The definition of "Universe" from Marriam-Webster: " all of space and everything in it".

And the definition of "Universe", from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real "wow, that's big," time. Infinity is just so big that, by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here.

How appropriate. You fight like a dairy farmer.

There's a problem with that photo: we can see the Earth. This means that Samantha is dreaming and all of this isn't real.

Yes I know, it's "fake", not done in real-time. But it's still an impressive image sequence compression playback that was done on computers 22 years ago*.

* That was more than two decades ago? Holy shit, I'm old. And get off my lawn!

Apart from the gold model, the Apple Watch isn't any more overpriced than the high-end versions of Samsung smart watches.

With that said, we're still amazingly primitive to think that smart watches are a pretty neat idea.

Any vote given to a candidate technically goes to the party, and the party's summed-up vote count tells how many seats they get, which are then filled by the candidates by the order of most votes received.

That's the most sane thing I've ever heard in my life. Are you sure this is politics?

In Canada we use paper ballots and we know the outcome of an election in less than 24 hours.

What the fuck are you U.S.A.sians doing?

To drive the point home, Dutta, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the University of Michigan, emails me a photo of 50 of these computers. They barely fill a thimble halfway to its brim.

And just to annoy everyone reading my article, I didn't even bother to include that particular photo in it.

If the heat gets to 90 degrees then you have a much bigger problem on your hands, water is close to the boiling point.

Oh wait, I bet you're one of those people using the idiotic system.

If you use a Segway to do a 10km morning walk then you're not really walking.

If you are a "Segway train" group leader, make sure to call out to pedestrians "watch out to your left, passing by" while barely missing them, instead of riding in a more appropriate place.

That's why I use the all-terrain, off-road model of Segway while in I'm in cities. The powerful motors and oversized wheels makes it easy to just roll over all obstacles.

Maybe it wasn't an accident. Maybe the Segway itself committed suicide and the death of the guy was simply collateral damage.

And that's why I think VR's future is hard to imagine in 2015. The current technology is only beginning to achieve decent capabilities.

So what you're saying is that there was shrinkage?

But smartphone or advanced PDA, the question remains the same. When most people think about "VR" they think about displays in front of their eyes, blocking their outside view. Closed-view is fine to give us a stereoscopic view of what we think of as "videogames" right now but future VR isn't going to look like today's 3D-rendered-on-a-2D-display systems.

I think Microsoft is on the right path for VR, with their augmented reality demo.
