Ninebot one is a similair thing the retails for $599us It's not as solid construction in terms of scratch resistance, but they give foam padding to add while you are learning. I don't know why Solowheel is so expensive, probably because of low volume sales. A few wheels are popular in Asia and...

There is little tech in them, it just varies speed with tilt. That's it. No special gyroscopes or self balancing.

There are cheaper very decent options. The ninebot one is the best of them, it's only $500. The only issue is that in most countries its illegal, due to 250w limit on electric bikes. However they are so rare I think for now you will be left alone. The trick to riding one early on is to not...

Also people are posting histerical non sense about the wind power commission. For those who don't know, there are actual serious problems with wind power. As the portion of wind power increases the amount of wind energy that offsets carbon power is currently decreasing. This is because the coal...

The target was set based on carbon output, we are way ahead of the target due to using less energy. So the power target reduces proportionally to usage, the co2 target will still be met. Keep in mind that RET (the renewable energy target) is making us Australians poorer. It forces us to buy...

I agree. We simply don't seem to be able to make good long term predictions about complex systems. Climate science is useful on the same level as social sciences and macro economics. Look at how indirect the things they are measuring are... Plankton for temperature, soil content for salinity...

Honestly though, the gold watch was probably created because Ive knew he would have to wear an apple watch from now on, and he has become crazy elitist. He will be first in line for the gold watch, if not already on his wrist. I don't know if it's because the Australian dollar is tanking, but...

Does the computer run 24/7 doubling as a server?

I still don't get it.... Can't people just sell the gold on the black market for even cheaper? plus they should have more buyers now that the gold can be used to buy a one month token? Those who have accumulated gold will be laughing... sure the miners won't be as viable, but is mining really...

Actually the amp hour rating tells you the charge capacity, but not the energy capacity. Of course the lay people associate 'charge' with 'how long the battery will go' so we almost always see it being used. As a tech site Ars editors should really be picking this stuff up.

The author admits to ripping 3d models and graphics from super Mario Galaxy released in 2007. So the content he used isn't that old at all.

The real problem is how a claim of $16 million can even be entertained.... it's absurd. She was on $300k+ pa at the time, so she basically wanted 50 years pay? Didn't surprise me at all that her husband has also lost a similair case for racial descrimination, claiming a similair absurd amount.

Agreed. Does ars believe this is a landmark case for discrimination in tech industry? Would this have been covered without gamer gate? I really don't know. But are seems to cherry pick legal cases and science research, maybe to be SJW's? Either way the articles are interesting enough, there...

Don't Americans have freedom of association? So private companies should already be free to choose who they do buisness with, just like consumers choose.

Yes.... let's not do something incredibly worthwhile because some paper shufflers haven't tied enough red tape yet. It's only research, not an actual individual diagnosis or cure. but I'm sure the Feds will find someway to make money out of it. Maybe a research licence per device etc...

I work in a big corporation where it is policy to get approval for *any* communications between *any* microprocessors. Wastes a lot of time and does nothing for security.

Articles like this are the sort of junk you expect to see on blogs. It's like ars wakes up once morning and decides we hadn't had a global warming reminder for a while, so we have another pointless straw man article. Apparently the author is annoyed nameless people may believe something...

The HTTPS rerouting is bad enough, but adware in the first place is just evil. Are we really meant to believe people want extra adds inserted as they browse? Lenovo have treated thier customers like morons, hoping they wouldn't identify the cause of all the extra adds so they can make extra...

Wow this is really bad... A lot of people don't bother uninstalling all the crap ware. So they are proxying all internet traffic through one web server, then injecting ads all over it. So people buy the laptop then get a slow ad filled browsing experience where some third part scum ware...

The prices are crazy.... $180 is amazing. Plus they are selling 23" monitors for it for $109. I am also impressed that all 4 ports are USB3. These should sell like hot cakes.
