I'm actually considering buying a tablet for an elderly relative, an iPad would have been ideal were is not for the fact that it cannot stream flash, they watch news clips and things and so that is a deal breaker... so Android it is!

As a non-American, I have no rights in your country and my views no not count for diddly-squat. In fact, the NSA surveillance are specifically supposed to target at me as a non-American. So as an America, if you do not approve of their acti

I'm not sure I would specifically "blame" uTorrent for this, it's the shame shady practice that a lot of software uses now to install other crapware. You need to be very careful when installing anything free so uncheck a

How exactly does the US have access to French phone records, to the extent they can record conversations, and full content of SMS messages? I would presume all those systems would reside in France, or the EU at the very least? So who is pro

If you read the comments then you'll realise it's actually Google sending down crap: I opened up Wireshark and found that IE was sending a user agent string of "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.3; WOW64;

Sure. But gold, and diamonds and other pretty shiney things only have as much value as we place on them, the same as paper money. @21echoes covers everything else I wold add on this. The US currency used to be backed by gold up until 1934 [

It's strange you say it works because it happens that every case of hyperinflation in history has occurred under a fiat, paper system. So what, we go back to the bartering system? It's difficult to trade my skills as a programme

Point (b), since the connection is via bluetooth, it doesn't have to sit on the handle bar, you could just put it in your pocket. I think it is just for ease of access and view. The mount does have straps it says, to buckle it down in

Will this only work with single speed bikes? What about bikes with gears in the front and/or back, they will need to be converted to single speed I presume?

What constitutes a charging cycle? Connected to the mains? What about all those micro charges you get along your journey, going downhill or braking? Presumably the battery capacity will diminish over time, and you have some smart software t

Not unrealistic if you happen to 25 miles away (journey each way) but definitely not your "average commuter". (I used to cycle 20 miles each way, I knew someone that cycled 35 miles, but for different reasons than just commuting

Petrol assisted bikes, where a bike is retrofitted with a small 30cc engine, is hugely popular around Buenos Aires. I saw lots of them when I visited recently and they were fairly cheap apparently.

The FlyKly looks surprisingly similar! Anybody know why the Copenhagen Wheel isn't a thing you can buy yet? Was the technology not mature enough? From their video it looks very similar with phone app, maps, traffic etc. I wonder how ma

Also, I would use the e-wheel during the week for my commute to work and come the weekend I could fairly quickly switch the wheel over to my regular one and exercise properly. One bike, two purposes.

...not to mention it's not a replaceable wheel - it comes together with the whole bicycle. Are you sure about that? http://senseable.mit.edu/copenhagenwheel/wheel.html > The Copenhagen Wheel turns the bike yo

Actually, I think anyone who reads a single article and takes it for truth is a fool. If something peaks your interest then you need to research more, there are different truths based on your perspective (exactly as you have pointed out). N
