Precisely. YouTube was, is, and probably always will be a terrible investment.

This is a very good point. Both my grandfathers passed away when I was young (i.e. before I took any important exams), whereas both my grandmothers are still alive and kicking.

Just grabbed a few, thank you!

To a lot of people, Twitter isn't a 'web page' per se . Countless consumer devices have Twitter clients that do not in any way resemble a web page.

I came across a similar network of fake accounts a while back. This search pulls up about 40 fake accounts: https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=Lil+sis+is+up+coughing... Interest…

As much as my personal beliefs align with Aaron's and I am saddened by his passing, I think people are being more than a little disingenuous in their references to the charges he w…

I wouldn't be so sure on the LED/CCFL issue. LED backlighting is still a consistency nightmare, with bleed and clouding being the norm.

At the same time, I assume a standard like that only applies to people designing drainage systems for sale within the EU. Presumably if you are a corporation looking to design and …

Because it is ubiquitous, there is constant demand for it, a consistently high retail price, and there are plenty of retailers willing to fence it in large quantities.

Risk compensation is observed all over, and is often subconscious. You carry pepper spray, you figure you've got things covered if you happen to be attacked, so you're prepared to …

A few obvious drawbacks without even reading into the subject: 1) The additional sense of security may lead people carrying pepper spray to take more risks, to travel through more …

I'm fairly certain that's the pun.

There was recently a similar issue with the article for the singer Paloma Faith. To cut a long story short, Ms Faith claimed to have been born in 1985, and given that she claimed t…

I'm inclined to agree with the author. There are a few parallels here with the logo for the London 2012 Olympics. When the brand was announced in 2007, it was slated. 80% of the pu…

People change; they come and go. To me, the notion of marriage flies in the face of this basic observation. How can you possibly commit to spending the rest of your life with someo…

The argument goes that internet dating has made commitment less attractive, and divorce more common. That's not necessarily a bad thing. In the future we will have fewer people cli…

I've always hypothesised alcohol consumption is largely independent of income. At both ends of the wealth spectrum you find people drinking far more alcohol than is healthy, just i…
