   It's difficult to combine the various units of measurement they use in the article (combined with the difficulty in comparing point radiation readings with doses over periods of time), but my understanding of the article is that the radiati

   When I first downloaded the CoverFlow app on a Mac, I said to the person beside me... "Apple will integrate this in iTunes." It wasn't long before Apple bought them out and began sprinkling CoverFlow across everything Apple. When I first

   Thanks for the hack. I'll try it out some time. The thing is though, why do I need to jump through hoops to get meta-reviews? The iTunes Store is displayed as web pages within a deficient browser (iTunes or the iOS app). It's the web stripp

    Consumed? That implies that they're actually read (and comprehended rather than downloaded to a stream?), and that they no longer exist afterwards. Sure, the firehose favors subscriptions, but that's about the only take-away.

    I should put this moment in a diary or something. The moment my 'cool. awesome!' response was entirely dampened by my 'wow. fetishization much?' response. I don't even own a lawn yet :[

    Surely "mouth-breathing buffoons" is short-hand for 'not my niche/circle of interest apes'. We're all primates with our own monkey-sphere, and our inner circle of orangutans will be most important to us. Some of us choose to read Daring Fir

    I suppose they had to launch the brand new browser with a 3D Spherical icon when joining the market along with IE, Firefox and Safari, but now they're comfortable enough with awareness of the browser that they want to 'innovate'.

    It's called "Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot"? Yet presumably you want to increase the install base? Do you not see a problem here?

    I remember reading a comment the other day from someone who misunderstood the sarcastic tone of a previous comment. Paraphrasing 'it's so hard to discern nuance or sarcasm in a comment'. It would be a lot easier to parse if we hadn't collec

    If you'll permit my analogy, a handshake is to a signature on a form, what a hug is to a personal note. Completely different.

    "a film that is not a sequel, adapted from a comic book or inspired by a toy. They're hoping it follows the path of 'Matrix.'" So they invested in it because they thought it could be a successor (a sequel as it were) to The Matrix?

    Their case for the first iPad is very cludgy. Harsh edges, always looks tatty, the least impressive solution to an ergonomic dictate that Apple have produced (except for their mice) and yet I'd never remove it. It's great for what it does.

    Does anyone have a coloured leather case for an existing device here? Is this something to be expected when working with dyed leather? Are Apple just being cautious by preempting 'leather-gate' or something similar wherever they can with th

    Really nice app. It's not immediately obvious to me what the agony ranking is for though, and there's no help menu? (Obviously it's ranking flights from least agony-inducing to most, but what's the metric?)

    I could be wrong, but I don't think Apple actually used their technology, but rather implemented a similar feature into desktop Safari.

    I wonder if 'voting' on a story will be tied to something other than 'has an account' in a future iteration of this social up/down news model. It's been my experience that a comment section often contains far better critical/ordered informa
