with specialized services on the Internet for just about any kind of data, it makes less sense to use general purpose tool like Dropbox. Not to mention that cloud storage is becoming core feature of many operating systems. If Dropbox doesn'

when you are looking that far away, you can't see any planets. They are not light source like stars. The only way to figure out whether star has any planets around is to measure and interpret periodical gravitational vibrations.

This article reminded me blog post on Coding Horror back from 2007 called "Falling into the pit of success". This is exactly what Obama has created for his staff: "a pit of success". His staff had to merely just fall into it. http://www.co

If you are lucky to be rich, nothing is stopping you getting better health care and trying to add 1 or 2 years of life at extraordinary cost. It just won't be covered by your insurance. To me, universal healthcare is a tradeoff. Everybody w

Nooo. I absolutely love this company. The last company I loved this much was JungleDisk and we all know what happened to it once Rackspace acquired it. This is not such a great news for customers. Sorry.

Then how do you explain this: "The judge is writing a note to the jury to point out exactly what the inconsistencies are, because they couldn’t seem to tell from going over the document themselves." Poor judge who was reading it seems to be

It's funny how most projects either succeed by a very small margin or fail spectacularly. since Kickstarter is all or nothing model, it's obvious if the project is only let's say 20% off its funding goal, family members or even founders the
