Vaccines come in multiple doses. Some countries space out each dose every other month, others do it every two or three months. It varies. The US schedule is similar but not the same as many countries in the EU. Big pharma also keeps push

Two issues at stake. Are they effective and what are the side effects? Vaccines are good against a known thing, such as Hepatitis B or Polio. So you would want your kids to be vaccinated against things like that. However the flu vaccine

A small step? So what would the full step be? What would the consequences be? Will nobody in the future be able to refer to another person as 'him', 'her', 'she' or 'he' unless they have full confir

I'm surprised Russia wasn't thrown in there too. Why it is always the usual suspects of China and Iran? Why don't we get to see a list of webpages blocked by Western countries? Who is the team responsible for GetLantern and

Gold has survived for thousands of years as a store of wealth. It has intrinsic properties, it is one of nature's unique elements. It cannot be synthetically created. Bitcoin's scarcity is based on a completely fictional and arb

Not really true. We could fork the software and call it something else. Maybe change the hashing algorithm and the hard limit on the maximum number of coins, like Litecoin did. Trivial to do. There is no intrinsic difference between a Bi

The Chinese are gambling. In Hong Kong, they gamble more money on horse racing in a single day, than the UK does in a whole year. In Macau, single card draw is popular, for an instant adrenaline rush, nobody wants to sit around a poker tabl

True but for any discerning techie, root it and you can have nandroid/titanium backups, pushed to the cloud, or pulled via wireless adb, or even bittorrent sync (in lieu of an open-source solution for now). The Moto-G is nice except fo

Hmm, so Sheryl Sandberg and Marissa Mayer "made lots of news"... is that why they should be included? One is a corporate hack who had a book ghost-written, the other is a corporate hack who once dated Larry Page and landed a nice
