I guess it has nothing to do with the fact a lot of ebook cost more than the Hard Cover. That cannot be it.

It is the belief that science can solve their problems, or save their live.

Yes some people need training wheels. Others can drive a stick (or truck). I don't like the "Metro" interface but I laugh at people who cannot get it to work. The core changes to Windows 8 are great. Metro is the sour candy on top. Nelson.

If you cannot get windows 8 down in 30 seconds, you really should return it and buy a Apple product. That will be more your speed.

Armed Man Takes Hostages At Discovery Channel HQ 1090

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday September 01, 2010 @05:31PM from the man-vs-channel dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The manifesto of the man holding the Discovery Channel hostage with a bomb has been released. He has fired shots and taken hostages. His main complaints are about overpopulation, religion and civilization. He wants them to avoid encouraging people to produce more 'disgusting human babies,' to get people to accept 'Malthus-Darwin science,' reject civilization and its 'disgusting religious-cultural roots,' and to stop 'ALL immigration pollution.'" The man has now been shot by police, and the hostages have been freed.

Tiny ARM-Based Sensor System Makes Battery Replacement Obsolete 96

Posted by timothy on Friday February 12, 2010 @07:46PM from the transcend-batteries dept.

An anonymous reader writes "University of Michigan researchers have crammed an ARM Cortex microcontroller, a thin-film battery, and a solar cell into a package that is only 9 cubic millimeters in volume. The system is able to run perpetually by periodically recharging the on-board battery with a solar cell (neglecting physical wear-out of the system)."

Wikipedia Covers April Fool's Hoaxes 129

Posted by Zonk on Saturday April 01, 2006 @08:25PM from the check-out-what-you-missed dept.

vladd_rom writes "Wikipedia maintains an up to date list with April Fools hoaxes from this year. The list already includes hundreds of entries. Among the most popular, one could find Google Romance, a new Google.com project, Google Browser, as well as Yahoo!'s desire to buy all Web 2.0 companies on the web. However, it seems that this year hoaxes will be more interconnected: the wiki page already includes some websites that announced that they have been bought by Yahoo!, and linked to Yahoo!'s blog post from their pages."
