But as you go back in time, it becomes increasingly unlikely. At some point it is so unlikely it can be disregarded. And the point of the article is that point is closer in history…

This is not going to be a five year parliament given the outcome. It might not be a five month parliament.

It ought to work with Handoff and let you open iOS Safari's current web page in Chrome. Currently you get a popup with the Chrome icon but it doesn't work because Chrome isn't 32-b…

>she's navigating it through the corridors of power and dealing with all the vested interests for and against it. Yes, but she doesn't seem to know what "it" is.

Well he did approvingly quote some nonsense that the reader would only work on a 'live finger' (presumably it is supposed to be able to detect the presence of a soul?). http://dari…

What did the "4" mean in the iPhone 4, then?

Exactly. It is a problem - I respect that Marco doesn't want to stich articles together, but I sometimes reach the end of an article to find myself unsure as to whether that really…

The logic of the first part of the article seems a little foolish. If he'd had the operation, it might have already spread and would still have killed him anyway. But, therefore it…

Right. They laughed at Einstein... But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
