Most of the pictures are taken with a lot of light (flashlight?) coming out of the camera direction. This picture for example shows it very clear: http://astropedia.astrogeology.usgs.gov/alfresco/d/d/workspa... So there is light from the

You are right. Also take a look at the development of tablets. In the beginning they were small low-res tablets. But people wanted a bigger screen -> bigger tablets with high-res screens. But people hated to type on the screen -> ke

I don't think the feedback of the servos will detect a human body part. These servos are very very strong. Maybe when it hit the concrete it will skip a step noticeable in the feedback but that's about it.

Here some action: http://www.botndolly.com/media#/medium/15 I think it's very scary standing next to a moving robot that close. It doesn't stop when you get in the way. Hope someone is holding a emergency stop button.

Maybe a stupid question: but do you need iTunes to install an .ipa file? I've seen some programs that can just install these files on any iDevice without the use of iTunes. And isn't Xcode and an Apple acount enough to sign the app?

I can open a program in my quick-launch-bar with one click before you even typed the first letter of that program. Maybe it's not a design feature, but it gets in the way. (And yes: I'm using Windows 7 with the Windows Classic theme.)

Art is expression and communication. Some get touched by the message, some don't. If some people like to pay big bucks for art, just let them. Some might say Tracey Emin is a bad artist. But I think here message is very clear: pain from bei

This might also be a font-issue. Most of the time websites embed different font-types like eot, ttf, woff and svg. But some types lack font-hinting. It depends on the order in the CSS file which supported font browsers will use.

They also started looking at content above the fold and also monitor request time vs page loaded time for a while. I think it's great that Google is starting to monitor the user experience. It will keep people from building Javascript bloat

Also note that SVG logo's are rendered far better than a scaled down pixel version. I tried a lot of different reduction methods but the SVG version was always "sharper". Just include it in your image-tag: <img src="logo.svg" alt="my lo

I think this is very bad, security wise. Take this URL for example: www.paypaᥣ.com Ofcourse it depends on the font used and the characters chosen, but you can trick people into opening a site they trust. (for those who don't get it: the L o

There is nothing strange going on around the 20 second mark. The sun is very low and the wing is almost aligned to the position of the sun. You can also see the left tip is bended upwards, so the guy is clearly running around that tip. But

Ah, I totally missed that discussion. Thanks. IMHO he is flying. With a kite like that and a little running speed you could generate enough lift. But I'm not sure if the flapping helps.

Ranting about the Windows 8 Consumer Preview seems a bit unfair. It says "Consumer" and "Preview". Both words indicating it is not for the more advanced user. At work we always use Windows Server Edition as workstation OS. I must say that t

With polygonal mirrors you have to wait for the perfect moment to pulse the laser. I think these are just galvanometers. Seems like they have to 'predict' the motion of the mirrors for accuracy and speed.
