They can't anchor it in Japan anyway, because a space elevator needs to be located on the equator.

The very top will be in a geosynchronous orbit, so it will remain in place. Any broken pieces of cable should burn up as they fall.

A Facebook poster earlier today accused her of having "no personality." Well, even if that's true, so what? It's a game show, not a talk show.

Terrorcons/Abominus were released in Legends (tiny) sizes for the Beast Hunters line. Seacons haven't gotten the same love, probably because, to be quite honest, they were the ugliest G1 toys I've ever seen. They'd need to be completely re-imagined from the ground up, whereas the Predacons and Dinobots just needed…

Two reasons: built-in HTML/CSS shortcuts like tag completion, and a really clever built-in FTP that automatically uploads or downloads dependent files. BBEdit comes close, and I'd probably use that…

If only there was some way to watch it more than once....

If you're jailbreaking an iPhone to make it use Google apps by default, you might as well just get an Android phone instead.

Congratulations on hacking into a Twitter account nobody with a brain was reading anyway.

It's not HARD to implement a JavaScript trick that will only load the GIFs that the user clicks on. It's just that Gizmodo doesn't want to bother.
