"With a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels, the new iPad should not only be able to destroy the 720P Android competition in terms of video quality but also offer full 1080P playback on a tablet. In fact, that would make it the only tablet on the market with that feature. "

Read from my single sentence "military industrial complex." Which is what Boston Dynamics is a part of. And what Massive Dynamic is supposed to is a pretend part of. And Massive Dynamic was certainly inspired by General Dynamics and its industry peers.

General Dynamics is a real life cog of the military industrial complex.

No, it was funny. It was just an opportunity to engage in conversation on entomophagy, so I jumped :D

You'd be surprised. Most orthopterans taste remarkably like shrimp. Odonates taste like soft shell crab. I don't know what these taste like (and don't care because nobody is eating them), but your question may very well be more feasible than you'd imagine.

Dude, have you ever eaten suitable insects? It's not gross, it's the future. A grasshopper is appx 10x more efficient at producing edible (and tasty) protein as compared to a cow. Not to mention the issue of fresh water requirements.

You are my friend.

Fucking gorgeous.

First thought: Borg.

We have lots of parasitic and parasitoid wasps in N. America! That particular one you are looking at is probably is targeting beetle grubs as a nice place for her eggs to grow.

In the insect world, we find all sorts of parasitoids. In fact, we use some of them to our benefit as biocontrol agents. Primarily parisitoid wasps like Brachonids, etc., which have proven useful in combating the Emerald Ash Borer, and others against invasive lepidopterans and coleopeterans. They're an integral part…

Sorry. 5d MkIII an amateur body? Come again?

I don't understand why 5d mkiii and 1dx don't shoot 1080p @ 60fps. It's 2012. And if these bodies are intended to have the service life of their predecessors, we'll be into 4k as mainstream before they're updated. 5d mkii largely made the argument for dslrs as pro level video tools. There must be some calculated…

The seduction ad was a total winner, way better than this. I am glad they didn't neuter it, too. I've seen the cut/neutered version on various channels since the Superbowl, and it just doesn't have the same cinematic quality. I thought I was seeing a trailer for a new movie at first.

Not that it doesn't look fun. I'd jump on the opportunity to relieve a part of my crazy youth in a slightly safer manner.

No pedals?! As I remember it, trying to reestablish your feet on pedals on a swiftly downhill moving "Bigwheel" (trike) was the most perilous part. And our plastic rear wheels were flimsier and more slippery. And our front wheel was plastic too. And we were younger and more stupid.

More people than many occupy sites. The world is fucked.

Strictly speaking springtails (collembola), along with proturans and diplurans, are not insects. Hexapods, yes. "Bug" is a popular term for land dwelling arthropods including crustaceans, arachnids, myriapods, insects, gastropods, etc, but funnily enough 'true bugs' are much more specific than that, being in the order…

Getting to base camp is $2100? Rip off. I got there for $700, that's with airfare on Yeti Airlines to Lukla and with a guide and a porter, all lodgings and meals.

Will believe it when I see it through a pair of Google Glasses.
