Bitcoin value didn't sink. The exchange rate on MtGox took a dip from $930 to $760 between yesterday and now but on other exchanges like Bitstamp it may have gone from $790 to $750. The rate on MtGox was higher than on other exchanges

The Macbook Air runs on a CPU with a nominal TDP of 15W vs 28W for the Macbook Pro Retina. I'm pretty sure a Retina display could run with the current Macbook air CPU given that they share the same integrated GPU. That will make a diff

Looks like the system can be gamed by an artist than listens to his 4 min track 24/7. If it pays about $0.007 per stream, listening to a 4 min song would pay out $75 - $10 of the subscription fee = $65/month/subscription. Tha

There is no motive to the use of Polonium 210. It was used on Alexander Litvinenko because the Russians wanted to show that they were able and willing to take the life of former agents that attacked their interests. What motivates the use o

Well, if you search for "windows safe mode", that went down too and "windows [version] safe mode" is systematically in the top 5 suggestions after "windows [version]". That may mean that people search less for

It's definitely a great incentive for users to update their hardware. If you could still use iOS3 on your iPhone 3GS, it would be reasonably fast and responsive but because the upgrade to iOS6 is free, you go for it only to discover th

I kept the title unchanged but it's very bad math. What they actually mean is that for each dollar spent in ads, you get 90 cents back on Android vs 2.62 dollars on iPhone. That's still significant though.

They don't have a subscription model on the iPhone and the first year is free on the other devices. Then you puncture the 30% the app store gets and you're left with a mid-low 8-digits revenue.

Maybe a silly question... but what prevents counterfeiters from making false copies of the old bill if the new bill is harder to counterfeit?

It looked obvious back then that touch screens would disrupt man-machine interaction. I can't help myself but see similarities between what Apple did in 2007 with the iPhone and in the early 80s with the Xerox PARC/Mac.
