This is about FORD using aluminum, not automobiles in general.

OK, it's Friday and I got karma to burn.

Is buying games this way any cheaper than retail?

If not, where's the incentive to help this charity?

Sorry if capitalism is out of style these days, but that's what keeps the world going and the bills paid.

One day everyone's complaining notebook screens aren't keeping up with hi res of modern tablets and smartphones.

Now you're bitching that 4K is too much for an utrabook.

Which is it, damnit?????

First it was video games that improved hand-eye coordination. Now, web surfing improves motor skills.

I think I see the pattern, and I can even automate my next submission headline:

$FAVORITE_USELESS_HOBBY improves $ZOMFG_GREAT_USEFUL_SKILL

Well, it's not like Consumer Reports can just go out and buy one of these self driving cars to test them out yet.

This is all very early research and we have to take their word for it for the time being.

Once they become commercially available, I definitely expect to see vastly different real-world performance of theses systems.

This is nothing but a PR stunt by these firms to save face, since they all happily collaborated with NSA's dirty practices in exchange of dough and political favors.

I say fuck 'em all!!

SSDs are all the rage now!!!!!! Who uses harddrives anymore???

To develop the apps that run on smartphones, tablets, smart watches, HMDs, etc.

Desktop gaming beats mobile gaming and console gaming every day of the week.

Oh yeah, and what tabet are you going to use to download those 10 seasons in 1080p of your favorite TV series.

Yes, those use cases are incredily niche uses by today's standards, but they'll keep desktops alive for the foreseeable future.

Fun fact: some Porsches are, as you describe, "technically 4 seaters" just to be rated as such by insurance companies, and thus, the owners pay a lower premium.

Aha! So Microsoft will eventually release a separate version of Windows 8 for desktop without Metro but full of bloat to slow down "obsolete" PCs and get the upgrade treadmill going again.

Be careful what you wish for...

Wikipedia didn't post that picture because PETA would have a field day over it.

Groupon is worth US$6.86 billion right now. In hindsight, turning Google's offer down was a wise move.

But please don't let facts get in the way of your anti-capitalist parade.

When you're offered an obscene amount of money for your property, you don't just blurt out a Yes or No. You consult with lawyers, accountants, CFAs/CFPs, etc. before making a decision.

Thankfully, the first few digits of my credit card are the same as a rather important USPTO patent #, so all Google results link to that.

In addition to that, it's no wonder they're going under (hey, it rhymed). Box offers NOTHING that Dropbox or Google Drive already do, and do it better.

Box is a cloud storage solution, like Dropbox or Google Drive.

I had never heard of them until Root File Manager (Android file manager) asked me to connect to it.
