This is anti-technology bigotry. Where did you get that from? It's nothing to do with technology per se, it's about the sedentary position we adopt when making use of that technolo…

It was Patlabor 2, a heavy duty labor that could drive over the top of cars to access a bomb threat parked on the bridge ahead. Great movie, by the way.

What an obnoxious article. Of course the world cup "matters", it only had about 3 billion viewers of the final for fuck's sake. If that isn't "mattering" then I'd love to know what…

My favourite CouchDb commercial: http://vimeo.com/11852209

Well done guys. But don't forget to credit Bryant Cutler ( http://bryantcutler.com/ ) for the awesome logo. update: downvoted? why? I really think the guy should be credited. He di…

"Currently, the specification only allows for a 100Mb/sec Ethernet connection, but the alliance claims HDBaseT will be scalable up to 1Gb/sec in the future. Similarly, HDBaseT can …

A room of one's own and GBP£500 a year? Now where have I heard that before.

The daring fireball article did say "sold". Other comments here have indicated that Verizon were giving the units away just to get rid of them. Maybe they didn't pay MS for those. …

How about "to prove he wasn't just making the whole thing up"?

I don't believe that for a second. Most people I know can get any drugs they want, and yet they're not a bunch of drugged up crazies, just like most adults can buy alcohol whenever…

Wow, I've been doing daily meditation all these years and didn't even know it!

How come it says tethering is new? Tethering has been available on the 3GS for ages, I've used it numerous times.

Pure fantasy. And you are completely ignoring probably the #1 source of anti-US hate - their proxy support of Israel. There is no Chinese equivalent, nor is there ever likely to be…

Yeah man. Maybe you should zoom out on Google Maps and see who lives nearby, especially anyone who might have (say) the world's largest standing army, and then come back and explai…

I suspect that the advent of nanotechnology is going to cause civilisation upheaval the likes of which we haven't seen since the industrial revolution, if ever. All this shit will …

Oh. Right you are. I hadn't heard of it, but it looks interesting. Certainly a big time-saver to get all that for free.

Looks like the project web site also has a custom ticketing system and repo browser. Why not.

All this pain to drop $2.5k per year on a Nikon camera? Dude, seriously, just take a few months and learn some skills at something, then get a decent job using them. You'll be able…

I am pretty sure if you had just left clicked it like a normal person you would have been fine. And wow, 1 second after you click a video link, Windows Awesome Firewall™ says somet…

The whole point of the tax is to discourage consumption. If Ms W. Queen can't afford the tax to feed concentrated diabetes inducer to her little angels, then good! Success! Non-die…

the Chinese government doesn't care about freedom of speech Oh, I think the CCP cares very deeply about freedom of speech. Just maybe not in the way that you'd like ; )

That is utter hyperbole. Google never had the "freedom of speech for ~1.3 billion people" to trade. They do not and probably never will have anything like that kind of power. I am …

Care to provide some evidence that it is being done, ie. that artists are happy with the payment arrangement negotiated on their behalf with Spotify et al on the basis that it cons…
