The vacuum is the key to the whole thing. The blood vessels in your extremities are very good at contracting when they get cold, to help preserve your core temperature. The vacuum draws them back to the surface, meaning you can cool much mo

They even state the temperature, between 18 C and 22 C. I'm thinking if you could find a plastic top for a gumball machine (or something like it) you would have a pretty good start. The vacuum could be done manually with a pump of some sort

If you use Instapaper and install the "Read Later" bookmarklet on iOS (it's just a bookmarklet in Safari), then you'll be able to add articles to Instapaper from Safari, and you'll have those articles both on the Instapaper iOS app and the

It'd be great if you could have App Engine routes that just directly serve files from Cloud Storage.

I'm kind of dismayed at the lack of innovation, or even appreciation for innovation, in this list. It seems a waste to spend good developers time cloning something like Google Earth, which is marginally useful to begin with, already free (a

"radical"? Hyperbole much? It looks to be the same basic case as the iPod Touch, maybe with more of the iPad's angles. Hardly radical, probably not even new.

I realize I'm being a little pedantic, but the original phrasing does read as the probability of it being in India or China is greater than the rest of the world combined.

If you want to give SASS a try (specifically the SCSS dialect), we support it at WebPutty.net. (Yes, I'm a dev on WebPutty and am totally biased, but I actually do think the live preview makes it a good learning tool.)

The Xbox is sold at a loss but overall is a profitable division for Microsoft. There is room in the market for loss-leaders, it's just a question of where to build a revenue model from. Unlike Android, HP could have run an end-to-end produc

I understand that. The problem is, at least for me, time is not enough of a differentiator to make it worth my while. If they removed commercials, for example, then it might be more compelling, but I'm hardly going to pay for a service and

The 8-day policy never made any sense to me. Let's say I have a show I regularly watch live on Monday nights. Then one week, I miss it. Since I don't want to watch the episodes out of order, I can't watch new episodes live for the rest of t

While it is true that they are (or almost are) adults and should be able to make their own decisions, I think you'd be hard pressed to say that there is nothing wrong with a bank giving a $200,000 dollar loan to someone with absolutely no i

What you're missing are the loans. College loans are cheap money, which change the equation so that price doesn't matter nearly as much. It's almost an identical situation as the housing bubble: people get cheap money to pay for college, wi

I think you're missing the point of Buffett's argument. He's not paid a huge salary, he's making the vast majority of his money off of investments, and because he invests for the long-term, it means that when he does take profits, they'll b

Chrome hides the version number, because 98% of the time, it doesn't matter. There's no mention of it on there download page ( http://www.google.com/chrome/ ). They make it available only if you need to get specific. Firefox, OTOH, still ad
