Altria, aka Philip Morris, took a 35% stake in Juul for $12B, and also happen to have a competing product in the iQOS system. The conspiracy theorist in me feels like the investment was to kill the Juul and will just factored into the cost

I was thinking from the perspective of historical documents. I don't know if we know what ancient Sumerians sounded like, but their writings are still around ~5000 years later. A tax document, a court finding, a poem, a love letter, th

Unless something has changed recently deleting Firefox also deletes anything you ever downloaded with it. Be very careful about this. Also there is no way to clear the list of downloaded files, there is only a 'delete' button, whi

Thank you, it's not what I was thinking of but looks interesting. Seems like there is some history of multi-layer displays that I wasn't aware of, not that I took the idea any further than a "wouldn't it be cool if...&qu
