The single most freaky looking "natural" thing I have ever laid eyes on, was seeing the placenta shortly after my first child's birth. I've never been much for believing in crazy conspiracies, but after that day I will always pay more credence to the idea that we are evolved from aliens. The placenta is THAT weird.

Need I remind you....? I support nekid olympics 100%

The "Deepstaria enigmatica" shown above has not yet been determined to in fact be that type of jellyfish. In fact, it's pretty clear from the video that this is not a jellyfish at all! The other hypothesis is that this is a whale placenta, which frankly kinda does make sense...except for the seemingly physical…

I remember in the 80's how we all used to lament the fact that we only used only a portion of the cattle carcass when processing our meat, compared to the Native Americans who would use something like 95% of a buffalo carcass. Now that we're closer to that 95%, suddenly we're using too much? I guess the Native…

Funny you say that when their biggest growth was from China....

"hot cup of root beer to go with my Froast", you sir just made my day.

From the article you linked: "Here's the important part, though: Steve Jobs wasn't right about everything. He had his fair share of mistakes, including hiring John Sculley to run Apple in the '80s, leading to his ouster. He was originally against third-party apps on the iPhone, and opening it up was one of the…

Amazing! And from a 36 YEAR OLD technology company to boot!

We've been recording weather details for far longer than that (there are weather related records going back thousands of years that detail floods, draughts, etc.), however we've only been ACCURATELY recording weather details (patterns) since the rise of satellite observations - say just a few decades at best.

You can resell/donate any Apple product back to Apple itself and they will recycle it for you, finding a recycler is not an issue. Plus, you can't derive the recycle-ability from iFixIt's teardown, as they are trying to rip it apart and rebuild it with the thing still working in the end (hence, i Fixed It). Recycling…

Apple leads the pack by far on recycle-ability of their products. They have a near-70% worldwide recycling program. These guys are way ahead of the curve on this front:

You've done your math wrong. Multiply the price by the number of shares outstanding (about 932 million). You get about $560Bn at today's price.

Gorilla glass was developed in the 1960's...they just couldn't find a good use for it back then. Apple could not have been using this product since it was invented, as Apple didn't exist at the time.

I posted this response in a thread below, but it's worth highlighting. This is a major improvement from the original iPad, happening in just two short years. If you can't recognize this amazing evolution (just as you recognize the incredible evolution of the iMac), you are jaded:

I am specifically comparing the original iPad to the "new" iPad. We're talking a major evolution:

But then they brought up the example of the iMacs, and showed models that were 14 years apart in development. They said this is not much of an "evolution", but it clearly is. Jesus even said his iPad 1 is good for his purposes (I don't doubt it is). But if you are "disappointed" by this device, it is because you are…

Sorry, but you guys are jaded. I can clear things up with a simple question: If this iPad is not much of an "evolution", how come no one is recommending buying a used/refurbished iPad 1 for a steep discount? I'm an iPad 1 owner, and I see this as a huge leap forward from that device. What hasn't been upgraded? Screen,…

Here's a better pic of their size...

...and this one helps get an idea of the size.

Here's a pic from the teardown...
