    The bill is only suspended indefinitely, not withdrawn. The protesters don't have what they want yet. It would not surprise me if the suspension were quietly lifted in the future w…

    5 minutes to make a burger from start to finish isn't the same as making 12 burgers per hour - the machine can probably prepare multiple burgers at a time (just speculation from th…

    Torrent or not, I want to see if any of my less tech-savvy friends are on the list so I can warn them even though I don't use Snapchat myself. It's much easier to convince them the…
