One of the most abused tech words.

CGI 2063 will probably look exactly like real life. Your kids won't think it's special.

I don't understand anything about this case. Why does the author keep on mentioning that the perps either were or weren't McD's employees? Why does he keep on presenting his doctor's note to random people? Does McDs regularly screen their guests' electronics then? What are we supposed to think of the perps motives?

I've used an USB turntable to digitize many LPs and 78 RPM discs, without any pre-amp or anything like that, and believe me the audio quality is fine. When I play my digitized recordings with the same audio equipment that I use to play LPs straight (a good-quality 1980s home stereo system), there's no major…

Yeah, that logo dates back to the 1890s. It used to be shared as a logo by various companies in various countries. HMV had the rights to it in the UK and I think they still do now.

I agree that 'you have nothing to hide' is a flimsy argument, but at the same time I agree with thephatp. I don't see how its a breach of privacy to uncover things I would never care to hide in the first place like my meals and the dust at the bottom of my pockets.

No wonder the Chinese have difficulty drinking milk.

How on earth could they have expected a 1000$ a month service to have been successful?

Indeed. Believe it or not virtually all sound recordings are still protected by copyright, even the ones from the turn of the last century.

The technique actually isn't that extraordinary since phonograph recordings don't really have any relief. A phonograph is really just a sound wave carved into a disk, so if you have a picture of the sound wave its theoretically very simple to recreate the recording, though of course the actual process involved is more…

Ooh, Ive always wanted speakers that reproduce sound like a gramophone horn.

My top 25 are all old blues and jazz records from the early 1920s. Does that make me cutting edge or out of date?

Male pattern baldness has been around for millenia of natural selection so they very easily could have gone extinct during those years.

I don't understand what I'm seeing. What are those lines? Are they articles? Are they users? Are they discussions between users? What exactly is 'sentiment'? Is it an article's tone as analyzed by a computer? Is it a negative or positive opinion? What does 'change over time' mean? Is it changes in an article's POVs?…

Well, according to Microsoft, Win8 won't be so easily modified by third parties, so Norton and viruses might be less of an issue.

I was wondering about that too. That stand looks stable, unlike the iPad stands I've used. Maybe it actually does stay put on your lap.

Considering that WOW is 8 years old now it probably does work on surface.

I don't think stupidity has anything to do with this. People are sensitive to their environments and stores know how to take advantage of it. We're human, its okay.

The only true grammar is the grammar people actually use. The NPR nitpicker is wrong, whatever the word 'long-lived' or 'short-lived' actually means.

And the non-human best-friend is usually some serious 30-ish white male with a deep voice.
