You kids don't know how easy you have it
I just got an email from my mother. It’s supposed to be a funny, technology-based update to the “I used to have to walk to school uphill in the snow both ways” speech that our grandparents gave our parents. Unfortunately, the email is already dated, with references to Napster and the original Sony PlayStation.
So, I [...]

And now I'd like to talk about computers for a bit
I happened across PC World’s Best 10 All-Purpose Laptops, and I have to say, this is truly asinine. Its asininity is multi-tiered. Let’s start macro, and then we’ll break it out down, FJM-style. My very first question, before I even start reading the article, is, “How many laptops aren’t all-purpose?” Are [...]
…But can it dance?
The below video (which is agonizingly slow, even when they speed it up to 5x), shows a robot that can reassemble itself after being kicked apart into three separate pieces.
The narrators explain how the robot (which appears to be made of the same cubes that Wall-E creates out of Earth’s trash) first identifies its separated [...]
