Not OP, but to be fair the original site's title is in all caps.

The best tweets eh? This cutesy language starts to become passive-aggressive after a while.

I think (s)he means they're not present in the sample code under "pull-left & pull-right". The code block's divs just have column and size classes.

Don't know if the creator will see this comment, but the hover state of the signup button is still Bootstrap's default btn-success style.

The title of this is basically false. The humans gave the overdose, the robot merely processed the order.

I like this idea, but I don't know if a trojan horse in the footer sends the most positive political message.
Re:Why Google Glass Broke

I see this more as how phones are currently. You must divert your attention away from life to fiddle around with a device. That is diminished reality. Something like a mature Google Glass that integrates seamlessly with reality, having commands that can flow with day to day tasks--that is augmented reality.

The problem with this is that it assumes progress in these areas is linear. For example, it's easier to leap from bi-plane to jets than it is to go from jet airliner to something faster because a system gets more complex based on both its components and the connections between them. Simply put--there's more that can go wrong.
"Why can't I travel to my destination is less than 8 hours?" isn't so much the question as "Can we carry enough fuel to power an engine that's faster?", "Do we need entirely new propulsion?", "If elevation could help, how do we keep this thing skirting the edge of the atmosphere and still function?" etc. I don't know anything about aeronautics, so forgive my oversimplification, but this seemed like an easy to grasp example of what I'm talking about.

This struck me as analysis for the sake of analysis. I'm willing to wager many people pick the most bare wall in their house on purpose because it looks best to film against.
