Capitalism. Venture capital firms are not seeking to solve problems, they're seeking a return on investment.

In the same amount of time that a few Teslas have screwed up, countless more humans (even by percentage of pilot-type of vehicle on the road) have lost their lives due to being ultimately poorer instruments at the task of driving. While the idea of dying in a crash that was a computer's fault is horrifying, it's simply much less likely than dying due to your own human error.

Autonomous cars are already far safer than non-autonomous cars and we're on what, year 2?

The story is that despite the announcement that the new generation of processors will be fully supported only by Win10, you'll still be able to use Win7 with them.

And the fact that it's just a promotion doesn't make this "$70/mo gigabit" like Google Fiber, this is $140/mo gigabit. They can start people at whatever price they want to get them in the door.

Orbiting Sun's nearest neighbor.. doesn't get much more nearby than that. Were you hoping it was hiding in our own goldilocks zone right next to Earth?

Oh, you're right. It's supposed to read "Wild! Abuse Allegations? 'Taint Indiegogo Helmet Maker, Skully!"

Text communications, regardless of platform, unless encrypted, are sent over the line in plain readable form by anyone to whom the traffic is visible (such as others on the network, the ISP or the NSA). This is basically for efficiency's sake, why add or change the data when you can just send it bitwise as-is? But it makes all standard communication over the internet insecure in this basic manner, which is why encryption is critical for any personal communication among free people. The real kicker is even a crummy ISIS programmer can almost certainly come up with some decently strong encryption without any backdoors, but legislators probably can't understand this.

Unless you count games like Downwell...

High-school dropout*

Now we know what Kennedy meant by "the other things."

Yeah, that doesn't have anything to do with this, and the article is literally directly below this one if you cared anyway. Why do they keep appending these end bits referencing other articles?

Works for Google.

This. Extrapolating movement and cranking up the framerate in certain parts of the scene while other parts run at lower framerates or move out of sync is a sensation that constantly reminds me I'm watching a video and breaks the experience altogether. Being immersed in a world where this is occurring would be maddening.

My God, why hasn't anyone thought of this before?!
