I’m almost sorry that I so rarely watch YouTube videos. If I did, I’d probably be thrilled by how much faster they are now. Oh well, I’ll probably see similar speedups in general use such as downloading large files, though I likely won’t notice them.
I’ve previously seen some scientists suggesting that Einstein was wrong about the speed of light in a vacuum being a universal limit. This seems to prove it, at least for particles without mass. As noted in the article, science fiction often relies on as-yet imaginary — though often scientifically plausible — technologies that side-step that …

You know, I can understand this. If you don’t know how technology works, you’re as likely to believe impossible things as possible ones. What I can’t believe is how many people here fall for things just as ludicrous.

In a real head-scratcher, Hull isn’t a fan of the TV series that gave birth to his beloved Daleks, “Doctor Who.” According …

I’ve used VMware products literally for years. Without them, it would have been a lot harder to run my business. So when I ended up buying a MacBook Pro as my main machine, the first program I bought for it was VMware’s Mac offering, Fusion. It worked, mostly. And over the last couple years, it …
This one is interesting because it’s what a lot of people are thinking, in one form or another: […] Everywhere we look, citizens are chipping away at the power of government. And behind much of it is the Internet. […] The basic idea is that politicians play politics, at the expense of those they’re supposed …
I started programming about thirty years ago, before I hit puberty. I don’t remember how difficult it must have been for me at that point to follow program logic or think on all the different levels that a developer has to while designing something, but I do recall the thrill I got when I figured …
