Does anybody else hate the constant use of the word "reboot" since it was used to describe the new Star Trek movie? Battlestar Galactica was not a reboot. It was a re-imagining.

I actually dislike watching things on very large televisions. If you have sufficient resolution and are sitting close enough to the screen, then you won't have any problems. My 12" laptop screen is subjectively as big as a 30" television across the room would be because it's only a foot and a...

Is there even a consumer device that can drive a 4kx2k screen? I thought 2560x1600 was about the end of the road for video cards...

I thought there were 3 ads--the article has one embed twice....?

At least link to the original!

Jerky_sanHuzah now I can program my own kid =) Can you use Python?

Is the title pronounces aklerometers? But seriously, this could be useful for tablets or for people who might want to display a long webpage vertically--there are desktop LCD monitors with a swivel feature to do just that. Though there should be a snapping feature to keep small movements from...
