Sounds like a terrible waste of our finite resources, actually.

"In real-world use, this tech will probably be used to equip consumer devices with batteries that are much smaller and lighter — imagine a smartphone with a battery the thickness of a credit card, which can be recharged in a few seconds."

Video games are games . The best GUI's and UX considerations for video games are a completely different kettle of sushi than what you want from a consumer electronics device. I want to play a puzzle with Super Mario. I want to answer a red

Singapore airport is great. Delicious Laksa, a butterfly enclosure, spacious with good shopping. Not sure which airport you went to.

Pretty much everyone who uses the internet, uses YouTube. But the ones who comment on YouTube represent the race to the bottom in terms of quality. The vast majority of internet users watch YouTube videos, but only the vile juvenile troll

Not true. We can still have electric cars almost in perpetuity if the source of energy is the Sun... the current untapped carbon-neutral energy producing byproducts (hydro, wind, waves); we can also use the Moon (tidal hydro); the Earth's m

We've got videoconferencing, but imagine if the R&D hours and experience we've got in building cars to ferry people around had been invested in 'remote cars'. i.e. Remote workstations that were like modern office cubicles, except they e

Do you mean 'taboo', as in something that's considered off-limits due to cultural sensitivities? (Wondering out loud if the etymology is similar to voodoo and related suspicious stuff)

Selling clothing at a retail store isn't the same thing as selling Apple devices at an Apple store? Huh. I thought profession was more important than understanding an industry.

"Most of the time the people who Anonymous give the stick to" I really think it's important to our online discourse to unpack the proper noun 'Anonymous'. "Anonymous" isn't akin to The Junta of NK, the Department of State's actions on beh

You're cargo on an airplane. I think it's fair for airlines to charge by weight. My reasoning blurs a bit though when it comes to height. I'm tall and skinny. I'd pay for extra leg room, but I don't cost the airline extra carbon burning and

I'm only speculating, sorry, as someone who's spent a lot of time on planes. ...but I've observed a fairly obvious system of attempting to regulate sleeping patterns on planes independent of outside time. Setting a slightly unnatural 'patte

Highlights the absurdity of 'intellectual property rights' law. Like being sued for playing Bach or Chopin to an audience in terms of the digital era.

Why does this video need to be captured by a lucky passenger who found amicable crew to let it be recorded? Why don't we have videos like this published by airlines?

'Sleeping time' on a plane is fairly independent of actual time outside. It's when the crew want a subdued, calm and restful (and hopefully asleep) cargo of passengers. It's akin to hanging black curtains in a babies room to ensure the best

Does 'prior art' even matter? Seems like a subjective distinction that's regularly quashed by monied interests.

Another way of thinking about it is the age old saying: 'Blood is thicker than water' when referring to family over people you encounter. Beyond the shared experiences and the irrational bond (I use the phrase as devil's advocate whilst bei

"Also, South Korea has REALLY bad security. For example, if you want to use some form of online banking you must use an ActiveX control with IE." I've heard about that, and that it's a major impediment to the adoption of new browsers, but I

I've used the 'hamburger button' in my designs, as it's become a standard UI pattern, but I really dislike it. It's an abstract icon that says "here's a bunch of hidden stuff that you're probably looking for" I like it when used to simulate

"discontinuing a product" I guess you need to unpack what that product was. It was loss-leading free product that killed the ecosystem that proceeded it. That whole 'embrace, extend, extinguish' thing is what many people are decrying as a t

It's what permits those two lines to be essentially irreducibly perfect in describing "the same" that fascinates me. Any 'samer' and they would converge and simply be -. The opposite of something. It's only when we can separate nothing, tha

As a graphic designer I was pre-disposed to siding with you against the pitchfork wielding pirates, but that's ridiculous. Bullshit takedown. Folded newspaper done in a minimalist style? Cogs? Face talking? Is this a prank or art piece trol
