Yes, but they are run as a separate unit. Amazon actually acquired them for their culture, not so much their business.

"That is Plato's Ultrabook."

Yeah, theres a keeper.

The Coriolis Effect is real, but in order for a toilet to exhibit it, it would have to be perfectly shaped and frictionless, so as not to allow other factors to influence the direction of the swirl.

Independent film making is risky if it has any kind of actual budget and investors who expect their money back. Even a small film like the one I'm involved in [www.americanharmonythemovie.com] hasn't recouped its $300k budget yet (although we will get some more visibility on Feb 12 when the Documentary Channel airs…

The Rule 34 version of this is one of those strange fetishes I just don't understand.

The Chennai Super Kings? Really? I still have flashbacks to the entirely too much time I spent in Chennai in '98-'99.

There's a chat feature on the iOS version of WWF, too.

You're a computer engineer and you don't wear shorts to work? Methinks you picked the wrong company to work for. I'm sitting here in shorts right now (at a Fortune 500, even).

I smell a conspiracy.

Negative. The pattern is full.

Look up the square-cube law for an explanation of why you can't have 50 foot tall ants. As to evolving on a world with higher gravity relative to earth, yes you would be able to withstand more Gs than a human (see the Starwolf book series for an example). However, propulsion is propulsion, and any theoretical alien…

Or you could go join the Barbershop Harmony Society [www.barbershop.org] and actually sing four part harmony (well, to be fair, *you* only sing one of the parts at a time, and you need at least three other people).

Not working on Safari, even though the error message says it's supposed to.

In this particular case, you probably don't. But even displaying from the device on stage to a big screen can go wrong, as it doesn't represent the common use case, and you never know if somebody's going to trip over a cable backstage and bring you down.

One of the reasons booth babes are used in some booths is that they can't say anything about the product that they weren't trained to say. You don't want engineers accidentally leaking non-public information. There are journalists out there who specifically try to get information like that at trade shows like this.…

It's possible to get high availability, dedicated bandwidth, wired Internet access at shows like this, but it will cost you tens of thousands of dollars minimum. Sometimes approaching $50k+, particularly if your redundant link is from an external provider and not running through the venue's equipment (if the venue…

The jawas want their sandcrawler back. Just sayin'...

This land is mine, god gave this land to me...

Having spent a number of years supporting demos for my company at big events, including CES, CTIA, MWC, investor relations events, etc, I think you underestimate the things that can go wrong in a demo environment (which would drive you to have a non-live Plan B, and perhaps a Plan C). Especially if the demo involves…
