  9. Re:Hot Jupiter? on NASA's Hubble Captures Blistering Pitch-Black Planet (scienmag.com) · · Score: 1

    It’s the wild colour scheme that freaks me out, every time you try and operate these weird black controls that are labeled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up in black to let you know you’ve done it.

  16. Get off my lawn! on The Father of Mobile Computing Is Not Impressed (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 2
