The problem with that belief is the fact that with current advances in medical technology our Senators and Representatives are working to a much older age. My US Representative Dale Kildee, was born September 16, 1929. He's been in office since he replaced a retiring incumbent in 1977. If I remember correctly he…

Let me ruin that for you, that insect is standing on a man's hand. How's that for a size reference ^_^

Is this an ode to the new Starship Troopers remake?

Differentiation. The manufacturers need to have their ROMs look different from one another. The hardware in the various price ranges is too similar from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Is this on the Nexus S 4G on Sprint too? I thought that those ran 'pure' Android without any carrier (or manufacturer) add-ons.

It's too bad that this entire AT&T/T-Mobile buyout is probably going to poison the waters against any Major phone company mergers for awhile. I'd love to see SprintNextel buy T-Mobile USA (SprintNextel-Mobile?) and use their combined spectrum to build out an LTE only network over the next few years using VOIP over…

Honestly, if Deutsche Telekom wants out of the US mobile market, they should just spin T-Mobile US off into its own company and let it sink or swim on its own. They almost certainly won't give them that $4 billion but we can dream right ^_^

Yeah, I saw a commercial that said December 6th on Discovery during Mythbusters a few hours ago.

It looks like Ubisoft's listening. They've decided not to release certain games on PC to avoid 'piracy'. I think that they're just avoiding money but that's just me.

I think the point here is that Apple may have an agenda. No one, I hope, seriously believes that Siri is intelligent enough to have an agenda...yet ^_^

Concerning the top-loaders, they're cheaper to buy (if not to use) and you can add clothes to them on the fly. Until she moved last month my mother still had a 14 year old top-loader it wasn't broken so it wasn't replaced. Simple ^_^

In most cases (roads & bridges) I'd agree with you but 100-150 years is pretty damned good for a water pipeline under constant pressure in my opinion. Do you know of much other American infrastructure built in the late 19th-early 20th centuries that is still being actively, heavily used today? Honestly, I think that…

In my area the water company is part of the city government. Our money goes straight to the city treasury so they don't get a profit. They just charge us the cost of pumping the water in and the cost of treating the sewage that comes out. However my hometown (Flint, MI) buys its water from Detroit and there is a…

This is part of the reason that I love my state ^_^ Here in Michigan we're surrounded by the five largest fresh water lakes in the world. If the situation gets too bad we'll just stop selling water to other states and we'll still have some to drink. However, at least in my home town, the underground piping…

Um...unless I'm just missing some sarcasm here, didn't the 'gold' release come out last weekend? If that's the case, then the game is done for most values of done.

They don't autostart. Did you click the picture to open the page? Try clicking the 'more' button or the headline. Since the picture IS the video clicking the picture starts the video. I had the same issue before.

I think that the first time someone asks you how their cooking tastes and you reply, "It tastes like purple!" that would be a clue something is different about you ^_^

Wow, I know this isn't io9 but no comments about the T'Rain (terrain) game engine in Neal Stephenson's latest book Reamde. That book has made me long for a game that has an engine that generates not only from the planet's surface up to the limits of space but from the planet's CORE to the limits of space ^_^
