    I am surprised this has not been done by anti-SOPA activists. This would be using the tools Internet has created to save it shows well it's reach. This I think is the easiest way a…

    I don't think companies are of the hook here, especially large ones who control large segments of their industry. It might be hard for them sometimes to change what consumers want,…

    Interesting to see that UPS stand out from the crowd. They chose that color because it looks professional and dignified, but I'm sure there is some benefit from not looking like th…

    Most of us nowadays are well aware that you shouldn't post any information on FB that you don't want to be shared with broad range of people. We now know how flippant FB is about p…

    And yet, now they have this sizable user base waiting to be monetized. It's like selling razors for cheap and making real profit in selling the blades. If only HP had "blades" to s…

    I don't quite see how this find sheds new information on possibility of life on Mars. I though the greatest challenges to life on Mars were large temperature variations and lack of…
