More than 84. My small local ISP offers it and they aren't on the list.

Outside of a conversational AI, I don't want my software to work differently depending on what mood it thinks I'm in. For every app that would actually benefit from this I foresee a hundred 'Clippy's.

'You seem frustrated! Let's start a tutorial of my basic features...'
'Hey—did you know you're angry? Here's some cute kittens that are sure to cheer you up!'
'I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over...'

Keep in mind seaweed is mostly water and weighs virtually nothing when dried; a pound of it would probably fill a large carry-on bag.

Rehydrated and possibly mixed with a filler for texture, dulse would be competitive with other meat alternative products.

I see they're trying to encourage DIY by leaving the space bar as an exercise for the buyer.

I'm fairly certain contingent work existed before Uber.

Why do we need to reinvent this, unless we're simply looking for a new way to reclassify full time employees as contractors?

For once he was cleverer than we give him credit for:

It's happy! It's fun!

I'm hoping it opens with a young Elon watching as his parents are brutally hunted for their scent glands.

Like a certain web site.

And battery capacity just doubled last week! It's amazing that they can keep releasing breakthrough after breakthrough!

Yes. This will definitely end in zombies.

...and the obligatory Onion

Unless you're sleeping in a dormitory they don't need directionality; the phone can assume any fluctuation (doppler/impluse response/etc) comes from your movement.

The phone's tiny speaker and mic can probably reach 20-24khz, which is *barely* ultrasonic but outside most human hearing. Your pets may no longer want to sleep with you, however.

I'll be interested when the resolution is good enough for productivity apps—Photoshop, IDEs/editors, etc. A virtual room full of monitors for the price/energy/materials of a couple smartphone displays and lenses...

Geekbench's own numbers put the iPad Air at 4528, only 10% off the i5. Which is astounding, because five years ago Intel's ULV CPUs were hitting 2000-2500 on the same benchmark while Apple's new A4 was 200.

The flagship ARM CPUs cost a tenth as much as Intel's chips, consume a fraction of the power, and have been roughly doubling performance every year while Intel has virtually plateaued*. If that trend continues, by the end of this year they'll have surpassed Intel on virtually every metric.

Of course, AMD reached pole position a decade ago until Intel's Core 2 decisively took back the lead. Intel may repeat history with Skylake; if not, the computer world could get a lot more interesting over the next few years.

(*on clock speed and IPC they're been scarcely improving 10% a year; IPW is increasing somewhat faster but still well behind ARM designs)
