His more earthly endeavors have included electric cars, home solar power
Okay, so far so good.
a transportation system called the Hyperloop
If we're allowed to count things we haven't actually yet done among our endeavours, I need to rewrite my CV.
a space based Internet
That... doesn't sound very earthly.
and, most recently, a battery that can power a house.
That's another thing that's only been announced.
That might be because there was no CG in the first season of TNG.
The crystalline entity was CGI.
Argghhh!! Show me KITTENS!!!!111!!
Orb brings fire to the sky!
(yes, I know who M.C. Escher is... I just prefer to imagine him as a rapper)
You and Seth MacFarlane.
If you really want to know, what happens in detail is this:
You load the page. You see the massive black box which fills the entire width of the parent element. You see the still image and a play button, and you think "oh, this story has video." You might then think "I'm not interested in the video - at least it's not autoplaying! I'll scroll down and look at some of the comments."
And then, some 7-10 seconds after the page appears to have completely loaded, the video - which, by the way, has no volume control - starts to play. Or, as in my experience, the audio plays and the video remains blank, making for an even more frustrating experience as you struggle to work out where the sound is coming from.

based in a pentagonal form
"Based on" would be better, but still wouldn't be right. Molecule shapes aren't really "based on" anything, they just look like things sometimes.
resembling an common pavement
"An/a" aside, what's a "common pavement"?
in the streets of Ccairo
That's the c-capital of Egypt, right?
That's a terrible joke. Goto your room!
When did facebook become a right?
I don't think anyone's saying it should be, are they?
So, unless you roll
"People who roll" are one of the key target demographics for these devices.
The two paramedics (neither of whom speak Swahili) fired up Google Translate to communicate via English-Swahili and successfully delivered baby girl "Brigid" (named after an Irish Saint no less!).
There's a bit of an unwritten implication in that use of the word "and," but I suspect the paramedics would probably have been able to deliver the baby without Google's help.
...is addons.mozilla.org, in case you were wondering.
And you know what, they even managed to fuck it up beyond that. I don't see any video, I only get audio. And it doesn't even have the grace to autoplay immediately, instead deciding to do so a few seconds after the page has loaded, once you've already scrolled down to see the comments, leaving you wondering where the sound is coming from.
Slashdot, please stop treating your audience like click-bait hungry idiots.
That is all.
