Jesus saith unto him, DeCapin, because thou hast seen the iPad, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. I believe that tablet computing, now led primarily by Apple, will ultimately replace the desktop pc and laptop. The key is increased computational power, and ubiquitous…

You were not alone, my friend. The cognitive dissonance generated by space-science conjoined with hill-billy parlance, blew-my-mind. Knittn' needles electro dynamic effect on water in zero G. Yee-haw!

Wow. I got something entirely different from this list than most of you. Make science great, accessible, and ubiquitous. Teach critical thinking skills, and put an emphasis on proof. When you are in a position to alter public opinion in a official capacity, actually learn about the scientific studies you site, be…

"You give me the awful impression, and I hate to have to say it, of someone who has never read any of the arguments against your position – EVER." We KNOW that planets and and life are real, observable phenomena. We can reasonably extrapolate probabilities from our data. The supernatural is an unknowable, untestable…

The only thing I have synced is photo stream, and it does work as expected. Everything else is synced to Gmail through the Microsoft exchange server, so I had no need to try those other services.

O.k, I followed the instructions to the letter, and the installation went flawlessly (and on the windows 8 developer preview, no less.) I have an iPhone 4 GSM model. I installed the 10.5 Beta of iTunes, as well as the iCloud control panel. I then shift-restored to the provided .ipsw file provided in the links for the…

Based on my experiences with Windows 8, I would tend to agree with this articles conclusions. That being said, I was able to overcome driver issues using windows compatibility mode. My touch-pad drivers, and graphics drivers would only install after running in compatibility mode. I have had the same problem with…

Nice ad hominem attack. It IS another stepping stone on Dawkins path to put religion in its proper context. Thank goodness someone is willing to stand up to superstitious nonsense. Every religious and mythical explanation for physical processes have inevitably been supplanted with scientific ones. The faithful make…

If you're hungry for a hunk of fat and juicy meat, eat my buddy Zhu Jianqiang here, because he's a treat.........Are you aching: yup yup yup. For some bacon: yup yup yup. He's a big pig: yup yup. You can be a big pig too ... OY

Stephen Fry said this of the Catholic church, and I believe it applies to most conservative Christians - "Do you know who would be the last person ever to be accepted as a prince of the church? The Galilean carpenter, that Jew. They would kick him out before he tried to cross the threshold. He would be so ill at ease…

System glitch, sorry.

Arg.

You! You fed LiveNLearn, the irony generating bastard son of a speak n' spell! A hex upon your house!

OK, so I've installed the 64bit Developer build on my Dell XPS M1330 Laptop. Installation was flawless. The only drivers not auto detected were the base Intel chip-set, and graphics driver. This definitely feels like it would be a beautiful OS for a touch device. It seems as though the desktop is meant to be…

Sounds like an interstellar metaphor for my mother-in-law at the casino with my father-in-law's MasterCard.

There is something about this video that simultaneously fascinates me, and engenders a strong sense of sadness. By adding a dimension to the past in this way, the relentless march of time feels remarkably tangible. These people had hopes and dreams, family dinners, stubbed toes. We are mere cosmological moments away…

I was going to do a whole Friday, Friday motif, but then I realized the potential inappropriate associations, considering Rebecca Blacks age. I'm not touching that one, considering the nature of the photo.

As soon as I realized I copied a 'do not copy' picture, I pasted it at the next site I encountered, in order to be rid of it. Phew! Copyright crises averted.

W-t-f. Perhaps in a sunny beach setting?

"My point is, that to last you have to be good already and have some creative animal in you. " Yes, I very much a agree with you. Learning the techniques, and mastering the equipment is important, but perhaps secondary to an innate sense of aestheticism, and creativity.
