The way I read the article, I thought they meant "1000 hours" was the amount of time they have had these prototypes tested before they could be confident that the cell were durable enough. I could be wrong, though.

Hmm... This looks pretty cool, if the main constuction of the bricks is sturdy enough. The concrete glue must really work for this... But if you think about it, if possible, there could be lots of different shapes of bricks, inside and outside ones, that a builder could use to accomadate many...

The power of reputation that Mint has: In so much that the distro is based off of Ubuntu, unless we speak in terms of development, Ubuntu and its other derivatives are rarely mentioned in its way Mint succeeds. Mint probably doesn't tinker with the packaging of the deep core of Ubuntu - like...

Hopefully, I'm not the only one who has always pronunced this incorrectly. As for the redesign, it looks... rather flat. Seems to be a trend in OS design these days. But if anyone can name any desktop that can't ever be criticized for being ugly, I dare you to post a picture. UI design is a...

Just an idea... How about a personalized mystery theme, of which there are clues scattered all over the website that lead to a winning path of some sort? We're in the dark first with one clue, and the clues to be discovered would vary in location and type from player to player of this site. Yet...

When I read the freezer/fridge combo sarcasm before this picture, I was rather confused at first. I visualized that the compartments for freezing and cooling for foods were one and the same - that this device would place and regulate the temperatures of each food in the exact same space...

I swear... I'd love something like this, only without a touchscreen, and instead a keyboard attached to it. (more specifically, a laptop with similar specs as this) I must be quite old fashioned :/

My suggestions if I ran Nintendo: -Create a desktop client, kind of like steam, that supports backwards compatability with as many Nintendo games as possible - including the latest controllers and WiiU game. Make sure it runs on most OS platforms. -Keep the the 3DS line going, and make it...

My view of this situation... Mozilla is an organization. One, I believe, that has a hierarchy, does it not? There are different roles different people play in running it, with power structures, etc., doing all these different things for open source software technology. To me, this is no...

As long as he follows Firefox's Community Participation Guidelines as precisely as possible, that is fine. That would show that he has tolarance towards homosexuals in the company he now heads. But still, I wish he could apologize for funding a campaign that would have stripped them of their...

I wouldn't go that extreme to every comment on this thread, but it does display the dark side of many people's ways of thinking. Basically, same sex marrage is a loaded topic. "Hate" appears to be fully denied by the people who want to ban it, as nowadays it is a derogatory term to people's...

Over 877 comments already... And yet, so far in this debate in general, I have yet to see a single legitimate argument on why to ban same sex marrage that, when analyzed further, does not involve negative discrimination and fear of homosexuals. Apperantly, the vast majority of new court case...

Now looking at the twitch channel, it looks like they're mutilating Pokemon Crystal this time.

Also, I don't know if this is a coincidence, but just today Nintendo is starting to give the new Pokemon games away to people who register their 3ds systems and certian games into "Club Nintendo". Such creepy timing... I bet they were watching this social experiment.

My view of Twitch Plays Pokemon: Too many cooks burned the soup. An army of amataur cooks created a potion that poisoned the entire restaurant, but eventually pleased the food critic on the 1,000th try. Edit: And just note: I speak in terms of how they play the game. Watching the people play is...

Yes... I just read that wikipedia article after my comment was removed. I guess that I was too much like the "popular belief" :/

Understood. I guess given it's an obselete design nowadays, that network effect must be incredibly powerful to keep it a standard all these years.

From what I've heard, the QWERTY keyboard layout was designed to slow people's typing speeds down, so that carpletunnel syndrome would occur less often. Then it just stuck as a computer convention somehow ever since. Is this true? edit: Very tough crowd here... It's only a question.

Hmm... this is interesting... In the comments section of this article, Jono Bacon said that it was his own "opinion," about what the OS progress they have so far, and not "fact". But either way, looking at all the comments here so far, this definitely looks like poor public relations just from...

Here's something I noticed: The target audience of this phone are the upper classes in society - they aren't like FirefoxOS, whose target was mainly developing countries. Canonical wants their phone software to be a luxury product in itself, not a cheap and unconfigured work people must always...
