I see no cables actually get routed through the Suez canal, even though many cables come up the Red Sea. The same is true for the Panama canal. Is it because they are too shallow? Maybe too concentrated?

Indeed, it is a corporate-friendly calendar. They say their calendar would make it easy to plan annual activities, from holidays to academic schedules to financial calculations.

I completely concur. I am beginning to suspect another release flop ala Windows Me and Windows Vista... if Microsoft default to Metro on traditional workstations. I say 'if' because they're still a bit vague on their roadmap. There's lots o

Here's how they "downloaded" back then... According to documents released by the NRO, each HEXAGON satellite mission lasted about 124 days, with the satellite launching four film return capsules that could send its photos back to Earth. An

Don't forget that Apple invented the new 'mobile' as we now know it - hardware, UX, app store etc. Everybody else is following.

From the article: "The terrorists breached the cockpit somehow, and the one trained to fly a jet, Mohamed Atta, moved to take control of the plane. And it may be at that point that Lewin tried to stop the hijacking, according to the govern

Yes, but that is yet another good reason not to version.

Another interesting post by Steve. What are your thoughts on twilio's date prefix in the URI versus using "v1" for example? Does discovery appease the purists qualms about versioning? But if using HATEOS enables discovery (which twilio is d

Up/down arrow keys to scroll sections (vertical), left/right to scroll section pages (horizontal). I think it is brilliant.

Ah, thanks. So most if not all the smarts were in the camera, not in the post-shooting graphic polish?

Aside question: Can anyone elaborate a little bit on the camera, lenses, and graphical effects used to produce the blur/focus effect in this video?

Show me the CODE! Where is it??? If you are trying to revolutionize and disrupt existing languages/syntaxes, show how yours is better! Side-by-side on the front page is best. Look at CoffeeScript's site.

For a minute there I thought I'd be able to paste in some text and automagically get a TL;DR. Pretty neat nonetheless.

I'm not sure about that. From their website: However, BankSimple is not a "bank." We partner with chartered banks who provide FDIC-insured products, leaving us free to concentrate on designing the complete consumer banking experience, via

Live coverage is only valuable if it is live. For most, this only came in the clear in the aftermath. Twitter is more akin to a real time, universal log + interactions, but it doesn't come with a central studio that sifts through the materi

Side point but I can't help it: I can't bare static image navigation like this anymore, especially from a tech site like wired. I work on a widescreen laptop and I have to scroll down every time a new page loads with the next image.

Interesting. So why didn't they use a TMP? Cost savings? International distribution constraints? (I see TPMs are illegal in China - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Platform_Module. ) It is somewhat peculiar given Apple's known DRM poli
