  1. Just ordered one... on Raspberry Pi Zero W is a $10 Computer With Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    ...well before the news appeared on Slashdot. It should be in my hands in a few days. I have been thinking about ordering a Raspberry PI zero since some time, but now that they just improved the hardware, I couldn't resist!

  2. It can be improved on Ask Slashdot: Would You Use A Cellphone With A Kill Code? · · Score: 4, Funny

    The most unsuspicious way would be to have the smartphone selfdestroy itself by shorting the battery or by executing code that overheats the CPU when the appropriate PIN code is entered. This is the reason why I always buy Samsung smartphones: nobody would blame me if "accidentally" it catches fire

  3. There are three methods to dilapidate a fortune. on Story Of a Founder Who Burned Through $21M While His Social App Fling Crashed (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    The first one is with women, and it is the most enjoyable.
    The second one is with gambling, and it is the fastest.
    The third one is with engineers, and it is the safest.

    It seems that mr. Nardone, to be 100% sure of the outcome, used all of them.

  4. Obligatory xkcd quote on Samsung Factory Fire Caused By Faulty Batteries (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Here, it seems designed right for this!

  5. The language is quite revealing: on Sony's Latest Smartphone Camera Sensor Can Shoot At 1,000fps (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    > Shoot At 1,000fps
    > this sensor blows every camera

    It seems that, to advertise the qualities of a smartphone, expressions related to firearms and ballistics are of common usage. So, if once in a while a smartphone explodes it should not be a surprise, after all.

  6. It has been discovered that candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon exists only as a hologram. No traces of his life on Earth have been discovered up to now, and he exists just under the form of a computer bot that once in a while interacts with real world through holograms. Further investigations are casting doubts about the reality of other politicians in the world: the lack of connections between politics and world problems is makes a strong evidence for the case. Is the world actually managed by an algorithm ? More at 11.00.

  7. I know what will happen one day. on Developer Argues For 'Forgotten Code Constructs' Like GOTO and Eval (techbeacon.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Somebody will publish a paper entitled: "Class statement considered harmful." and he will be applauded as the new IT guru!

  8. A clear example of bad design. on Barnes and Noble Recalls 147,000 NOOK Tablet 7 Power Adapters Due To Shock Risk (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Equipment designed to electrocute the owner should then self destroy by battery explosion, so that no evidence is left to investigators.

  9. Re:Makes sense on Tesla Drops 'Motors' From Name As CEO Musk Looks Beyond Cars (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    They probably have bigger plans. Since they dropped "Motors" from the company name, maybe that Elon Musk is actually going to start umbrella production...

  10. can he pay the fine with bitcoins ?!?

  11. Re:Again with that fake quote... on Bill Gates Warns Against Denying Climate Change (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Given TFA, the original quote should read: "640 degrees Kelvin of global warming is all you'll ever need".

  12. Re:Miles per second per megaparsec? on New, Higher Measurement of Universe's Expansion May Lead To a 'New Physics' (space.com) · · Score: 1

    It could be worst. What about furlong per fortnight per feet ?!?

  13. ...not to enter into the market of washing machines, thanks!

  14. Recall wouldn't cost a lot, after all! on Tesla Avoids Recall After Autopilot Crash Death (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Since each car has an auto-pilot, it is just a matter of sending a command, and the car will reach by itself the nearest Tesla service center...

  15. Re:Modern (pseudo)-"Science" on Neuroscience Can't Explain How a Microprocessor Works (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    > In order to understand the DNA of an Orange, we "scientists" dissected an alarm clock.

    In the case of the orange, this method isn't wrong...

  16. So now we will get again the market filled with exploding smartphones and washing machines...

  17. People at the customer service are bored... on Thousands of Note 7 Phones Still in Use On Verizon, All Non-911 Calls To Be Rerouted To Customer Service (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    ...because they get no call at all. 911 operators instead are raising complains: due to Verizon decision they are now very busy!

  18. Re:Raspberry Pi on Will The Death of the PC Bring 'An End To Openness'? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    A Mac ? Call me old fashioned (and it won't be the first time) but I'll take an Apple ][, thank you.

  19. Actually, Samsung plans are far more ambitious on Headphone Users Rejoice: Samsung Reportedly Not Killing the Galaxy S8's Headphone Jack (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Instead of simply killing the headphone jack, they plan to kill the whole smartphone, and maybe also the user and/or some bystanders. Their new Li-Ion battery can do this!

  20. I am worried on Corning Brings Gorilla Glass To The Automotive Industry (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    if smartphone-related industries bring their innovations into the automotive industry, we should be scared about what Samsung could do...

  21. Instead of giving us better TV displays... on Samsung Claims Its New QLED TVs Are Better Than OLED TVs (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    ...could you please give us better TV programs ?

  22. Problem solved! on Self-Driving Cars Will Make Organ Shortages Even Worse (slate.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Just implement a car self-driving mode that, following an organ shortage, starts driving the car very fast, so that plenty of organs for transplant are promptly collected. The only question remaining to solve is to decide if it is better to collect the organs needed from the passengers or from nearby pedestrians.

  23. What about this: on Microsoft Foresees AR Tracking Your Keys, Milk, Entire Life (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    wife: where have you been ?
    husband: I have been late at work.
    Alexa: Oh no, you had some beers at the pub, then you asked me where is the car key.


    Or worst:
    NSA agent: what is inside your iPhone ?
    visitor: just phone numbers and pics of my family.
    Alexa: Dave, you shouldn't say that...you evidently forgot about the secret map you encrypted into the pics. Remember ? You asked me the password yesterday...

  24. the Samsung Galaxy Notes 7 that exploded actually were owned by people thinking about switching to iPhone. If you have an Android device, it is better that you do not express your feelings about the operating system in front of you.

  25. > You can't get an egg shape (one end wider than the other) without coniuing to use thrust

    You can: technically an egg-shape orbit is an orbit that, after a few revolutions, brings the orbiting object against the Earth surface, so that it shatters against the ground just like a egg.
