At least it hasn't jumped on the Recursive Acronym bandwagon and called itself the Internet Of IoT.

Well the article includes a car analogy...

But a better car analogy would be: "CatGenie can't run without SaniSolution, like a car can't run without Esso."

So if you want to use BP, Shell, or Total in your car - no can do.

It's the physicist clickbait equivalent of

"One strange, old trick helped me lose 165 LBs"

=

"Physicists Resurrect an Old, Strange Dark Matter Theory"

There is no option for 'I hate smartphones'.

While my friends boast about their new iphone7, I pull out my nokia 100 and tell them about the 30 day battery life while shining the built-in torch into their eyes.

Especially in the UK

If you think streaming 4k is bad, try looking at it from a post-production point of view.

Grading (colour-correcting) 4k on a Baselight system, in uncompressed 10-bit. That's 800 MB/s for 13 x 60 minute episodes. 37.4 TB, just for the actual footage used in the shows, let alone the rushes.

The post industry, already squeezed to the bone, is getting killed by this pointless obsession with pixel resolution.

The biggest inefficiency with a (short-route) bus is stop-starting a heavy vehicle laden with people.

We have electric and hybrid buses in London, but using a Flywheel (first developed as a fuel-saving measure for F1 cars) to preserve kinetic energy has made the greatest difference to efficiency for London buses.

As the late Murray Walker said...

Then we need to encourage the 'family ice bucket challenge'.

Meanwhile, back in thief-land....

The perp is regretting stealing the ipod, after he realises he'll need to buy a $70,000 prosthetic arm to go with it...

Ironically the Daily Mail, who are normally an ultra-right, police-supporting newspaper in the UK, have actually condemned the police's statement that merely viewing is an offence.

There would also be no public interest in prosecuting a someone for viewing if they didn't intend to promote IS. It would be absurd. So for the Met to say that viewing a video in and of itself could constitute an offence seems to me to be far from reality - Barrister Adam Wagner

My motto's always been 'always purchase a mobile phone that can be thrown, hard, at an annoying client's head and still function afterwards'.

In fact my current brick-like antique Nokia doesn't have a kill-switch, but it can certainly be used as one.

Nope. (almost) 40 years ago we had... Concorde!

That miracle of modern engineering took 3h 30min instead of the subsonic 7-8 hours it takes now. And why was Concorde retired? It just didn't make any money.

At the end of the day people want slow, cheap and unbearable to fast, stylish and extortionately expensive.

I think it said 'Beware of the Snow Leopard'
