This could work, but if genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, then you better have 99 cups of coffee for every one beer.

I haven't tried vinegar, but I always get rid of hiccups by sucking on a teaspoon of honey. Works every time - and tasty, too (especially compared to vinegar)!

I've been thinking the same thing! I find it strange everyone has hopped on the 7-min title when it is not a 7-min workout! 6 min or 8 min would be accurate. Makes me wonder how many people talking about it have actually done it!

I've been using this workout for the past few days and I really like it. That said I just don't understand where they came up with the "7 min" title - when I add up the exercise time I get 6 min total exercise and 8 min total with rests. Also, if you do the side plank on both sides, which none of these apps seem to…

I use Things on the iPhone as a capture device/to do list. As a stay-at-home Dad and Author, I would go completely insane without it. I have lots of other apps, but 90% of my time on the phone is spent on keeping myself organized.

I think the short answer is that the best one is whatever you are used to. There is nothing worse than using a different operating system than what you are used to and having to stop what you are doing to look up and figure out how to do some small task that you would instantly know how to do on the other.

I think most people, and especially libertarians, tend to forget that humans are idiots. The founding fathers knew this and so they wrote something called the Constitution specifically to protect people from themselves. That is why the Constitution does not say "everyone should just do anything they want all the…

TRS-80 with a cassette tape drive! Great for playing Adventureland.

A gun has one purpose: to kill. If you buy a gun designed specifically for hunting, then you can make the argument that you are going to kill game. Anything else, handguns, assault rifles, etc. have the sole purpose of killing people. Add an extended magazine, and it has the sole purpose of killing LOTS of people.…

That's what I was thinking! Nothing like a big rogue missile blasting into space to make you want to lean back and ask the world if it wants a smoke now that its been fxxxed.

As people are pointing out, people leave stuff on the street because they want someone to take it away (like old sofas and appliances). My guess on the folks who broke it up is that they wanted the metal frame to sell for scrap, and so took that part and dumped all the wood.

"Some hold with the theory"? I think anyone who held that theory died out about 100 years ago. I thought io9 came from the future? Wait, maybe the past is the future! Whooa!

Real problem: the music is off — big band swing music would not have been performed until about 20 years later. Clearly she is a time traveler.

Every time a person says "I don't believe in global warming," there's an oil executive somewhere that gets an extra $100,000 in his bonus.

His "system" reminds me of the old Steve Martin routine: How to be a Millionaire and not pay taxes. First, you get a Million Dollars. Second . . .

Can Santa send me The Prisoner? I am not a number!

Chomsky is a smart guy, but he's directly quoting David Marr:

90% of the time I am using Things. After that, Apple's built in Camera app.

In case you were worried about the robot apocalypse — don't be.

I think the key to it all is the looping aspect: the timelines are sequential. Each new loop makes a new future, but the past loop is still intact as the past events that lead to the new loop (though eventually forgotten by the characters as the new loop takes over). The first loop should be Old Joe is sent back and…
