Me too. I'll take any extra limbs or even deformed ones over any form of cancer any minute. Plus, I could wag my tail and look cute when asking people for stuff. No one will be able to resist!

So basically, the iPhone 5 represents the limit of Moore's law pushed beyond its current frame. Coming soon: "The slightly bigger iPhone 5.1."

Agreed. It could have been a homemade pipe bomb, and it is better to be safe than sorry. The only thing anyone lost with this was time. If it had been real and no one paid attention, we'd be talking human lives. I do hate the fact that it means we have to be more paranoid than two decades ago, but it is today's…

To get this out of the way first, I think Apple's formula is not broken, so it does not need change. The problem with it is that it becomes a bit predictable in terms of what we see and feel with the products, even if the guts are a huge leap. An average Joe who uses his smartphone for Facebook updates, browse the…

Yet another cool use of the Kinect... that is not applied to an Xbox game (yet). I do like where this is going though. I can almost imagine myself using hand gestures and voice commands while wearing a couple of sunglasses and saying "enhance... enhance... zoom... enhance... focus on that reflection... zoom on the…

Nah! I'm more like Ed Wood after a dose of mushrooms.

Thank you! I appreciate the sentiment. I am far and away from being a pro writer, but it is encouraging to hear things like this out of a short paragraph. Maybe I should try writing short stories on a website to see where that goes.

I wonder if there is a similar explanation one could apply to the inaccuracy of Stormtroopers.

While this is incredibly interesting, a part of me cannot help but think of some greedy scientist accidentally creating a super-resistant bacteria that poops more gold by eating human flesh.

Thor Odinson agrees with your sentiment, amusing mortal.

Would this help in any way to reduce the resistance that bacteria develop against medication? Just asking...

Four years? Sweet Lord in Heaven, how did you manage to survive the torture?

Okay. So, in Mars, there's some indication that there was water in the surface, yet it is now a huge desert. And now this article says Venus is hotter than Mercury, while also colder than Earth, given one heck of a greenhouse effect. Sounds like we lived in Mars, screwed it up, then lived on Venus, screwed it…

Somebody kill that thing with fire! I don't care if a meteorite supposedly did the job. That thing is going to wake up in the middle of the night and it will be HUNGRY! Light any remains on fire, then douse them with acid, then light the acid on fire, then take it to the desert and nuke them.

A-yep! Looks like Fred Flintstone had it all figured out.

For a moment there, I though the couches were actually made of rock until I noticed the patterns.

I wouldn't pay the subscription. I bet it would come with some kind of annual obligation, a la "quit early and you'll owe us a fee, cuz we're too greedy, just like AT&T".

Erm... what's an X-Box doing in the picture if there's no category for best videogame console, or worst use of a Kinect peripherial, or meh use of a Windows-8-like interface, or best tortilla heater?

Like the "soup" tatoo that was supposed to be "courage" on Penny's butt in The Big Bang Theory?

I'd say she actually exposes herself to the worst possible hack of all: by having no email at all, someone can create and handle an account with her name on it, and spoof a government domain.
