I would expect this kind of pictures from a third world country... How come no one is incentivized to fix this - protect the trains, prevent this loss of property? Who pays for the stolen goods? I presume it would be the retailers, is it ju

I think AT&T and telephone business are a bad analogy, exactly because Google kind of is involved in the telephone business and does not apply these stratagems there. For me the point of the article is the strategy Mr. Google uses curre

What I absolutely love about the Ig Nobels (beside the occasional chuckle and general mood improvement they bring me) is how they highlight that science can be fun. Many kids and young adults don´t want to get into science for fear of havin
