You know what would be interesting? Doing this on our own DNA. What if that 0.1% difference between us and chimpanzees, was caused by such a capsule injected into a chimp by an extraterrestrial intelligence, and our key to interstellar trav

I find at times like this, it's good to offer an alternative perspective as well, as public criticism of a product can be easy to take personally. For what it's worth, I found the product incredibly intuitive and very easy to setu

Just the ones that you rarely have to deal with, but you do have to deal with. Like your insurer's site, your bank's, if you're in college and you have to take tests online, that too. Bank sites are just terrible in general. Why is my lea

I find that trying to ask my question at StackOverflow is the best way to improve. Because I have to think about how best to word my problem, and really make it clear and concise. And usually when I do that, I end up just solving the proble

Agreed. The narrator just got finished saying, "...over the din of the internet.", and then in the very next sentence they show little notifications with "connect to your social networks"? I don't see anything new or innovative about this i
