I wish I could say that my lack of understanding the contents of this article was just ignorance but unfortunately it makes my brain want to explode. There is a back ended compliment in there somewhere. What I mean is you're a smart mo

I get it now: Jorge had laced its pages with poison, correctly assuming that a reader would have to lick his fingers in order to turn them. Nice pull.

Well I'm glad. I remember when ipods had no power button. I distinctly remember saying, "This is not good. Soon there won't be any buttons. Thanks Steve Jobs." Boy was I right. The best phone ever was the G1 with the lit

I'm probably going to regret asking this and I apologize for my ignorance but I thought .org's were all government and nonprofit. I didn't think anybody owned it nor that the entire domain could be sold?!

Yeah but a taxi driver can buy a home and put a kid through college, perhaps even take a vacation once a year. An uber driver may have 6 or 8 months of economic boom but eventually the house of cards will come tumbling down. It is exactly t

I'm unfamiliar with uber in London or if it's any different than in the United States. I think it's only a matter of time before it gets shut down here and perhaps even have a class action lawsuit by present and former driver

I like Obama OK but saved the American car industry? He handed GM a check. Those funds didn't come out of his account. GM should have filed for bankruptcy, trimmed the fat and hunkered down in a leaner version of its former self. It wa

Duh I'm sorry I thought that that was an "i". I kept thinking is that some Latin form of pluralizing the word. Oops. Where's my coffee...

Yes and no. A few years ago I realised my digital bathroom scale's calibration was out of whack so like anyone whom might have lost the instructions I google the make and model of my scale to download them. Later that evening while on

It has to do with collusion between driver and passenger. It protects everyone involved. It prevents a passenger from getting in the vehicle and saying, "I told the app I was going to the bijou duplex but I really need a driver 3 hours

What are your thoughts or impression of OPERA? It has private browsing etc. They really restructured their whole browser several years ago specifically to switch to the chromium platform. I apologize I didn't mean to butt in I was just

Definitely presentation is a huge factor. Presidential elections are great examples. If a good orator says something enough times, with conviction in a nice package people will believe it. During Bill Clinton's first run for office aga

I'm reading these comments somewhat in disbelief. Put the torches down people. You know it took me the better part of 40 years to realize that if one is the greatest guy in the world 95% of the time and a complete asshole 5% of the tim

That is a true statement. Yet privacy is a freedom that must be held onto with white knuckles. Who is to say that tomorrow your private poems about butterflies doesn't associate you with some extremist sect and a tyrannical government

Not even apples and oranges. I know that they can still fly safely with only two motors if they are opposing. They may be so safe that it won't be for years to come but eventually after enough mad mothers are up in arms about somebody

We live in a society with motor vehicles. They are here to stay. It doesn't matter what their safety record may be or under which parameters they are operated. Drones are an entirely separate issue. We do not live in a society with dro
