I think geo-blocking is still legal. http://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/internet-serv... says that the provider needs to inform about "...whether any geographical restrictions apply to the use of the content and if private copies are allowed."

Weird article title indeed. And just to clarify: Sweden, Denmark and UK are in the EU, none of them have the euro.

I though the lesson from the iphone's success was that a product with less features, easier to use and more integrated make great products. With that reasoning plug-in hybrids are the future, although I'm personally rooting for pure electric to win in the end.

Cool, it would probably be less complex if the items were at one place all the time, like with a robotic warehouse: https://youtu.be/6EmR0KHBj_M?t=1m

A switch to arm would be easily justifiable if it was the only road to fan-less macs and apple controlling the processor development, but intel has made huge strides in power efficiencies lately as well as opening up the possibility for using intel IP in SoC's. And isn't the ipad already a mac with an arm processor?

I am trying to imagine a building sized cylinder appearing and dissapearing throughout the day in my neighbourhood, on a regular basis. Seems kind of cool to me.

When the national secuity agency was told they started their own investigation on the following day, it may not say much but they had the opportunity to admit ownership and they didn't, which points in the directon of illegal activities.

I would love to read this article in a shorter, more concice format. From the paragraphs I read the author spends most of his time trying to describe the common (mis)conceptions held by a layman in advertising by giving numerous citations and examples, which is weird and repetitive when his argument is that we already know and hold the assumptions.

Can a pure thorium reactor even work in theory? I thought it needed a neutron source to sustain fission like uran or something similar

I trust these stats because i dont immediately see conclusive proof of the simplistic headline.

Wow, am i mistaken here or are we witnessing the shift to an computing landscape where fpga's with hardcores like arm are the de facto standard vs asic's of today? And will this remove xilinx from the throne of fpga market leader?

wow, i really disliked the way that news report was presented. i think it was because the narrator ended each sentence as if it was the last sentence in the story.
