I find it most annoying when a computer is used in basically any TV show or movie. The actors always look to just be tapping on the keys at random, often hitting completely irrelevant keys to the task at hand. It doesn't ruin the scene for

She clearly explained why it was not do-able, and then he goes on to saying that it is. Hire those "wiz kids" I'm sure they can do it!

Even the name of the app points to its competition. If the sky is dark I am most likely to bring an umbrella. It is however beneficial if I know I need to walk somewhere in a given amount of time. Seeing when the sky will be dark but no rai

If you look at the the chart there is a large jump in the data. "Notes on the data: Only birth dates after 1910 can be accommodated and only countries with populations of more than 100,000 people are included. Where available, the UN's medi

One key aspect of statistics is randomly sampling, this poll has bias for sure. It is still interesting to see what HNers make with respect to where the live. It would also be interesting to see salary data compared to hours worked per week

I am with Teksavvy in Southern Ontario and just this morning it appears that Rogers finally got around to turning of the cable (from the last tenants) they also managed to turn off our Internet connection.

I'd like to see this data over a longer time period. Or compared to a similar time span around the Great Depression. Similarly, I'd like to see data on a global scale. I'd imagine the gap is continuously widening. Markets constantly shift,

I would hope that it applies to everyone or the law would be miss a portion of the illegal activity they are attempting to capture. Criminals will probably still operate in cash and those that are law-abiding now have to go through the hass

I know the school board where I live has banned teachers from using Facebook, and to further your point students under a certain age are not allowed to use either Facebook, or Google.

Why does it have to be a throwable ball? I'd imagine a much better picture if I had the camera on an extendable stick. Perhaps offering both options. I also wish the stitching was better, Microsoft's Photosynth app does an amazing job. An o

Yes, Watson had a major advantage at buzzing in but he was also capable of understanding or computing the questions. This is significant as the questions on Jeopardy aren't simply x + y = z but contain the complexities of the English langua

This is the exact sort of "tax loophole" that should be put to an end. I almost wish someone pushed back by proposing a raise in taxes for such behavior, and maybe next time these big companies would think twice before they tried to avoid p

It would be fun to use but I wonder about the practical uses, if I flew to work with it am I going to be able to bring anything with me, or am I going to look like I just walked through a tornado, and finally where do I put it when I do get

Regardless of Aiden's findings about solar energy his ability to see a pattern in tree branches and ten to attempt to answer the question why is impressive in my books.

Trees have been attempting to capture the suns energy for a long time and I'd like to see a comparison to other plants efficiency at capturing energy. Nature is powerful.

Those children that are allowed to play video games or watch t.v. on end in my opinion are those that are most likely to end up in a poorer situation because there is little parenting done.

As a student at the University of Waterloo taking the bus is standard. You are able to text the bus stop number to the bus company number and then it replies with when the next 3 (ish) buses are coming. I wish you were able to find out more

I like the new look. I've always liked a darker screen while watching a video especially for long periods of time. I also like the wide variety of sizes you can change the video screen too. I do however wish there was a fit to screen option
