    I wonder what's their source for this infographic (or how old it is). $1 per second equals $31.536.000 per year. That's only 204.5 billion for Samsung which had 268.8 billion in 20…

    Because it is too small. Not even in the hundreds per second. $100 per second equals $3.15 billion in yearly revenue and Twitter has roughly a tenth of that ...

    The recorded signal would be exactly the same. GPS just sends the clock of the GPS satelites and their positions. You then calculate your position from the runtime of the signals .…

    Hell, even my 10 inch tablet has a 2560x1600 resolution and Japan Display displayed a 7 inch panel with that resolution in November 2012 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yGsWT9wfc…

    I think the problem was that the A class had no ESP ... after they noticed that it could fall on its side in extreme slalom, this was one of the first (non-luxury) cars to include …

    I don't think busses, self driving or not, could ever compete with high speed trains. I have yet to see a bus driving 220 mph on a street crowded with other cars, busses and trucks…

    At prices of 60 cents per GB in SSDs and Apple asking for $100 for 16, 32 or 64 additional GBs? $300 might buy you a 512 GB SSD ... and on an iPad it justs buys you 128 GB instead …

    The iPhone5 is smaller than the average Android device, right? I have no problem to reach the upper left corner with my thumb on a Nexus 4 ... and yes, the author is probably right…

    5-6 MB/s is fine? My backup runs with 100+ MB/s and still feels awefully slow :/

    If it is anything like the C300, it would be one reason not to buy the car. One can only speculate what Crysler thought while trying to make a working interface (especially voice).…

    Well ... I live in a country without voting machines and we still manage to count all votes on the same day. There is no need for faulty machines, is there?
