Stop by the Museum of Science in Boston to see a whole working wall of these sorts of mechanisms, or just check out the videos here: http://pie.exploratorium.edu/scrapbook/mechanisms/ The Geneva Movement is here:

I'd be really curious to see video of how this works with some common "updo" hairstyles. My girlfriend wears her helmet most of the time. But if we're going out for a nice dinner, she'll wear her hair up in a bun on

Couldn't the government make an argument that intentional removal of this language would be tantamount to violating the "gag order?" Would Apple be liable for lying about something that no one would ever know is a lie?

As someone who works in a museum designing web and html5 exhibit media, it makes me a bit sad that upon opening all the defaults are specific to creating advertisements. I know that's the business that Google is in, I just wish they wo

It's really odd to me that the traditional keyboard 10-key entry pad hasn't switched to the phone number layout. If the phone layout is more efficient and less error prone, why didn't keyboards start with the phone layout and
