It's a matter of people blowing something way out of proportion. Something that isn't even remotely harmful, especially when you consider the other crap that people eat.

There's nothing inherently wrong with the iphone 5...incremental upgrades in hardware are expected, nothing really exciting there (to the point where I think these big events have become pretty pointless). The real issue is iOS, which has become increasingly stale in comparison to its competitors.

and I repeat...yawn

yawn

these are the types of articles that should be on giz. +1

I was under the impression that Lyrica had replaced gabapentin as the go-to treatment for neuropathic pain (maybe I should have said "one of the few" instead of "only", although the story of gabapentin is very similar to Lyrica and they both are very similar in how they work. Both originally were created as GABA…

A good number of pharmaceuticals were developed for one reason and end up being used as another. Lyrica (the only real treatment out there for neuropathic pain right now) was originally intended for an entirely different purpose (increased GABA transmission for treatment of things like epilepsy). Plenty of other…

You have no idea how drug discovery works do you...

Well at least the jurors are inadvertently helping to fix their obvious failure to do their jobs by coming out and telling the press just how incompetent they were...

You learn how to not spell check or even read through your work before publishing it; you learn to write outlandish titles for articles that have little substance (or relation to said outlandish title); you learn to start flame wars between Apple Fanboys and FAndroids. Hmm what else...Oh right, you learn to use…

Replying to basically simply say "don't reply to me again" - how ironic. I'd already written this off as another Giz commenter incapable of saying anything worthwhile and hadn't given it another thought since then, so good job bringing it back up again.

And I didn't say never. I just said it will not happen in the next several generations. And likely beyond that. As someone who is spending his life researching the brain, I can say you to with absolute confidence that not only have we not even scratched the surface of the depths that is the brain, but we don't even…

And you say that based on what?

tl;dr

Good points. I'd also like to point out that dictation is never going to replace the keyboard in terms of having to do real word processing (or anything that falls under real "typing" whether it's data entry or even writing an email that's longer than a sentence or two). The idea that somehow you're going to replace…

you're kidding right? Just about every single "innovation" about the iPhone existed in some form or another in other mobile devices already. Apple just did what Apple does best...polished it up real nice and did a bang-up job marketing it.

Is there some trick to U-Locks that makes them worse than just a heavy duty chain? Because, I mean, unless we're talking about the type of super chain that aircraft carriers use for their anchors I'd think cutting through a chain would be easier than a U-lock

I'll read through the whole paper when I get to work, but just from what I gleaned from this synopsis you're decoding information in visual cortex that corresponds to the position of a letter in a region of space (like a virtual keyboard that when the patient thinks about a specific region, and creates an internal…

Uh...Google isn't the one holding up Android updates...if anything, they've been pumping them out faster than people really want...
