As the video pointed out, only about half of government officials in Hong Kong are directly elected by the population. For the remainder, there is little pressure or incentive to g…

I'm not entirely sure, but he may have taken exception to the following from your piece: >Of course, you and I know that the latter is just a general form of the former, but somebo…

Could this be an April Fools gag? I wish I had screencapped it, but at one point I found myself in the middle of the screen, watching four swarm-like quadrants of fellow ships (top…

Admittedly I know nothing of the regulations surrounding such a proposal, but what of some sort of revenue sharing? Donating to the project guarantees you a share in the village's …

It would be interesting to see a Kickstarter project devoted to this. It would need to get big fast (Friday deadline to submit an offer), and would need both the $440,000 minimum t…

Dinosaur Comics has a nice one: http://qwantz.com/index.php

Which of his statements do you find to be factually inaccurate?

>Interestingly enough, Jobs himself was also considered for knighthood by the Queen of the United Kingdom, but the proposal was blocked by a former Prime Minister because Jobs decl…

I would imagine that the Washington DC Metro area (DC, Northern Virginia, Maryland) has a reasonably sized proportion of that "(Rest of the) United States" total. The startup scene…

It would be helpful if you could enumerate the ways in which his/her statement was naive. It seems to be a relatively logical conclusion that being told or influenced not to say so…

The parent comment never passed judgment on this self-image, just merely asserted that it was pervasive among Americans.

I cannot really help this inescapable feeling that the new design is somewhat obnoxious. It's just... there's something about the design that I just cannot get past. This will only…

tl;dr: Arrington discusses how he (and others who break news) usually first contact the subject of a news piece before publishing the story in order to inform them, get their side,…

You managed to pack a great deal of trolling into this post. Kudos for this one.

Could have something to do with the fact that you can be shot from quite a bit greater distance than you can be stabbed with a knife, hit with a hammer, struck with a steel bar or …

Exactly. Leave it to an executive of the MAFIAA (Michael O'Leary) to contort basic civic principles to slander anyone who stands up against their ridiculous, rights-trouncing mode …
