It was speeding. Bill is well-known for his love to fast cars. Later, in Seattle, he held the record of fastest Microsoft -> SEA airport drive, for a very long time. The legend say…

Once more we marvel the prophecy of this designer: http://stocklogos.com/topic/past-and-future-famous-logos First he predicted next Microsoft logo, now Nokia. Bravo!

This is simply unkind to the competition (and to the poles alike): "Tesla achieved this outcome by nesting multiple deep aluminum extrusions in the side rail of the car that absorb…

That's not necessarily a bad thing. A little factoid: out of ~4000 space launches that have happened so far, about 1500 (~40%) were done using delivery vehicles derived from an ICB…

not really an API, but related: touchless/cardless ATM: an App on my phone which I can use to find the nearest ATM and make a withdrawal. It knows my account credentials. I tell it…

This has been answered million times: besides the historical reasons (which are extremely powerful), it's performance. Performance not as in how fast would it take to calculate thi…

those are space ship failures, not rockets. the current failure is one of a rocket (delivery vehicle).

If one watches a few more episodes of the show, it would become obvious that the Prius fuel consumption test was a joke, like everything else in the show. Come on, we can do better…

It's similar to saying that having expendable bullets and grenades is OK until you use the last one while still on patrol. Solution: preparing for it by taking more. Knowing that t…

Some of the things you're listing are must-haves (secure channel), but most are not. If increasing reliability and versatility makes the drone last 10 times longer and costs 10 tim…
