It would definitely cause a huge disturbance, but none of those services are necessary, and to me that is key. Just 20 years ago we didn't use any of this stuff - they are all replacements for existing things. Whereas, if the backbone went down (which I'll concede Google is more and more involved with) - that would…

Google doesn't come close to running the world. The site could disappear tomorrow and there would be plenty of other options to replace their search. I'd lose my email at home and work, but every major service they provide has plenty of competitors.

UPS delivered me a nice gray suit last year. The outside package was addressed to me, but the invoice wasn't. I kept it of course, their error. Then I kept coming home to "Missed Pickup Attempt" notices. Every time I saw that I thought, "Package? What package?" Still trying to fit into the 32in waist though.

I thought this article was going to be about food served on airplanes in first class.

I would hardly call my job "hell". This after spending the last two weeks putting in 20 hours over the weekend. Everything about it is like a Seinfeld episode - based on assumption without addressing the issue head on. Standards in disarray? Publish them! When someone violates them, hold them accountable.

Kids are supposed to start Kindergarten at age 5. So for all the kids born this year, that'd be 2019. A birthday in January to August will result in the kid being 5 at the beginning of the school year. The Septembers - Decembers start at age 4 - those are the late birthdays, when compared their peers born in the…

Since when is July a "late" birthday?

Only 6% had affairs during the study. But that doesn't say anything about those who reported having affairs prior to the study.

Says the additional n00b who's first command won't be interpreted in DOS.

Over 90 percent of nuclear "waste" could be reusable, if our leadership got rid of outdated rules about reuse and storage.

Even the most secure bike can be stolen...

I am not sure what in-vivo solutions exist for measuring CO2 levels, though you can do so non-invasively using a nasal canula and the right device.

The increase in CO2 is the bigger problem with apnea, though you are absolutely right - having this data will be really helpful for those with apnea-related conditions. I love this trend in personal health monitoring!

Why, I make my own, of course!

There were TONS of articles about this. I did a search on Google with a custom date range ending 12/31/2013 and there are a lot of articles like this one that explain features of the Xbox cloud: http://news.xbox.com/2013/10/xbox-o…

I'm not "shaming" anyone. I'm refuting the argument that there are certain medical situations in which intense exercise and eating healthy (implying the establishment of a caloric deficit) do not result in weight loss. I never said anything about the emotional side of it and therefore can't possibly shame anyone…
