It already has another name that is commonly used: "Internet Exploder" Why don't they just use that already? They really are bit behind the herd, aren't they?

Passwords would be fine, if we were allowed to use easily remembered pass phases. Instead we're still often forced to use short passwords (8-12 characters) that consist of upper case + lower case + digit + non-alphanumeric characters. Even though it's pretty well established that pass phrases are, overall, a better way.

Cars that ride the bus, and the bus doubles as a train?!? Transport really is getting complicated nowadays.

If I'm not mistaken, the enemy agent was probably a dog.

It's remnants of the Red Weed from when the martians attacked.

I dunno. There may be changing trends, so what you suggest might train it to be accurate for a bygone era.

Shield surfing wouldn't make sense in games based on The Hobbit, unless first seen in the movie. For example, I now expect shield surfing to be in the Lego Hobbit game.

How about that? Breaking the same record on two worlds simultaneously. Now that's what I call "breaking two world records".

(Never mind that one of them is a actually moon. Close enough.)

I have an AR Drone 2, and the standard battery lasts for maximum 12 minutes (1000 mAh). I've ordered a new battery that holds 1500 mAh. Looking forward to see if it lasts for 18 minutes.

How much damage can one do with that? Seems easier to sneak up close and hide in a bush while cracking in to someones network using a laptop.

Ah, that explains how Doctor Octopus can control his mechanical arms. Perhaps that can give Spider-Man an added advantage.

On a more serious note: I'm impressed they can control the extra fingers so naturally. I didn't think it'd be possible without interfacing directly with the nervous system.

I remember hearing exactly the same thing back in the 80's.

Cash will be around for a long time yet, because in some ways it's still preferable. Different tools for different things.

Just sayin'.

On my screen, the sample pictures they show in the article look just as pixellated as any other picture.

Agreed, plus spreadsheets and some web pages are best viewed in landscape mode.

It looks like the Blackberry habit of using hard keyboards has stymied their designers. Perhaps Blackberry could learn from the good old dopod.

Well, yes, but ...

Sure, I visualise how algorithms work, otherwise I can't code them. But the difference in maze generators struck me. Because, as quoted, they're difficult to distinguish from each other.

Other things, such as sorting algorithms, are fairly obvious though... but still nice to see, again.
