Thanks!

The real Bender's eyes have square pupils.

Though there's no Neopixel library at the level of the current one for Arduino, you could drive the whole system off of the Imp. Mozilla built two RGB LED tickers, driven by an Imp…

It's spinning in the right direction if you're a satellite in a mid-altitude equatorial orbit.

Their 'Mentors' page is... interesting: http://socraticlabs.com/Mentors.html

The Kepler analysis team has only gone through the first two years worth of data. There are still two more years worth of exoplanets for us.

Some Ekranoplans (like the Lun mentioned in the article) have the ability to fly above the ground effect zone, though less efficiently. If rogue waves (or other rough sea) can be s…

Thank you! Wow, on a Retina display this looks just amazing.

These seem to be very low resolution (~500px). Are there high resolutions available? I tried finding one for Van Gogh's 'Irises' and couldn't.

Ahh, yes. A little digging shows that these tests are done at their McGregor, TX test site, and McGregor is well within hearing and visual range of the tests. https://www.google.co…

A launch is completely different from a private short-range test on a closed site. You could watch a launch live, and they are very public about the timing, purpose, and location o…

Does SpaceX document all their tests publicly? Or are we just seeing the successful ones? (If they've all been successful ones, will we see unsuccessful ones if they come in the fu…

The spellchecker doesn't actually kick in all that often. The better solution is to give flags back differentiating between 'unlikely' and 'impossible' email addresses.

Oh the edge cases will be so angry. There are a very few engineers at Google who have Gmail account names shorter than 6 characters. It's not the norm, but they exist. Their addres…

People have waited through so many failed attempts to record the drop that nobody wants to mention that they didn't 'really' record an unassisted drop. The bead is still connected …

I read his blog post and wondered why he didn't just OAuth in. You're absolutely right. I just assumed he was on a Gmail account.

I really like the side-by-side comparison, buy why use a dark, non-default background for the iOS 6 home screen and a light one for the iOS 7 home screen? It looks like you're toss…

Yeah, "I am high as a kite" and "Finally" are two I like to put in when I can. Gruber defined the genre. I just like to visit it.

You should. It's really good.

This is a superb point. When the photo is supposed to document the interview the photographer can't be the interviewer. It would be like a news reporter filming themselves.

An iPhone is never faster than a pro DSLR. From hip to eye, power on and shooting in under a second. There's a reason the power switch is part of the shutter.

Read it again, and note that not all news photography is photojournalism.
