Let me elaborate;

I have released a ton of digital pictures under Creative Commons, for damn good reason. However, this solitary picture was not released under CC. Google just helped themselves to it.

I know you Google guys are here, I've read your posts, I have nothing against you. You are walking over the line here, and i'm telling you now before a legal team does.

I hope you listen.

This documentary is great, I thought I knew the Tetris story, but this filled in every blank.

I liked the "tracking the dust in your phone" part. Hehe

An interesting article for sure. I sure wouldn't have predicted what happened to digg.com.

Also with automatic videos playing on so many sites, mixed with bandwidth limitations set by telcos, some users might opt out of websites that do that to save on bandwidth.

Will Intel release it as a patch/firmware for those of us who have hardware by OEMs that aren't likely to offer anything?

Prime is just a sunk cost. You think, "Hey, I have prime!" and order from Amazon. "I was going to anyway" you think.

You stop price checking. Amazon is far from the cheapest place to order things now. Depending on the item of course.

Next time price check an item before just grabbing it on Amazon, I did. Saved over 40% by doing so.

I think stupid fits the definition of insider trading.

Ages ago when I'd see something like this, I'd grab their affiliate code from the URL, then email the advertiser the site and offending affiliate code to them as an FYI.

No idea if anyone ever bothered to look, I just moved on.

Shouldn't this be way more efficient for computing?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible_computing

"In other words, we would need to precisely track the state of the active energy that is involved in carrying out computational operations within the machine, and design the machine in such a way that the majority of this energy is recovered in an organized form that can be reused for subsequent operations, rather than being permitted to dissipate into the form of heat."

A rolling fleet could be amazing.

If say a typical car/insurance payment was ~$500 a month, and an on-demand auto car service was $499 a month or less, it could work.

You never have to park. You can work/browse/call on the ride. Get dropped off right in front of wherever you're going. Could work out really awesome.
