That can't be good for your eyes.
Blacker than the blackest black, times infinity.

Apple represents a freaking quarter of the US economy. One company. Making locked-down toy computers.
We're living in a sci-fi dystopia.
Yep that's why we buried Kimi Raikkonen in an urn last week.
OH WAIT
Nope, it just has to hit the ground at an angle, a piece bounces off of crash site 1 and lands somewhere else, creating "crash site 2." It even happens with cars sometimes (like today's Tesla crash story).
Yep you could die in an F1 car if you get thrown out (although it would take a very odd impact - if you don't wear your seatbelt in an F1 car, because of the shape of the cockpit and seat, in a frontal impact you'll become a gross puddle in the footwell).
Makes sense, the plane could have broken up on impact and the area where the tail landed was initially thought to be a second crash site. It was found to be part of the same plane, and the fact that the plane's ass landed some distance away is hardly newsworthy.
Actually I'm surprised at this. This is one of those few things that were worse than I expected, along with the NSA sabotaging NIST standards, treating all Linux users, cipherpunks and privacy advocates as extremists, and targeting human rights organizations.
80% of all calls in the US!? This is madness. This is computer-powered McCarthyism on crack.
I thought it was common knowledge, ask any admin of a network with 100ft+ lines running between buildings. The gear connected to them often fries when solar flares hit. Sometimes it happens so reliably that they have a procedure to disconnect the lines when a solar flare is coming.
It'll make great post-apocalyptic architecture.
This reminded me of the domes in Ergo Proxy.
Will this one be called "Mosque?"
That's pretty bad, although it's not that unusual for them to have terribly high standby draws like that. On the majority of them, there is a tangible difference in energy use though (as in you can touch them and feel the heat difference).
With computers it's better yet to use a phone or tablet instead of opening a laptop.
A big one is to turn your cable box off when you're not using it. Ever notice how bloody hot most of them get? It's because they're horrendous power guzzlers. People who aren't nerdy enough to program universal remotes properly just turn off the TV itself when walking away, leaving the cable box to run like a little electric space heater.
I'd drive a cheap-to-run car with torque like a supercharged V8 and my electricity would come from sources that put out their radioactive waste in neat chunks instead of slowly spreading it out the top of a smokestack!? This awful socialist future is going to ruin us all!!!
...unless you're good looking enough to make a career out of it.
They might take that as a challenge. North Carolina made global warming illegal after all.
