    You're off by a factor of 10. That being said, it still seems dubious--given China's online population of 538 million people, that's $5.7 average per person spent, which is a littl…

    Although I still wasn't sure what "singles day" is (some sort of reverse of Valentine's Day?), it's a little clearer by itself than "double sticks day" (a phrase which yields all o…

    May have something to do with the climatic requirements of different varieties of the plant, similar to how Gewürztraminer performs best in a cooler climate but Grenache needs a ho…

    Yeah, that would have been pretty interesting. I don't know that most of the people on that jury had a strong opinion on the problems with our software patent laws though.

    I assume when he says "Western," he means people who had no idea who Psy was before this video, much less which album of his this was, and don't know "Spela Mig På Radio" from Adam…

    I have my reservations about the paleo diet that mostly have to do with the amounts of meat that its adherents consume, but out of curiosity, how can a food group that we are undou…

    I'm sure that's a valley that will be crossed in relatively short order. Whether that's a good or a bad thing is up for debate.

    Do you really think that spending $28 on a book is prohibitively expensive or are you playing devil's advocate? I've certainly bought computer games for $50, I definitely spend mor…
