That's USB2, not USB3, and also something that 99% of computer users are not going to run into.

While it is true that "reversed stupidity is not intelligence", that does not mean negative examples are without merits. Someone once said to me "A smart person learns from their mistakes, a brilliant person learns from other people's mista

He didn't ask me to post it and I didn't ask anyone to upvote it. The only thing I did was let him know I posted it, so he'd know some extra traffic might be coming his way. > Why on earth did you think other people would be interested

Let's follow the logic: Content developers own the content, but without Readability, who made an awesome app, they wouldn't get their content out to nearly as many people, so Readability gets a cut, but without Apple, who owns the distribut

Somewhat ironic commentary considering they were just as unable to ship the CrunchPad. And what did ship (the JooJoo) got completely panned in the reviews. Really the issue is that hardware is hard to get right and requires a lot of resou

Why? In this case, Watson use a buzzer just like the human contestants. It still has to take time to figure out the answer.

It doesn't matter, because the results (from the honeypot) had nothing to do with the searches, so it would have been impossible to clue Bing in directly by searching on Bing a lot.

No. I can't find it right now, but there was a burglar who successfully sued a guy who set up some sort of electrical booby-trap. He survived, but injured, and IIRC, won the suit.

While it is true that the requests that load the ads don't include the referrer, any Javascript loaded directly into the page can access the referrer (window.location.orgin). A lot of ad networks work this way, meaning they do have access

Your best bet is to get an actively managed brokerage account with one of the big players and try to convince your broker that they should get you a cut of the action. You'll pay some extra fees, but I don't think anyone smaller than a Gold

$3,000,000 per employee, most of whom are sales reps? They can get 2,000 employees for much cheaper than that. They were going after the user base and ridiculous profits.

What an immature response. I mean, I dislike PHP as much as the next guy, and I would shy away from working with it if possible, but if you're going to have this kind of response, you should save everyone the time and effort and just tell p

Agreed. Chrome OS is almost a strict subset of Android in terms of functionality. There are also a lot of reasons that storing everything in the cloud, especially from a laptop, isn't really a "feature" anyway.
