The blur in the center is a sunbeam -- ignore that. The boxy shape on the top right is the Rosetta probe itself. Extending to the left is Rosetta's solar panel. Here's an artist's conception of Rosetta to give you a better idea of what you're seeing. The stuff around the bottom corners and very left side of the images are just reflections/lens artifacts.
Yeah, we're aware. Got caught on the holiday weekend, unfortunately, and it's taking a while for the provider to redeploy. Apologies for the inconvenience.
We don't censor any comments. I ran a quick search -- is this the comment you're referring to? Usually if you don't see a comment right away, it's because either the threshold settings are set to exclude it, or not all the comments on the page have loaded yet.
Every time I learn more about HFT, I become more convinced that it has to be regulated, and soon. They're only going to get more efficient at extracting money out of these markets without introducing any actual value, and that can't be sustainable in the long run.
Agreed -- it's easy to talk about all the ways this could go wrong, but there are some ways this could go right, too. There seems to be almost unbounded excitement from people who have worked with the Oculus Rift, and it's entirely possible the Zuckerberg and the rest of Facebook just want to give it a push. Unlike some of Facebook's other acquisitions, Oculus has a clear and obvious business model: selling devices. That makes me worry less about interference from a corporation that's beholden to stockholders (at least until growth stops).

Reply hazy, try again.
Fixed it. Thanks.
My bad. Fixed now. Conference calls are the devil.
Yup, well aware of all that!

You're right. I've updated the article to correct the tenses. Thanks.
Thanks. I've added these to the summary.
May 13th, 1998.
It's on the list, and something we'd like to do. No free engineering time to commit to it right now, unfortunately.
Just fixed this, thanks.
It sure did. Working on getting it fixed now. Apologies if it inconvenienced you!
Ahh, gotcha.
Yeah, I haven't seen an official transcript for that either. The YouTube page for the video has an automated transcript-maker, but it's pretty janky.
There's a link to expand a transcript right below the video. Is that not rendering for you?
I've updated to fix. Thanks.
Must have been super recently!

The word 'faster' was omitted. I've updated to fix.

Updated to fix. Thanks.

You're right -- I've updated the summary to reflect this.
Not at all -- I've updated the summary to include that.
