Note to self: RTFA! I guess he does ride it on the street. In which case I must say that he's a moron.

You guys don't get it. This is a show bike, and as such it is not meant to be ridden. If this bike is even street legal, which I doubt, the most it will ever be ridden is from a truck to a showroom floor.

Actually, it would take 2000000 Ghz for it to begin to become dangerous (ionizing), a frequency well within the UV spectrum. These studies are intended for those that are completely ignorant of science, which happens to be most people, and aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

IBM is one of world's largest R&D conglomerates. They are involved in everything from software to nanotechnology. I believe they hold more patents that any other company in the U.S. I'm sure IBM's value will only increase as time goes on.

It's enough to look at the student body of this nation's science graduate programs outside of the top 5. Were it not for international students (primarily Chinese), most programs would long ago have had to shut their doors due to almost nonexistent enrollment. Sadly, America's position as a...

Of course it's going to be more stable when the functionality of the iOS operating system is limited to the most rudimentary level. Heck, it still lacks multitasking. Why has Apple resisted adding true multitasking capability to the iPhone or the iPad, which is marketed as a notebook...

The sales figures and media coverage is what makes people presume that iPad is superior to other tablets without really looking at the specs or the capabilities of Android. On paper and in reality iPad lags behind each of these tablets in the comparison table, no matter how you spin it. Brand...

I don't know which part of New York City you are referring to, but most of Bronx and large parts of Brooklyn and Queens are warzones. They've cleaned up Manhattan, but that's pretty much it.

The concept is not novel. This is just a method of hydrogen storage. It still requires an impractical amount of energy to produce the hydrogen gas required to produce metal hydrides. A few issues come to mind: 1) A large weight fraction of this fuel will end up as waste in form of metal salts...

This marketing campaign is absolutely brilliant and was executed very well. As we learned from GTA and Black Ops, when it comes to video games controversy is GREAT for sales. I can see this ad campaign and any controversy surrounding it easily doubling the sales of the game. I really enjoyed...

Well, that's because realistically he's not a billionaire. No one paid him $50bil for facebook yet. Investment money is not his personal funds. He's rich, but not mega-rich. Judging from facebook's profits (if real) he probably does have a few hundred million in the bank - an amount that can be...

I think Google's 'market value' is greatly inflated too. But unlike Facebook, Google does hold considerable assets in patents and intellectual property, i.e. Android OS. Google contributed a lot to innovation of web technology over the last decade, and they did revolutionize search and online...

Really? A company that has virtually no assets and can just as well be replaced by any one of its many competitors is valued higher than one of the largest entertainment/telecom conglomerates? What the fuck are these people smoking?

A protein consisting of D-amino acids will be an exact mirror image of the one built from L-amino acids. It's a fact that stems from the definition of stereoisomerism. The origins of homochirality are not well understood and are still heavily debated, but it took many millions of years for the...
