tl;dr of this review: IE sux, keyboard sux, Windows sux, don't buy it. Read Anandtech's review instead, which is much more nuanced. You can really see how techcrunch rushed this one out the door as quickly as possible without doing much err

This is clever in the same way that spammers are clever to spam millions of people without getting caught.

I find this arrogant and stupid, and by no means worthy of the word 'hacker'. It's cheating, plain and simple.

I found the link to Bubble memory ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_memory ) in that article fascinating. I never thought that memory could work like that. The tutorial is also useful: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/How_bubble_mem

Hm, waiting 30 minutes for half a charge. This doesn't scale at all. If there's a queue of only one car you'll be there for an hour.

It 'only' has 440.000 active users? I'd be quite happy with a failure like that.

Really like the implementation, but I really don't like the name. Maybe you should think about renaming it to something less focused on the 'five year' bit.

Very good points. I remember playing Need for Speed 2 SE on a Pentium II 200MHz with an mp3 playing in the background with no problems at all. These days we can emulate several of those machines inside a single OS, while browsing the web an

Full disclosure: I advised Terry on this project, although I didn't write any code. I think the idea'll need a fair bit of (localized) publicity to get going. But if it works, it'll make the world a better place :)

It's not ok that only 3% of people present liked peanut butter! I'm going to make it my mission to get more people that like peanut butter into conferences.

The target audience may be slightly different. In London, the people I see wearing helmets while cycling tend to be that particular young male demographic, whereas people partaking in the bicycle sharing program tend to be commuters. As suc

I would've laughed too, were it not that these people completely wrecked a small village, caused considerable damage, rioted against the police and injured the residents. I am appalled at my own country for letting this happen.

I love it! Estate agents in London are a royal pain. If this gets rid of them I will be extremely grateful. You are improving the world, sir. Suggestion: some (most) apartments require users to give references. How about allowing users to v

In what way could that possibly be 'too bad'?? "Too bad that some guy is going to spend years and years in prison for provable murder when he should really only be charged with stealing candy" Idiot gets caught and gets what he deserves. Al

Scary thought. It would be interesting to see this compared to how much of the world's resources we were using x years ago.

It amuses me that only the very last item on the list is about making money, rather than spending it. Yes, if I had a billion billion dollars and a fantasy pony castle then I would also have a team of super hackers that would make my ever

Most likely all the numbers up to 10 digits long were in the dictionary. tl;dr of this article: don't use stupid passwords. Edit: the article mentions it was a phone number, so that narrows it down a lot.

The same benefit as not wearing a seatbelt in the car. You feel more free, less restrained. I've cycled across half of Japan without a helmet and I did not feel in danger even for a single moment. Then I did one trip in Central London and v

This seems like an excellent opportunity for authorities to physically track people who use their bitcoins for illegal purposes.

I think this could work, if implemented as part of the current e-mail system. You could add a server that intercepts e-mails and if the user is not on the white list, or hasn't paid/registered for a particular pay service, then it could bou

I think that's perfectly reasonable. Although I'm not a native speaker I quickly get annoyed at people's inability to form proper sentences. But only in formal situations, such as the job application scenario in the original article. I went

It's just not true. Not for everyone. I've worked with people in the past who would shine in a new role, and I keep telling them to quit their job and move on to something better. But I've also worked with people who think they're good prog
