windows. You had to intentionally try to download Netscape. In fact, you couldn't even download Netscape without us

Let me guess, you probably had an original iPhone and suffered when iOS 3.0 came out and performance was terrible, right? Did you know that a subsequent release (3.01 I think) fixed this issue and performance was fine again? The one thing

The problem was that Microsoft introduced proprietary extensions to standard HTML that would only work properly in IE. They first tried to create a monopoly on browser market share. By bundling IE with Windows 98 as the default browser, t

So you get a new UI; who cares? What is truly important is application compatibility, and someone with a 3 year old iPhone 3GS will still be able to run brand new apps made for iOS 6.0. On the other hand, someone in a store buying a Nokia

Are developers able to change the name of their app after it is approved and published in the app store? Because, if so, there might be a reasonable explanation for this mistake: 1. Developer submits app named "Tips for Microsoft Word". 2.
