It's the Cyanogenmod team - Chances are they'll have an Android L update out for it long before the other major manufacturers do, mainly 'cause they won't have to port their stupid teletubby skin that hides all the actual details over (I'm looking at you, TouchWiz).

In the UK, at least, the sets were called "Meccano", but generally the same thing, yes.

When I first heard about this, I thought it was based on the Penny Arcade comic of the same name: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/story/au…

Because it IS mentioned, if you would just, y'know, watch the video...

That's easy. Hollywood didn't. Marvel wanted to make Iron Man, and they wanted to make it their way. So much so, they founded Marvel Studios, a completely independent studio. Iron Man was their debut movie, and they have produced every single MCU movie since.

I'm very disappointed that they cut off the reply from "Flushed away":

Yes. Any decent bank would just issue her a new Personal Identification PIN Number.

I was always under the impression that, when they dropped "Classic" XBox support some time ago, the project was renamed to be more like it's GNU bretheren - XBMC standing for "XBMC Media Center"

Erm, I'm running Thunderbird x64 on Windows right now. Admittedly it's their "Nightly" version (Called "Daily", to contrast with FireFox nightly builds), but it's x64 and it's fast. So what's the advantage here?

Mr. W Heath Robinson, is that you? Or perhaps it is his colonial cousin Rube Goldberg?

It's something of a requirement, thanks to Geometry and physics. For Bloodhound to be called a "Car", it must run on wheels on the ground (Otherwise it would be an aeroplane or rocket). If the diameter of the wheel is 1m, then the circumference of the wheel is 2.4674m. 1,000mph is 1,609.340m/hour, or 26,822.4m/minute.…

And, as Vi Hart described, if it was covered in salsa and guacamole, it'd be a TexaMexaHexaflexagon.

Unfortunately, this really isn't the "Best First Motorcycle" - In the UK (at least, I'm pretty sure it's the same elsewhere too) Learner and new riders are restricted to bikes under 250cc, so this bike's predecessor (coming in at 249cc, and quite deliberately so) would be easily available. Not so this one.

No mention of the horror that was/is the Microsoft Sidewinder Dual Strike:

Except that you also need the lenses, which you can't just get off-the-shelf.

Does this mean that Facebook on Android is finally going to be blocked from tracking your whereabouts all the time, even when the app isn't "open"? 'cause that would be nice.

So they took an Autogyro with powered main rotor for VTOL.

I could be wrong, but that header image is from the "PlanLeaf" article posted before...

Why on earth are you storing raw chicken on the floor?
