I'm a bit surprised that the Asus U36SD isn't in the comparison too; it's slightly lighter than the X1, although not quite as thin, has a better battery life with the integrated ba…

The article seems to be saying that the neutrinos appear to have exceeded c . If it were just neutrinos moving faster than photons through some non-vacuum environment, that would b…

> If it really is miles ahead of everything else then the whole concept of that type of software probably needs to be radically rethought. That's pretty much what I thought, readin…

> btw: the kindle, with passive E-ink, has 2 months battery (i.e. over x100 longer) And my TI-84 has had the same batteries for at least two years (it's getting to the point that I…

I'm hesitant to put an exact figure on how much that would cost, but, including all the RnD that you would need to get even a basic working system, I would say upwards of 1 million…

Given that Prey is free, open source, and has been around for quite a while, I think that it's fairly unlikely that this is a hoax.

Yeah, if it's impossible for a thief to use the computer then Prey is useless. It's why I have a guest account on my computer: if someone steals it, I want them to be able to get i…

My understanding is that it's not considered "true" open source by many people, because of the license that it's released under, but their website gives easy access to all the sour…

In vitro meat has been coming (in that it's been researched) for at least the last 16 years, and there have been edible forms since 2000. None of the other breakthroughs have lead …

I'm generally an Asus person, but the Sony Z series is just amazing. 16 hours of battery life with an additional sheet battery, 2.5lbs, a nice processor and an option for a 1920x10…

If jamming becomes common, it would take very little time for drones to be modified to be autonomous, or to follow a predetermined flight path if they lose contact with the control…

It's called a hellban. You can continue to read and comment, but no other users see your contributions. It's a really good way to deal with users who are posting spam (if you brows…

It would be really irritating for many people; that behavior is best left to the user and the browser (most mice have middle-click which opens a link in a new tab, and - on my lapt…

He's already in the USA, and his identity has been known for a while. That makes it sound pretty different to me - no issues with jurisdiction or identifying him. If Apple had a le…

> I wouldn't say security is impossible, but it isn't worth the time and effort some companies put into it. That's why I said that perfect security is impossible. It's entirely pos…

"It's probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in." - Lyndon B. Johnson Seems like an apt quote; from Apple's point of view, it's much…
