Is there anything in the plans for an emergency shut down? What would happen if for some reason a car stopped in the tube. If there were a car racing down the tube behind it, what kind of emergency breaking system would it use? Or is this a one car at a time type system since a trip is only 30min long?

They couldn't calculate exposure? haha, yeah right. Say your exposure at 24fps is f-5.6, but you're going to shoot at 18 fps instead, you only need to close down your f-stop about 1/3-1/2 of a stop. It's not guess work at all...if you know anything about photography, it's pretty basic stuff. Also, on many light…

I thought this was common knowledge? I am so extremely disappointed with Gizmodo's reporting for the majority of this year...

It's true, I never understood, or liked the fact that by default, Instagram ONLY uploads your photos to it's servers, then it's a couple extra button clicks to save it to your phone...I had always thought that was odd...

he doesn't seem to be a very good magician...he used a very simple and classic effect, and couldn't even do it well...you can buy that trick at ANY magic store. I know 8 year olds that can do that trick better than he did it.

Mythbusters did this YEARS ago.

you really need to stop using, "if you will" in your writing.

only silent films ran at 18fps, where as sound films run at 24fps. the reason most silent films look odd is because they're played back at 24fps rather than 18fps, so they appear to be sped up, cause...well...they are. some VERY early film even ran at 12fps, and this is where the term "flicks" comes from, because…

lens cleaning solution isn't expensive, and also get yourself a nice microfiber cloth for wiping it down. As others have said, I'm going to disagree, DON"T get a UV filter. Unless you're spending A LOT of money for a really nice glass UV filter, you're wastin your money. Why would you put a cheap piece of plastic…

mythbusters did an episode where they very scientifically and clearly proved that cell phones and other electronics do not, even a little bit, interfere with the instruments on an airplane.

gorgeous table, but wouldn't the wooden surface interfere with card play? Card tables, specifically at casinos, are made of fabric which gives nice traction on the cards, making the handling of cards much easier.

Interesting. I saw an article quite awhile ago, don't know if it was here, that was talking to possibly someone from apple, that said, they would love to have their products produced here in America, it's not so much the price that makes us ship it over seas, the fact of the matter is they are better workers and they…

holy shit, this is the third post today of something on Gizmodo that I saw on Reddit first...like over a week ago...

awwww Jimmy...I appreciate what you did...but I really was curious to see if people could tell the difference between the two coffees...

so really...once again...Gizmodo has given us a misleading title...it seems like, no, it's not okay to use your phone during sex, unless you don't mind being an asshole. The only time it's actually acceptable, is when most human beings would allow it anyway...when you know you're expecting something and it's…

wow...totally missleading title...WTF!?!?!?!?!? Also...I'm pretty sure, extremely similar experiments have been done before.

wow...I had to stop watching because it's so terribly put together...what the hell is up with the two screen? Why are image sequences repeated? it makes absolutely no sense...it's statement isn't clear, and on top of it, it's totally boring.

holy shit...how many times am i going to shit this video reposted....

the song they used rips off "The Scientist" by Coldplay.

You should mention that all of those focal lengths designating whether the lens is fish eye, standard, or telephoto all depends on your sensor size, or film size.
