Bury it all you want, i have sympathy for the evicted, not this sleazy redditor. Posts like these are the reason i removed 'reddit.com' from my reddits.

Yours is even less so. Like the parent, i found the story uninteresting. If anyone with a sad job got to the frontpage, goodbye IT news. In the end, if the guy thinks his job is sad, quit it, or campaign against evictions. Pretending to be

TBH, i would like to see all the like/+1/tweet/digg buttons gone, they are a big privacy hazard. This functionality should be included in the browser or available from extensions.

The article did not hide any of these facts though, so it's not "utter nonsense". The title of the original article is "A Higgs Setback: Did Stephen Hawking Just Win the Most Outrageous Bet in Physics History?", nothing like "RIP Higgs". Th

The article isn't just about spotify, but anyway, bandwidth usage is a concern now, but certainly as bandwidth goes up there will be more and more services taking advantage of P2P for faster and better service. It's not necessarily a bad th

Actually the difference is not that big. It's all in our brain anyway, and most virtual experiences evoke similar brain responses as real ones (theater, TV, cinema, mirror neurons etc). What virtual items lose is fine properties like touch,

The processor would be no different to program than what we know, they haven't invented a new computational paradigm, it's still turing machines. Just to illustrate your point about the intricacies of simulating synapses realistically, and

This is no more cognitive than any artificial neural network we have until now. The only innovation is lower power consumption. So, it's just a power-friendly artificial neural network simulator. I would really like to see details about the

I thought Google+ was more like twitter. It seems Google+ envies facebook's "intimate friend groups" that cause people to upload personal photos and events. Alas they don't realize that people are under "social fatigue" right now after five

You are actually right, this ancient technology is doomed to be superceded soon by OCR, but it's a fun thing for the moment. It's a fad, it's gonna make its circle. If there's advantage to their use it's the ability to be included, accident

Greece did not bail out any banks, it was the government that was lending recklessly, not the private sector. There are many people who claim greece should not pay back its debt but there is no moral or legal ground to that. There are only

Bloomberg west is already 40 minutes over time discussing Jobs' departure. Given the current market position of Apple, this comes at a bad time for the US economy in general i guess.

I agree. Their platform changes more often than their underwear. A wiki would be very helpful. I hate to search for a problem and find 10 different solutions all of which have been deprecated. Curiously, even in the old documentation wiki d

I wonder how Apple feels about web apps after the success that they 've seen with the app store. I mean, they have in the past banned phonegap apps, but only the grounds of their developer terms. For one, i ditched the kindle app ever since
