That was the article about the Switch bulbs if I remember correctly. I think the company went out of business. I have a couple of them and they work and look good, but are really heavy and I can't use them in certain applications that

The article also talks about a black hole accreting at a rate of 1% every million years that is 'currently' 20 billion solar masses. It is 12 billion ly away, which means, if it really does continue getting 1% larger every million

There are also no credible studies showing that chlorine gas is carcinogenic, so it must be safe!

Oh, man, if only the designs I got were this simplistic and only used standard controls with the standard look and feel. This is a very interesting start, but it's a long long way from being able to even represent in a simple layout
