@Arken: Nice.

@Michael: Theoretically, nuclear stability predicts that everything up to iron can be produced by a star without requiring a supernova. Elemental abundance drops off by a couple of orders of magnitude after you pass iron in the periodic table too.

@atrus123: The IE DHTML model predated the standards you bemoan them for not supporting. The real failure was on the part of the W3C and their severe case of 'Not Invented Here' syndrome.

I find the portable turntable during stargazing, in the video, to be pretty indicative of Twitter's target audience.

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.1.2: Cats are too evil to be allowed near Google headquarters. They cannot be trusted with the power.

Pretty good, but slightly wrong.

@OCEntertainment: But, but...

@Zaos: You forgot to use the #correctionscorrections tag.

@kabster: Pork comes from Congress and no military oversight short of dictatorship will prevent that.

@svendoza: Broken window fallacy.

A good converse to consider is the Predator drone. For exactly this reason, the ridiculous overmanagement by DoD bureaucrats, the entire project was a private endeavor of GAAS. They took no funding - and no direction - from the Pentagon during its design and development.

@Ham_Sandwich: 50 million laptops will be sold this year, and I'd estimate that each has on average at least 6 Li-Ion cells in its battery pack. That's an annual production of 300 million Li-Ion cells, just for laptop computers.

@GuyWithDogs: Which they just did.

@freedomweasel: That is actually pretty cool. TDMA in the visual spectrum.

@Cromwell: This is something I wrote on the topic a few months ago. It's still relevant:

Unsurprising. 3D is a gimmick and a desperate move by a lot of desperate companies (especially Sony).

@Hello Mister Walrus: Indeed.

This guy doesn't need charging either.

@Ham_Sandwich: The battery pack alone in the Tesla costs almost twice what a Mega City does (some quick googling reveals).
