Does this mean I can buy my friends a beer? Because that'll be better than buying them a ... cupcake.

Nobody will be okay with that? You're joking right? Every person out there who aren't technical, won't give a shit. Free music? They'll do anything. I bet these people will think, "It replaces advertisements that I don't even see anymore be

No, you don't have to. It's just annoying when people give talks, or make interesting videos for a product and they forget about people who may be hard of hearing, Deaf or from overseas. That's such a big chunk of the market that they're

I'd really really like to watch this video, and countless of other awesome tech videos -- but I can't, there's no captions. As someone who is hard of hearing, I have to wonder how many things I end up missing out on when I can't watch thing

... how is it being successful on social networks anyway? I haven't seen anything about this on Facebook. It just feels like the bottle belongs to someone else. I'm allowed to feel weird, if I want.

I'm in New Zealand myself, and I really hate this. I drink Coke as a guilty pleasure, but when they bought this in I got really turned off. I'm not going to drink Coke that's for "Callum", "Katherine" or <random name that's not mine nor

That's what I hate about my country right now. We're seemingly bending over to all the whims of the US. Not cool. We're supposed to be independent little hobbits, not getting in the affairs of things that don't concern us.

The funniest thing is this guy started reverse engineering by reverse engineering MTA to create bots that followed people to kill them and all sorts of other hacks. Now look where he is. I find that an awesome progression!

Still completely hopeless. However, I'm great at putting Math into an algorithm, or using code to work out a problem (this was not acceptable in school...) I passed compsci with good marks, went straight into jobs so I'm obviously not that

This is a thing?! Huh. For as long as I can remember, this has been me. I remember when I was 6, sitting in a class-room with a Math test before me. If I got something wrong, I'd get severely yelled at however when people yelled at me for d

That's ugly. It doesn't even look like a skateboard. I think the reason Boosted Boards looks so awesome is the fact it actually looks like a longboard... with a motor !

I remember when this started happening, something trickled over to Reddit and so I investigated to get the full story. Needless to say, it was rather quite horrible and I really did feel for the girl. At the same time, I was utterly confuse

This could probably go a long way. You're talking about the pod taking a before picture, and then an after picture then using some computer-vision library to decide on positive/negative points for that stay? That could work quite well. Even

I'm pretty sure that Kim Dotcom hasn't broken any NZ laws. Only a law in the USA. That's why the whole case is really borked.

How will this technology work in say, New Zealand? There's a lot of backroads, gravel roads and roads that don't appear in Google Maps. I guess it would be interesting to see a Google Car, flying around on some back gravel road in New Zeala

I suspect after the technology becomes wide-spread, new laws will be made to minimise people buying (human-driven) vehicles. Cars will probably require some expensive licence to drive, older cars will not be allowed on the road unless an ex

I'm not sure if that makes it any less scary. I wonder what reactions are going to stem from this event? You know, to every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction. EDIT: Explain the down-votes. Things don't just happen with
