Why eat popcorn? Popcorn is probably the worst thing to eat during a movie because you're just sitting down and having empty calories which just makes you FAT, like myself for instance.

Billy Med writes "The host of an over-the-top, late-night Fox network show has apologized for disrespecting the Canadian military with a recent segment on his intentionally inflammatory program.
"The March 17th episode of Red Eye included a segment discussing Canada's plan for a 'synchronized break,' which was in no way an attempt to make light of troop efforts," host Greg Gutfeld said in a statement issued Monday.
I think saying calling the US the most powerful country in the universe and Canada a country where we our mounties ride around on horses and do nothing is pretty offensive and ignorant."

Cool! But, wow, wouldn't it suck for him if some new technology came out and all he had was a small amount of memory in his fancy finger. I guess it could always be replaced, but it would be probably pretty expensive.

My favourite on screen calculator is by far my Ti83 Emulator. Very interesting, very fast. If you're in engineering or a higher level math it's a great solution when you can't afford a $120 calculator but you have a computer.

You probably can't blame ol' Billy or Stevie for this one. The refund was probably asked for by an accountant who made a mistake when giving out the severance package.

I'm pretty sure that a few other companies use netbook as a trademark. Ex. Asus. Thus voiding the lawsuit basically. At least according to a lawyer I know.

This makes me think of all the good medical advances that came straight out of Star Trek. Like the air needle thing where you just shoot it at someone's arm and the stuff goes in their arm through air pressure. Something similar to that is being developed to help prevent the spread of HIV. And I'm sure you have all seen something similar to this cell phone blood tester in every single sci-fi film.

I think Microsoft owes Mozilla another cake. This probably saved a lot of money and a few man hours for Microsoft. Or they can just let Mozilla bask in their humble glory.

An anonymous reader writes "Internet2 announced today that they completed their year-long network upgrade. The IP network and new DCN network are provisioned atop Level3-managed Infinera optical equipment. The optical network has an initial capacity of 100Gbps and can scale up to 400Gbps with minimal hardware augmentation. The engineers at the Indiana University Global Research NOC have been keeping the community updated with a blog to document the upgrade process. The announcement of the upgrade was originally covered in 2006 here and here."
