  1. Just buy an iPhone, it needs no manuals, even 80year olds can use them.

  2. "Tech support in India is just going to love this."

    The Vegans and Peta will love it as well.

  3. We do what we can, but between all the Facebook updates, Twitter, email, Pinterest, Instagram, Reddit, Tumblr etc we have to watch where we're going or we'll get run over by a truck.

  4. "To get the free coffee, university students must give away their names, phone numbers, email addresses and majors, or in Brown's lingo, concentrations. "

    Concentrations? Well, instead of Café, they should have named it 'Camp' and perhaps offer a free id tattoo?

    But now since we have Godwin out of the way, does that mean they have their data for life and the students get coffee for life?

  5. It sounds like the FBI's cold case unit filing another 15 year old success.

    When reading the article (yes I know) title should be more like:

    Criminal successfully evades FBI during a 15 year long crime spree.

  6. Dear sexual predators, rapists, pedos et. al. Please don't use your stupid face or your fingerprint to lock your evidence phone. Use a looooong password.
    Otherwise we'll get these stupid articles every other day.

  7. "Apparently you're not allowed to use any "electronic device" while on a bike. Wording it like that is said to "future-proof" the law."

    I have an electronic shifter and a wireless control unit.
    The law sucks.

  8. Re:How soon before we see them in Mr. Musk's on Scientists Formulate New Method To Create Low-Cost High Efficiency Solar Cells (phys.org) · · Score: 2

    "This new technology alongside the Tesla Powerbank and the Tesla car in my basement are sure to disrupt and revolutionize transportation industry."

    You're doing it wrong.
    The powerbank belongs in the basement, the car in the garage.
    But good news, you're right, the solar singles go on the roof.

  9. That's the problem, right there on Scientists Accidentally Blow Up Their Lab With Strongest Indoor Magnetic Field Ever (vice.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    "the magnetic fields were generated using a technique called electromagnetic flux-compression. "

    They didn't have a flux-compensator.

  10. Shortsellers are not investors on SEC Charges Elon Musk With Fraud Over His Statements To Take Tesla Private (bloomberg.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    And ergo don't deserve any protection.

  11. Glass plane on Alaska Airlines Trials Virtual Reality On Some Flights (pcmag.com) · · Score: 1

    Just make the plane transparent and remove the other passengers and seats.
    Would be hell for people with fear of heights but anything better than watching or hearing people or kids.

  12. Only a few years ago, thousands of surgeons, who were paid vast sums of money to laser or cut out ulcers, who actually weren't caused by stress but just an infection with Helicobacter pylori, curable with a few antibiotic pills and now again, another surgeon's bread an butter operation is hit.

    I wonder what's next.

  13. Can't bee true on Roundup Weed Killer Could Be Linked To Widespread Bee Deaths, Study Finds (npr.org) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Could it bee?

  14. Re:The brain manipulates the body on Gut-Brain Connection Could Lead To a 'New Sense' (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    "Or the manipulation of appetite by the gut?"

    Not only that. If you shit your pants, this 'circuit' immediately tells your brain.

  15. "to hack into the WiFi network of a Fragrance Hotel branch"

    If you tell it like that.

  16. Re:Why are they allowed to do this? on Over 1,100 New Arcade Games Added To the Internet Archive (archive.org) · · Score: 1

    "In a time where many rom sites have been shut down why is archive.org exempted from this?"

    I guess because libraries get a few free mandatory copies of every book published as well.

  17. Not for long on Alcohol Causes One In 20 Deaths Worldwide, Says WHO (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Now that pot is available legally one way or another in almost every state, this will go down fast.

  18. Apple is a friend without benefits.

  19. So which one of my 15 Google ids does it use?

  20. Re:I call bullshit on Germany Launches World's First Autonomous Tram (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    "Also many of these other sources are rather closed track systems, not dealing with multiple I/O, complex weather and track conditions"

    OTOH, they don't need complex map software, no steering necessary, no doubling and in all the countries with trams, they always have the absolute priority of way, because due to their iron on iron wheels abrupt stopping is impossible. They also don't care about snow or ice on the tracks.
    What multiple inputs? They just have to watch in front of them and the only decision the computer has to do is GO or NO GO.

  21. Meemaw and peepaw are on Facebook, mom is on Pinterest, the kids are on Instagram and great-granddad is on Myspace and his girfriend on 2.Life.

  22. I thought we were living in the 'giant SUVs' time.

  23. It was easy 70 years ago because there was always a 'Heil Hitler' at the end of each message, so it must be much easier today.

  24. Like always: The butler^h^h^h^h^h janitor did it.

    1. Almost every janitor has a key.

    2. Almost everybody else too, it's a fucking observatory! People come and go 24/7.

    3. Computers are perfectly capable of downloading stuff even when nobody's on site.

    4. It's completely overkill and overreach to close down a professional site just because somebody might have downloaded some nekkid pictures.

    5. "the facility's chief observer said he had found, on a number of occasions, the same laptop "

    On a number of occasions? How many times, 10, 20, 1582? How many times have you to find child porn before calling the cops?

    So all the previous times he just enjoyed the porn until there was something that disturbed him?

    Sorry, does not compute.

  25. Normal on Apple's New Strategy: Sell Pricier iPhones First (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Etruscans and Romans also sold their expensive apples first, thousands of years ago.
