Worse, there are websites where you cant scroll on the ipad. Even worse: all research journals that are published through Elsevier's sciencedirect.com do this.

Many of you may know Scholarpedia ( http://www.scholarpedia.org/ ) in which articles are primarily written by an expert. Unfortunately that leads to many articles being incomplete,…

Meteors rise and fall fast. Usually the excitement of great UIs wanes (that's why some people buy new clothes every year).

A very long article about the feelings that thousands members of 23andme already have. Lots of hyperbole in - i'm pretty sure every single person's genome has similar findings. Ple…

Then there is this study that showed that the Ignorants are making democracy work better: http://www.livescience.com/17498-democracy-decisions-ignoran... It's worth noting though t…

No they don't the author of the article took that into account. To be clear, that's not an american-only issue, but we need more studies to say whether it is a problem or not.

I think we should vote for the linuxbook pro: http://instablogg.com/3kIvTM The truth is macbooks are not good as linux machines, and it's a shame no other company makes similarly s…

People who use facebook are harmless sheep. Most have nothing dangerous to do and whatever they share is probably never gonna be used against them. On the other hand, not having a …

As retric says, your assumptions are wrong. Aggression is typically not returned to the rejecting object but to others. The offensive theories also happen to be wrong. For the reco…

You just explained what s wrong with unsubstantiated groupthink and bullying. I won't buy your book.

The connection between frustration and aggressiveness is largely false (1) , unless you can point to a reliable source. The nerds that I know are not at all as you describe, and I …

you realize that was 1 year after the situation started and after he contacted the funnyjunk staff

Good, keep them there.

One thing about ubuntu (and the reason i prefer it) is that it works well with new hardware mostly out-of-the-box. If you use it on laptops that is a big plus. If you hate too much…

The reason i prefer xubuntu is the fact that Kubuntu is going the way of ubuntu by investing heavily on eyecandy, touch-like interfaces and excessive UI bloat. KDE seems to be the …

Ours must be the only generation ever willing to blame the previous one for just about everything. Also, by what measure is the world a worse place today?

Well, go to Eurodisney and compare kids that speak different languages. French kids are generally well behaved, with other southerneuropeans being the noisiest.

A previous article about how chinese mothers are better created quite a stir. Is there some sort of parenting crisis in the US that leads to this kind of soul-searching? (I m not i…

On topic: this will probably not roll as-is. How about a $1/month fee (or even $1/year would be enough i think)? How about pay-to-read posts? Off topic, since a blog is the "hello …

That definition doesnt make sense. Guerilla warfare by definition attacks an army . Terrorism has to do with fear and coercion. Plus i don't think terrorists make any distinction i…

Indeed, it solves the wrong problem. We are not lacking in tech news access over here, we are lacking in knowing who is around, what is around, who is hiring, who is firing, who fu…
