Re:Japan Now Has More Electric Car Charging Spots Than Gas Stations on Thursday May 05, 2016 @06:01AM (#11634891)

Why don't gas stations offer quick charging spots by now I wonder? Why are they not interested in attracting EV owners?

Re:iPhone Killer: The Secret History of the Apple Watch on Thursday April 02, 2015 @11:29AM (#9311257)

I don't think a watch will solve the problem that Apple's trying to solve with it. If anything, notifications on your wrist will probably be even more distracting than a phone in your pocket.

Interesting article. It's amazing how humans manage to engineer and build such complex systems.

Re:Apple Engineer Talks about the New 2015 Macbook on Thursday March 12, 2015 @11:17AM (#9191277)

Unfortunately, no. He doesn't even talk about the specs that much, the focus is on the backsory :)

Re:2015 Chromebook Pixel on Thursday March 12, 2015 @10:30AM (#9191001)

I like its design and specs are good too, but boy is it expensive. I imagine ChromeOS is pretty useless outside of browsing web or taking notes, so why not just buy a tablet for half the price?

Re:Coding Like a Girl on Saturday March 07, 2015 @03:50PM (#9163068)

Agree. That's just stereotypes and I don't think it's exclusive to one gender. It's just that girls are much less common in programming communities
