Union Square, NYC. Arg! Where's the Image button?

No RAID 0. The data is separate. It just has some logic on board to sort out the frequently used, smaller stuff to put on the SSD portion. There's no data redundancy or striping. It's like having a small, really fast drive plus a chunky slower one, and a little daemon to sort your files for you.

And our iPhone camera will shoot 3D 8K video...still mostly of what everyone ate for breakfast, and drunk people at parties.

"This is exactly what's wrong with science education in democracies where God and state are supposed to be completely separate things..." And your suggestion is that God and state should be combined in some way? How does that play out exactly? The government dictates what religion and beliefs the citizens are allowed…

I don't know much about cars, but that looks like a lotta engine for that size car.

Nice. Speed ramps can be keyframed in AE for a nicer transition between frame rates.

Thunderbolt isn't the bottleneck in that stat, it's the low-RPM bus-powered HDD. The SSD versions of that drive scream over Thunderbolt. 380MB/s is a 300% improvement over the FW800 limit.

Look up EL Wire (electroluminescent). Might be something like that.

Agreed. I think you'd have to do a lot of careful lighting work to pull this off. The model is amazing, though.

That's why they tested it at 1,000 deg C for 2 hours. There are different types/temperatures of fire, but that's pretty good resistance to a normal building fire.

Solution in search of a problem. This will find an (actually useful) application some day.

It's not all about silicon. At a certain point, your glass makes all the difference.

Has anyone else noticed that a lot of earlier generation cell phones kind of exploded into pieces when they hit the ground: the battery flies out, the battery cover goes somewhere else, but without really breaking...you could pick up the pieces and snap everything back into place, no problem. I always wondered if that…

Redefines awesome.

Why is everyone going off about jewelry diamonds? Did you even read the article? This has nothing to do with that. This is an industrial commodity, like rare earth metals or helium, that is generally in short supply and extremely valuable for industrial use. It has very little relationship to those shiny things in…

Gold/silver standard still uses paper currency for transactions. Problem same. (Unless you're suggesting we all walk around with little sacks of gold dust that we apportion tiny bits from every time we want to buy something. That doesn't really strike me as solving a lot of problems.)

In many countries you can easily buy iPhone-ish devices. Friends I know will proudly show me their (remarkably reverse-engineered kinda-like-an-iPhone thing) and clarify, well, it's not a REAL iPhone. Between import taxes and exchange rates, Apple devices can be sky-high for a lot of everyday consumers in other…

This is all performance-capture stuff. Really? Nothing else? What about 8K capture and projection? I just watched Samsara (shot on 70mm film and projected 4K). It was gorgeous. I'd take that over 3D any day. Or placing arrays of cameras to capture a whole scene and then interpolating additional camera angles in post?…

Learn grammar, or get someone who knows it to proofread your posts. You're embarrassing yourself and our education system.

Isabella Rossellini makes a lovely sorceress.
