What? No Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III?
I feel like I could outsmart this inanimate object by filling it with worthless boring rocks instead of exciting toys. Hehe, stupid bag...
Damn you Gizmodo! You don't joke around about things like that! I feel like the price for telling Star Wars fans that a "real" light-saber has been created, when in reality its a unless tube to shine a laser down, should be 1,000 years encased in frozen carbonite! Or a few minutes with Jar-Jar binks....whatever....
And on that note: didn't they also pretty much prove the opposite of this articles headline?
I feel like the difference between the headlines "Infant killed by playful lion" vs "Infant killed by hungry lion" is really just a semantic one...
No, that wouldn't quite work either. I'll admit that it would kinda work, some of the time, but as I am sure you know, RSSI doesn't actually measure distance, it measures signal strength. Now, I get that you would probably know the signal strength at of the source, and you could assume that the signal strength falls…
No, it couldn't. You could use Bluetooth to establish the file transfer between devices, that could be easily done with WiFi as well, or even over 4G using something like drop box like the article mentions. Bluetooth won't tell you when the devices are close together, let alone when they are touching and what their…
I really like this idea, but the problem is that it requires new hardware to be built and new standards to be implemented. I researched the Sifteo Cubes that this mock-up was based on, and it requires a set of EM or Infrared sensors to detect when two items are touching. Obviously computers and mobile devices aren't…
Ok, I re-researched the issue, and found that I was incorrect about ownership of the physical cables. All the more reason we need good net neutrality legislation.
I think what's important for consumers to realize is that we (collectively) own the physical cables that cable companies utilize to bring their services into our homes. When cable companies act up like this, I think it may be time for consumers to give them a much needed wake up bitch-slap by starting the process of…
Your own argument is a counter-example to your thesis. Uniformity and evolution are mutually exclusive concepts, and that's why a uniform UI is a UI that doesn't get any better. Had Uniformity been the order of the day, windows wouldn't have been developed because its so dramatically different from DOS. In the same…
*sigh* I can never walk away from an Android/iOS debate without putting in my two cents worth.
Now this just begs the question: how DO you accurately screen a baby? Does it go through the metal detector/ scanner carried by a parent?
Yeah, I get a very similar workout every day on my commute to work. Of course, that's because I actually just RIDE A FUCKING BIKE; but I am sure that irony of the exact reason this article was written. And with all that money I saved on a ridiculous gym on wheels, I can afford other luxuries: like food and shelter.
Yes, I suppose if their suit actually specified a paranormal source for the disturbances they would have made things difficult for themselves. I don't know if any Judge in the world really want's to give a ruling that implicitly states that Ghost are real...
They wouldn't necessarily have to prove there were no other reasonable explanations. If the house had problems with vagrants or raccoons and the owner concealed that information from the tenants then they could make a case on those grounds instead. Of course, if that were the case they probably would have just said so…
Good article, but the bit about the girl without memory was ridiculous. If she really had NO memory not only would she not remember the pin prick, she wouldn't remember how to shake hands. Clearly, she just was only memory impaired.
Oh yeah, you can find little USB wifi dongles now for cheap.
