A Tesla Model S refuels from empty to 80% in 30 minutes from a Supercharger, and they rarely need one because the car is fully charged every morning. I am not very picky about where I charge, as long as the kids and I can stretch our legs a bit after six hours of driving. For a while I used to ask hotels before I booked if they had a power outlet available for my car, but I don't bother any more. They do. They only differ in how fast charge they can provide, but that's usually not an issue when the car is plugged in all night. There is plenty of public parking spaces with fast-ish chargers as well now, and shopping malls with outlets outside to attract customers with modern cars. Tesla owners probably spend less time at charging stations than fossil car owners spend at gas stations. Charging is something which happens when you are doing something else, like shopping. I know, you can shop at many gas stations as well, but not while filling the tank for free.

Not at all. Tesla Motors owns a large supercharger network that Tesla owners (the 85 kWh version) can use for free. If other car makers support charging from Tesla superchargers, the owners of other car models would have to pay for use. Subsidizing free power for Tesla owners. And I'm sure no Tesla owner would complain if there are more superchargers availble for them to use, even if they would have to pay to use the non-Tesla superchargers.

I'm going to set up an array of training wheels with generators outside my garage, and harvest free power to charge my Tesla S! Or a flashlight. A small one..

A possible use for this is propulsion in space with no fuel. Even ion thrusters need fuel, and eventually run out of Xenon gas. If you can create matter in this way, it would, at least in theory, be bossible to make an engine which use only electricity from solar panels to make electron/positron pairs, and acellerate those in the opposite direction of where you want to go. Enabling satellites to stay in low earth orbit forever, and geostationary satellites to stay in position until it is time to de-orbit. And it would actually be economically feasible to de-orbit them, it will just take a very long time.

I'm afraid those scientists are 155 years late with their findings. Humans have adapted to their environment as explained by Charles Darwin in 1859. We have adapted to live on Earth, not in space or on the bottom of the oceans. This should not come as a surprise to anyone in 2014. To overcome this we have to gradually start living higher up, and perhaps in just a few hundred thousdands years our decendants will take their first steps in the vacuum of space, breathing sunlight and radiation instead of air.

Or we could just adapt the envioronment in the space ship / space habitat. Probably a lot easier..

They tried, but used Bing instead of Google.

Because M$ reads your contents and delete your entire account if they find e.g. family pictures, manga, something which is copyrighted by anyone else, or anything which annoy Microsoft in any possible way. http://wmpoweruser.com/watch-w...

Or one.com and their Cloud Drive. We have One Drive, One Cloud, Cloud Drive and IBM's CloudOne. Drive One sell cars. Drive Cloud is free!

There should be a Drive before Drive 360. And let's not forget Drive 3.11, Drive 95 and Drive XP and ME, and then Drive 7 and 8, which all serve the same purpose. And Drive 2012 Enterprise to make the confusion complete.

At least Microsoft will keep an eye (+ hundreds of NSA's eyes) on what you store there, and delete your account if they don't like it. http://wmpoweruser.com/watch-w...

What if I want a smart watch but no phone? Putting the phone inside the watch isn't going to help. I value my privacy, and don't want to walk around with an effective radiolocation beacon.

Stephen Elop. No doubt. Their platform is burning!

Yellow reflective vest works even better at all times of day and year.

Hear, hear! Disney aren't making more Star Wars movies, they are making a Star Wars soap opera.

I'm willing to bet a large lump of bitcoins that the next human on the Moon will come from China. This may make Congress act if they are able to do anything but fight. Do you have a budget yet?
