This is long overdue. This seems like a Jalopnik post, but there should also be a 5 cent way to elevate this receptacle above a passenger's hip/thigh. On the front seat, there's usually a big console there anyway, so I don't know why they couldn't just be permanently higher. The extra lateral movement that might allow…

I just tried it again to see if their query interpretation had improved at all, and its still woefully lacking. It seems to have great back end intelligence, but its not very useful if its so poor at interpreting a question.

If customers can be required to have smart phones, the 2 stage login that Google offers, generating an optical QR code that the phone verifies, could be pretty durable. While it should be obvious to someone that it's pretty suspicious to be asked to repeat your password, other than during registration, getting rid of…

I don't see where it's at any risk of popping open at all. The problem however is that it trades the isolated instances of finger pain to the on going nuisance of narrow items sliding into the open crevice it leaves, which would be gripped, then cracked or torn. I suppose that could be avoided with careful placement,…

That's the toroidal flow. The video gives a concise example of that with a battery in a jar of short grain rice.

Just BTW, the balloon doesn't make the person any lighter, or less dense, it is the roundness and surface area that does it, due to toroidal flow illustrated in the video Hammerhead sent, (getting to the point at around 2:40).

Just curious if the concept for these bags is to increase the surface area and roundness of the avalanchee, to resist immersion. I assume so, since I don't see any buoyancy that the air can provide against snow.

You'd think the estate would have adequate control over his image to prevent what must be an unauthorized endorsement. The endorsement/tribute boundary isn't that hazy.

That's a real live writer working for Gizmodo. Well done. Thanks.

This doesn't seem imminent. They haven't achieved comparable results with video yet, (unless it's a very well kept secret), even if it could possibly reach the necessary form factor.

A well nuanced illumination of this technically tinged crime story. It's good to see Biddle's fluency applied to substantive stories that don't need artificially added drama.

I guess I meant to say occluded surfaces. Optical scanners in general have a problem detecting interior/enclosed spaces. So, while this will do a great job creating visual replicas, (though only marginally better than existing scanners), this doesn't address any notion of fully duplicating solids which was what I…

This doesn't seem to enable the capture of concave surfaces.

Right, iTunes U has been available since around '07, but this integration of textbooks now closes the otherwise incomplete loop. Economics aside, where sponsors will start pitching in over time, (though it will be a challenge to stop users from putting covers over their sponsor's decals), this production and delivery…

It is a huge coup for Apple. Distance learning has been brewing since the late 90s, (when I helped develop some of the first on line courses), but has simply suffered from the lack of standardization that this now provides. I'm only surprised that the publishers fell in line, since this surrenders a big chunk of…

This is a ridiculously sensationalized article, which I'm now recognizing many of Biddle's are, that tries to make workplace security sound like fascism.

Are arms allowed in territorial waters, but just not ports?

Yes, that one looks better leaving than arriving, but there are a few good Lincoln front end concepts. Something in this MK9 neighborhood, [www.netcarshow.com] or others where they don't split the grill. Having a center grill has been central to its theme for decades, so they should leverage that.

It doesn't make sense to even bundle speakers with a theater quality display. Full quality audio performance takes more than could possibly fit around a reasonable screen bezel. Quality sound isn't going to happen without external speakers and amps.

Those links are the concept cars that preserve the Lincoln heritage. It would be great if they could make the investment in entirely new platforms like those. Those are from an era that escaped all the pointy edges and slanting lines that profuse too many brands, which are more based in Anime and transformers toys…
