Ayn Rand - "Government 'help' to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off."

I think Ayn Rand may disagree with you - "Government 'help' to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off."

The rumored Amazon streaming offering would operate completely independently of the $100-per-yer Amazon Prime, and come in at a price around $8 a month to undercut competitors like Netflix and Hulu.

Question from someone who's somewhat visually impaired: Can people really see the difference between 1080p and 4K - even on a largeish 60+" screen - when seated a regular distance away? Or is this just a placebo/marketing ploy to get people to upgrade bigger/better/higher resolution with minimal benefits?

Werewolf Bar Mitzvah, spooky, scary. Boys becoming men. Men becoming wolves!

I had nearly the exact same experience! I turned it on earlier this week and thought there was a loud CRUNCH I hadn't remembered when Audrey II bites down on Audrey I. I was so completely stoked and shocked as the rest unfolded. As a longtime fan aware of the live show's ending (and fortunate enough to see the…

This might be unique to me, but maybe getting this piece of crap would help me get my wife to stop calling me "Ivy." If the stupid clock starts to freak out every time, maybe we could build up some sort of Pavlovian behavioral conditioning...

I met my wife on Craiglist in 2006. I had been living outside of a southwesern city in a rural area. I had grown up in NJ and moved out there after college to take a job. I dated a few of the women in town, and it wasn't working out. I decided to try online dating, but didn't want to shell out cash just yet; I was…

Anybody else think this looks like Arya Stark just got a new watch?

So, a fully-loaded book would run $16.10, plus the archetypal setting. We'd end up with tragicomedy biography about an outlaw aimed at mature readers. Sounds about right!

Hey Fatty! I've got a movie for ya: A Fridge Too Far!

By my unofficial Gizmodo count, we now should have batteries that fully charge in under 10 seconds, have 74x larger capacity, never catch fire, and last infinite charging cycles. Sounds legit!

Backdrop is currently live in Chromecast for iOS and rolling out to Chromecast for Android (by the time you read this, it may well have arrived for Android too).

Now you should get a giant canvas print of this photo of a giant canvas print of your photo. Go totally meta!

I have the Vizio S4251W-b4 and am very, very happy with the way music sounds through it. I primarily use bluetooth from my phone (a Galaxy S5) and the Vizio supports aptX.

Well, that's not exactly true. Chromecast doesn't have an on-screen interface, so @Tom Warp needs a device on the same network (such as the computer he was suggesting a WiFi PCI card, an Android or iOS device, or a laptop) to control it and cast content. And especially if he is thinking about a desktop, understanding…

Let's go with that! TWO FUN FACTS! Not only am I hard to please (which I find endlessly entertaining - isn't that ironic?), but naked mole rats are immune to cancer due to the same biochemistry that causes them to have saggy skin!

While you got the fun part right, it's debatable as a fact. Scientists theorize that they are cancer-free for two possible reasons, neither of which is their saggy skin:
- a ribosome that excels at producing error-free proteins

This guy (dog?) gets it! YEAH BUDDY!
