    Fusion reactor actually put out more energy than it consumed for the first time ever

    It's freakish looking at Christopher Lloyd's face and thinking it looks young. Ye gods I'm getting old.

    Ford and Purdue develop new EV charging cables

    There's a guy on youtube who put a solar panel on his leaf and it gets him an additional 20 miles after about 20 minutes of sitting in the sun. That's not bad considering he is charging a secondary battery that then charges the main battery. For trucks, hydrogen makes more sense imo.

    Chinese-Built Replica of the Titanic to Set Sail in 2022

    That's just the crap they send overseas. If you give the Chinese an unreasonable price, they might not say no but you'll pay for it later.

    “Anemic” iPhone 8 Demand Drags Apple Shares Lower

    It's bizarre that the iphone x is released just a month after the iphone 8, and it's even more bizzare how fugly the design is. When both facts are taken together, it seems like the execs had no faith in the design and didn't bother to improve it or give it its own time to shine. I don't know...

    Laptops Could Be Banned from Checked Bags on Planes Due to Fire Risk

    This seems like a bizzare choice, but then again it seems like something of mine gets inexplicably broken nearly every other time I fly. Last time, ALL of the handles on my luggage got broken. Time before that, my expensive, 8 year old samsonite appeared with a giant fracture and a massive hole...

    Apple Reimagines the iPhone as a MacBook Touchpad

    So is this a dual boot thing like those android tablets that also run Windows 10, or will this thing able to run phone apps and MacBook programs simultaneously? Both would be interesting but the latter significantly so.

    US Government Releases Proposed Guidelines For Smart Guns

    > I'm with the therory/utopie that if you don't have easy access to weapons the need to have access to weapon is also reduced. Sorry, I have that simple mindset. oh boy, here we go... due to the overwhelming presence of surveillance, crime is decreasing worldwide, BUT... in those areas where...

    “Ghostbusters” Review Embargo Lifted: “It’s A Bust”

    i've been debating on whether or not to watch that and you may have just tipped my opinion.

    China, Fears That Pokemon GO May Aid Locating Military Bases

    > it was supposed to be sarcasm? there may be a valid concern as the app does street level mapping as well as facial mapping, but chinese officials do have a penchant for hyperbole and overreaction... 'all chinese people, yooooooouuuu better listen! you stay in line! HUH! better to not stray...

    Windows 10 Won't Hit 1B Devices By Mid-2018

    windows phone is actually a great interface, but the problem is that there just aren't many apps for the platform. then again, imo the greatest interface of all is still webos (mattias duarte's masterpiece: cards, stacking, universal search, etc), so my tastes may be questionable :p it's weird...

    Last Call For Old School Credit Card Fraud In The U.S.

    it's also worth noting that the new card readers are terrible at reading the old cards. even with an immaculate card, it takes multiple swipes to get a reading, and apparently this is very common according to the clerk. this limitation was probably engineered to encourage users to switch to the...

    Ubisoft Giving Away Another Free Game

    here's another oddity. splinter cell 3 in particular used the same voice actor for all english voices other than the main character. this wouldn't be so bad, or even unusual, if this guy hadn't used the same exact 'strangely enthusiastic' voice for all of the characters.

    Ubisoft Giving Away Another Free Game

    sweet game. here's an oddity: back in the day, the original splinter cell featured extremely smooth antialiasing that the 2nd and 3rd games did not (in many ways, the highest settings in splinter cell 2 and 3 look worse than splinter cell 1). i wonder if this is why the first game is being...
