Not the downvoter and don't think it's worth a downvote but don't think the comment said anything not mentioned in (at least) the NY times article.

I have a 13.3" Zenbook Prime. 256G SSD is plenty but I wish I had more than 4G ram (newer models do.) Running Windows 8 and Ubuntu dual boot; the problem is that windows doesn't handle high DPI nicely and Ubuntu is ugly as hell...

"58.72 ± 0.07 million years ago" - have to love that Wikipedian level of detail! That actually looks really cool. I wanted to visit Skye first but Eigg is looking pretty attractive.

When the girl in the bath came on screen I remembered I was watching a video of a bunch of people who are addicted to their f'ing iPhones. And then I felt like I was watching an episode of Black Mirror.

I know, I know, I was being a little tongue in cheek and perhaps it didn't come off too well, but in all seriousness it obviously is just a lack of self control on my part. It isn't easy for me. But this story isn't about the

I hate king.com for the many hours of potential productivity that I have paid them for the privilege of losing. Whenever I talk about how I was stupid for playing Candy Crush I feel like I'm victim blaming. Anyway, horrible company cul

I have a 166 dpi laptop at the moment and yes, windows was pretty bad. Only recently found out about the dpi settings thanks to a commenter here. On another note I really want that laptop!!

I have seen a lot of numberphile's videos but not this one! Thanks for the link. I'm pretty sure my flatmate told me the story and he watches numberphile too so you're almost certainly right either way :P

This is also a good argument for switching to base 12 for normal every-day counting. One interesting thing I heard once - a journalist was discussing the merits of counting in base 12 with someone whose society already adopted this method.

The idea of using a blockchain to verify users seems really clever - it makes the barrier to entry extremely low. I hope we see a thing like this for diaspora so we can have rich social features without facebook. Maybe I am just an optimist

Can anybody pinpoint when WIRED started publishing 50% link-bait nonsense which just links to other sites on the web, upworthy style? I love their UK magazine and this trend is disappointing. Bit off topic, sorry. Beards outnumber clean sha
