Extraordinarily well done. Brava my dear Irish, Welsh, English, South African lady.

I read the comments and am reminded how different people see different things. All that said, I EFFING LOVE 007! Maybe it's because I was raised on him, maybe it's because I'm Canadian and therefore perhaps have an fondness for anything stylishly British, but a shit movie with Commander Bond always seems to rank…

Going to New Scientist to read this article, the site insists I register. Okay, okay, fair enough, it's your creative material and you want to know who I am: Fair ball. …You want a password?! An alphanumeric password that is at least eight characters long?!? What the hell for? Am I giving you banking information? Why…

People balk at the price, the irony is you won't "lose" any money if you bought this watch. A fellow I know wanted to buy a watch. He was looking at really nice watches that cost about $3000-$6000 and I asked, do you want to buy a watch or invest in one—assuming the money doesn't matter. He took the bait and steered…

I'd like to see a study that has the above six-cups a day as control versus green tea drinkers. And is it black coffee? I imagine if you start drinking Tim Horton's (or Dunkin's for you Yankees) triple-triples every day you're not going to get the same results. Six cups, though, wow. At that point, you don't even…

No attempt to straw man was made, your statement lacked clarity which was compounded by my (logical however inaccurate) assumption that you were disquieted by all forms of animal protein ingestion. All that said, my comment remains topical.

The best of my knowledge, the healthiest diets on the planet, from the Okinawa diet to the red wine diets to the Sardinians all eat some form of meat protein. There is no evidence, whatsoever that vegetarians or vegans are healthier or live longer, in fact it could be the contrary.

How does entanglement relate to this? Isn't the information (spin) of one particle travelling to its entangled partner instantaneously — and hence faster than light?

Agreed. They needed such a "pivot".

E-readers are not perfect, but what they do do is excellent. I like my iPad. I love my MacBook Air. I can't live without my iPhone being a few feet away from me. But when it comes to actually sitting and reading, I would never give my ereader (Kindle). I made it through over a month in Nepal and a few weeks at Mt.…

Like the capital markets, lotteries are more about behavioral finance than probability mathematics.

+1 sir.

So that's what happens when you're part of the many last ones into a massive pyramid structure.

I regularly find it amusing when people invoke the hope of karmic retribution against a perpetrator who's wronged someone. Basic karmic law would assert that the person who was wronged deserved it due to their own karmic debt in the first place.

That was fun. Though is it fair to have an issue with the use of the word evolution. Doesn't evolution imply going from a simple to a more complex form, such as language or life. The moon, once it cooled didn't really change or increase in complexity, it just got — ahem — pounded.

Why trolls like to troll for other trolls to get into a back-and-forth troll debate that invariably solves nothing is facking beyond me. Read the facking article. Move the fack on. None of you are changing anyone else's mind and good hypothesis is the only reason you engage in these mind numbing mud-slingings is for…

With mirroring, why would I want a Thunderbolt display? Wouldn't I just mirror what I'm doing onto a AppleTV equipped plasma?

Different strokes for different folks, I know. As for me, I really like the size of the iPhone's screen. But maybe more importantly, it's a Goldilocks sized case. I'd take a bigger screen if it didn't mean a bigger shell. And I'd actually prefer just a slightly more slender case at that. My friend just killed his iP4…

How, if at all, does this relate to those experiments with neutrinos travelling faster than light speed?

You are so right on about Einstein's probable shock and disgust at the frothy illogicality of quantum mechanics. In fact I think that is well-documented that he had grievous issue with QM's implications. And hey, for the record, thanks for the sporting debate.
