5 acres per person seems like a lot of space to me, but if you take into account how much of the earth's surface area is uninhabitable or at least difficult to inhabit there's probably a lot less practical space per person. Knowin

How horrible! They should eat their own dog food and run their entire datacenter on those sleek rack servers that they make so many of... Oh yeah. (This is news? Lame even for the reg...)

In all honesty, it's made me hesitant to look at Kickstarter projects now that might "take off" in the same manner. I'm a big fan of crowdfunding, but I'm not sure yet how I feel about being a part of crowdfunding a

Fukushima changed the rotation of the earth as well ( http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/japanquake/earth20... ) I think there are calculations on nuke tests and rotation as well but I'd expect

Does nobody in the media know how cellphones work? If you call a cellphone and hear a ringing, it doesn't mean at all that the destination phone is physically ringing or not. Landlines work that way usually, but mobile phones not at al

I'm not a tax lawyer, or an accountant, but I'm willing to bet that writing off Bitcoin volatility as a loss on your taxes will get you on the Shinkansen to Auditsville.

If you turn down some of the CRT "fault" options to a more reasonable level (i.e., you emulate a CRT that isn't on it's last legs) Cathode is no worse than any other terminal app as far as eye strain goes, at least for m

I need more people to upvote me so I can get to the threshold to downvote you.

If you're using OS X go look for the Cathode app. Set it to your favorite paleolithic-era CRT type,set it to full screen, and voila! :)

Also, I have a Nest and don't intend to get rid of it for now, but the Google acquisition has made me decide to not buy any more Nest products. :(

I'm gonna call shenanigans on this tweet until seconded or proven otherwise. I have a Nest and have not seen that at all. That user may have been asked to accept new Play store conditions on an Android device before using the app, but

The cynic in me would be a lot happier with Nest if, rather than the kind of painfully-obvious "its just what we wanted, guys!" position they're posting, if Fadell just said "$3.2 billion. C'mon dude, you think we&#

I had no idea there was actually "logic" to the naming. Thanks. Still stupid names, but at least with a goal in mind.

Living in Atlanta, the Leaf is ALL OVER. There are no less than 12 in my parking deck, up from zero less than 3 months ago. Two Volts, two Teslas, one Mitsubishi electric, and more than a dozen Leafs. Leaves?

Sadly, my exact thinking. I love my Nest. I do not love Google collecting statistical information from it. Which I am certain they will do, regardless of what they say to the contrary.

Excellent history if you were ever a fan of the Hiptop/Sidekick. Or if you ever worked there. Good times.

All of my home lighting is LED or CFL except for one specific use case - a collection of vintage Lava Lamps (don't judge me.) These need incandescent bulbs not for light but for a specific heat output to melt the wax. Now I'm goin

Ads also limit the impartiality of the content. If you read a page about some company or some technology, and then some ad service decides that that's a great trigger to place an ad for that company or technology on the very same page,

I agree it's not the first choice for a dirty bomb, but if you actually have access to a truckload of it, I can presume it's "good enough" rather than passing on it in the hopes of finding something better.
