No reflection of the sun on the water. No sunset effect

Seems like a jump to me. Couldn't the baboons just be comparing volumes, with one cup having a larger volume of food than the other. That's a much simpler comparison and would explain the high variability when the numbers are lower. Most animals can gauge size, this just seems like the baboons are gauging the size…

I was under the impression that 3D was mainly a signifier of a more capable display and that even without using the 3D capabilities the 2D performance tended to be better than standard 2D displays under the same brand.

HK has declined steeply as a brand. They have looks and a commensurate price tag, but they cut corners on internals, for example using budget room correction, less capable amps, etc. Denon/Marantz, Onkyo and Yamaha are all competitive with each other and are much better choices.

They're all gods. The better way to look at who is and isn't a titan is to consider the term as a political classification. The titans were the old guard and followed Cronus. Zeus and his siblings are the new guard and effectively displaced the titans.

Not really. Some titans may have been depicted as huge but others, (Epimetheus for example) were not.

Get a nylon filter and increase the fineness of the grind and you can save a little time.

My six year old has had an iPod Touch since she was four. Its been taken away on several occasions due to her wanting to play games too much and she's gotten better in terms of playing only for a little while and moving onto something else without complaining. I don't think any of her friends have smartphones yet…

Had the same thought. My kid's love of Dora and other Nick Jr shows fell of pretty fast once kindergarten started. She'll still go back to it from time to time but they are clearly in the baby shows pile which she'd never own up to watching in front of other kids. Peer pressure kicks in fast.

Never heard of this and glad I managed to avoid it so far. Outside of vacations, everything my kid watches has come off the DVR or DVD. Four or five shows max existed until she turned 4 and then she got hooked on Adventure Time and those shows were slowly deleted.

An ice cold can of Coke is my go to if I'm stuck at work. The base of the can is just the right shape so that it works as an impromptu cold pack on my eye. White Flower oil also helps, menthol, camphor and wintergreen, its powerful.

I get migraines but they tend to roll in slow or just stay as background headaches until enough triggers cause a full onset. There are a bunch of steps I take to avoid the headaches and keep migraines from happening. The first one is to stay hydrated and drink lots of water if symptoms start to kick in. Daily…

The controllers already exist they just haven't been enabled yet. The next gen AppleTV will play games using iOS devices as controllers.

There is no real problem. There are many problems. One of them is that the mentally ill fall through the cracks of the healthcare system, especially when they are young. Another is that there are very few barriers to access to firearms capable of killing many people very quickly. Neither of these problems are…

I have the Xoom, Nexus 10 and LTE Galaxy Nexus. With the Xoom, the dev community patched up many bugs and offered new features (like SD card support) well before the official updates were released and stayed well ahead in terms of performance. With the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, its also a nobrainer, the official updates…

Why not run both? I prefer the XBMC interface on my TV and have been pretty happy with how it runs on my tablet over WLAN. I run Plex mainly to have access away from home.

From an engineering standpoint its always seemed to me that a technological singularity was a couple of orders of magnitude farther away from what our current level of progress seemed capable of. Simply put, we just don't have the resources available to achieve a singularity. An appropriate cosmological metaphor…

I got introduced to the series in college almost twenty years ago. I got through seven or eight books before giving up. No way I would continue reading the series now that its finally done although if I'm desperate for reading material I might get the last book and catch up to the rest on summaries.

There's a difference between doing some running and making running a key aspect though. A QB who can use his speed to buy receivers an extra couple seconds to get open is going to have a longer more productive career than a guy who's doing double duty as a running back and if they learn throw well on the run, just as…

Magary's point was that it comes down to training. Quarterbacks that are encouraged to use their mobility to run will get hit and aren't as likely to last the season. Quarterbacks that are encouraged to user their mobility to buy time to make pass plays will have longevity and eventually become deep threats that can…
