My explanation: you're surrounded by more people than you're comfortable with, being urged to eat cake and other unhealthy things you may not usually eat, all the while being reminded that you're now even older than you were the day before. I'm going with stress as the killer.

Thanks for starting the obligatory pun thread. Almost every article has one, and people flock to it like zombies waiting for a meal. I, for one, will not partake in such brainless, icy humor. No, sir, not I.

Redundancy dependent on a non-redundant system? Yep, sounds good to me!

Brain, brain, and brain! What is brain?!

He's getting the brains as we speak. You did want one from Abby Normal, right?

Who loses anything? If you're tech savvy, it takes about 10 minutes to transfer the messages to your new account. So...what do you lose, exactly?

Nah, I can't understand those Aussies sometimes. Crikey and all that. Besides, what's up with Vegemite? Really.

Yeah, I could...if I had any money at all. But I don't. Oh, well.

I don't think that works before a certain age. Kids want to be everything at some point. My nephew is only 5, and already he's said, at different times, he wants to be a doctor, a basketball player, a hip-hop dancer, and an astronaut. And to be honest, at this level, there's no way to know which he'd be best at…

Which is why I asked about partial-screen updating. A conventional display needs to update the entire screen if a single pixel changes (and in practical use, it needs to update constantly even without any change occurring). An E-Ink display maintains its state at every pixel until it's actively changed, so you…

I fucking love this. No, not "freaking". My adoration for this video and the concept and lyrics behind it are beyond Bowlderizing. I. Fucking. Love. This.

I know it's just a metaphor. You want me to grow like the tumor that you're hoping will kill me. XD

In my world, a British accent always helps.

Yes, Noel Clarke plays Mickey. He's the only one I recognized, and when he came on I went back to double-check that it was him. Awesome.

It would, but the doctor can't load a gun while in the OR, so someone had to give him a hand.

1FPS? That's even slower than current E-Ink displays. I hope that was a joke...

Because I'm thinking further than just "this is what it's used for now, it should never be used for anything else". To me, E-Ink has always seemed like the future of display technology, and not just for books. Its main benefit is that it's extremely efficient, so battery life would be negligible—i.e. charging your…

Woo! I used to love that show! Haven't seen it in so long, though...sounds like my next torrent xD .

A picture of a man who speaks Spanish with a Spanish word on it is racist? Wow, guess we should stop putting English captions on all those photos of Americans. Or Brits.

You know, a pun like that should be illegal. Seriously, watch out for the long arm of the law. When they come, put your hands behind your head, because they'll surely be armed.
