The Curiosity Rover has to be a close second, though, right?
Kyle writes, "The Volt is a fully open source, arduino-based, handmade analog clock that tells time with meters. Available in a DIY install kit, 2 pre-made models, and a mix & match hardware option. The clocks are but with solid black walnut and maple, with faceplates produced in brass, copper, and steel. Only on Kickstarter!"

In Insurance coverage of customers induces dishonesty of sellers in markets for credence goods , a research paper in PNAS by German and Austrian economists, the authors show experimental evidence that electronics repair shops are more likely to overcharge for labor when their customers have insurance.

The Curiosity Rover has to be a close second, though, right?
..and the Large Hadron Collider a very close third?
• The iPhone 5 can play "Angry Birds."
• If you try playing "Angry Birds" in the Large Hadron Collider you get a very expensive mess.
Point: iPhone.
(Unless you can get someone else to clean up after those particle-accelerated parakeets, because I'd actually love to see that.)
What you do in the LHC is play "Angry Bosons". You put an iPhone 5 in the LHC at one of the detectors, and then…
My guess is that the LHC would win, and win big.
Surely you've seen Apple's new "I'm a Mac; and I'm an aerospace rated RAD750 running Vxworks" ad…
I'd read it if it wasnt on a crap site like Cult of Mac… The reporting, writing, editing and community management on that site is execrable.
I'll sum up the article for you: "Drrrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolll"
"What's the truth? Is the iPhone 5 dull, or is it a major leap forward for Apple's most iconic device?"
It probably is a leap forward for the iPhone… for smartphone technology..? perhaps not. But for the iPhone — probably.
My "cynicism that could only be measured on a cosmic scale" has been nourished on the underwhelming impact of previous "most exciting piece[s] of tech of the year."
My Kickstarter, let me show you it.
My wallet sure thanks me for all the cynicism.
It's a shiny thing. Some people really like shiny things.
My understanding of the review, after removing the star-crossed-lover filter:
This new iphone is lighter than the old one.
It is probably more durable.
The new iphone has a bigger screen than the old one.
The screen is longer, which changes the aspect ratio.
The new screen shows images more clearly than the old one.
It has a faster processor.
This iphone supports a faster mobile data connection than the old one.
It has a smaller data cable connector.
It comes with new ear buds, which may be better than the old ear buds.
Not sure which of these things are "the most exciting this year", though…seems like incremental improvements and slight design tweaks on an existing product. I can't really think how my life would be any different if my phone were somewhat lighter, faster, and having a clearer screen.
To be sure it is a nice phone and some good incremental upgrades mixed with at least one glaring downgrade. By far not the most exciting thing ever.
This iphone supports a faster mobile data connection than the old one.
^but which is still significantly slower than USB3 (featured on other current phones). Don't let fancy marketing terms like "lightning" fool you, people.
*sticks fingers in ears*
A whole page on aspect ratio. These people are just so cute!
"The device is so light that the first time I picked up my new iPhone 5 out of its box, I ended up pulling at it too hard and spastically hurling it across the room. The iPhone 5 makes the iPhone 4S feel like a lump of dark matter."
We're talking about 28 grams here. Less than an ounce. I'm sure it feels a bit nicer in your hand but this is worthy of ridicule.
Shut up you cynical heartless bastard, that's no way to talk about a phone that practically floats in the air.
The larger screen area may have something to do with that, as the weight is spread over more of your hand.
Anecdotally: the galaxy s3 feels much lighter to me than the iphone 4s, but there's only 5 grams between them. lower surface area makes the iphone feel more dense.
But this great achievement with it's amazing mapping abilities is still tied to iTunes?
How did they manage to keep it to just 6000 words??
Which leaves us the experience. Is a 16:9, 4-inch display experientially better than a 3:2, 3.5-inch display?
After a few days of using the iPhone 5, I'd say yes. More vertical room allows for more text and information to be displayed on the iPhone 5, which means less scrolling. In Tweetbot, more tweets display; in a web browser, you can see more of a web page in a go. … Notification Center banners take up less of the display when they pop-up, as does Launch Center when you hit the home button twice. … More app icons fit on the homescreen and in folders. If you are typing in a text field, the onscreen keyboard takes up less of the vertical area of the display, allowing you to see more of what you're typing.
Amazing. Think of all the examples of what else can fit on a bigger screen they had to cut out in order to fit the article to 6000 words. A bigger screen means more lines of text in your email. A bigger screen means more lines of text in your text messages. A bigger screen means more lines of text in your morning news. A bigger screen means more lines of text in your tweets. Oh, shit, they said that one…
As I re-read the article, I have the creeping feeling that we've all been trolled…
Wait… 6000 words and he doesn't review Maps??
Or battery life, call quality…
He did, but no one can find what he wrote.
"Was the iPhone always supposed to have a 16:9 display? I seriously doubt it. But now that it's here, it's here for good. And it feels like this is the way the iPhone always should have been."
Oceania was at war with Eurasia; therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia.
Supposedly the iphone5 currently has, according to benchmarks, the most powerful processor in any smartphone on the market. Apart from this one thing (which will soon be outdone by other phones) the iphone5 is beaten on every imaginable spec by other phones.

Joie de vivre in BBC's Bush House
Susan Fraser of Coburg, Ontario heard Laura Lynch's essay on the Feb 3 program, and has her own memories of working at the BBC's World Service...
I listened with interest to Laura Lynch's essay regarding the BBC's World Service budget cuts.
While I don't have any specific memories of listening to the Service (having been born in Scotland and emigrating to Canada in 1971), her essay brought back fond memories of the two years I spent at Bush House, London.
My first full-time job was as a Programme Assistant to the Romanian Section in the Foreign Broadcasting department of the BBC in 1968. We were located in Bush House, and shared the floor with the Bulgarian and Russian sections. I seem to recall we were about 4-5 Brits, working with approx. a dozen Romanians. Heading up the department was another Scot - George Campbell - who had a flair for languages and spoke many. Unfortunately I can't recall many names of the Romanians with whom I worked, but a couple, Larry Galia and Bogdanescu do spring to mind.
I recall also there was a very vivacious tall, stately, woman who, amongst her other duties, hosted a regular pop programme. My memories of the Romanians are that they were a proud people, and full of joie de vivre. They were dedicated to their jobs of bringing the rest of the world to their countrymen and women. Two of the 'stars' on our show I remember were Ilie Nastase and Alexandr Solzhenitsyn.
I, too, recall the different 'smells' each morning as I took the lift up to my floor - the lifts were huge and packed full of all different nationalities, all of whom had had a different spice for breakfast, and by the time I got off, I felt I had travelled through many countries! Obviously the cafeteria has changed - in my day there were no walls of microwaves, but an incredible buffet at subsidized prices which, I'm sure, was probably most peoples' main meal of the day.
I don't believe in those days there was a bar in the cafeteria - the bar was just down the road off the Strand (I think) and was for Bush House employees (maybe it was for all BBC employees, I can't recall). I remember gathering in the bar on many different occasions at the close of day and hearing multiple languages being spoken - it was truly a feeling of how small the world was even back then.
I'm sure the decision to make the cuts was a very difficult one, but it will be a hard one to bear, not only for those who will lose their jobs, but also for those countries who will no longer have the BBC World Service broadcasts in their living rooms.
Thanks to the CBC and Laura for bringing back some great memories!
Susan Fraser is with Collector Grade Publications, publisher of fine gun books.

PanARMENIAN.Net - The commander of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard force has criticized the government of President Hassan Rouhani as being under the influence of Western ideas, a sign of the growing tensions between the competing power centers, Reuters reported.
Major General Mohammad Jafari's comments are some of the sharpest to be made by a senior official in public since the moderate Rouhani took office in August pledging to improve Iran's relations with regional countries and the West.
The government's diplomatic initiative led to an agreement with six world powers last month under which Iran is to curb its disputed nuclear program in return for limited relief from sanctions that have squeezed its economy.
The interim accord has been widely welcomed by Iranians but hardliners are irked by the foreign policy shift and apprehensive that they are losing influence over Iran's most powerful man, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
"The military, systems and procedures governing the administrative system of the country are the same as before, (but it) has been slightly modified and unfortunately infected by Western doctrine, and a fundamental change must occur," Fars news agency quoted Jafari as saying on Tuesday, Dec 10.
The comments by Jafari - the commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) - underline the changing circumstances since hardline president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad left office after two terms.
During those eight years, the IRGC was able to strengthen its involvement in economic and political affairs of the country, a role Rouhani is intent on reversing.
Jafari also appeared to dismiss calls by Rouhani and Khamenei for the force to stay out of politics, saying its duty was to protect the Islamic Revolution.
"The main threat to the revolution is in the political arena and the Guards cannot remain silent in the face of that," he said.

Bono Recovered, U2 Announce Rescheduled Dates
Recovering rocker Bono will return to the stage in August to kick off U2's European tour, three months after undergoing emergency back surgery. The Irish band was forced to postpone the North American leg of its world tour and scrap its headlining slot at Britain's Glastonbury festival last month after Bono was admitted to hospital for the operation in May.
But the frontman has been making good progress in his recovery and he will be back to full health in time to play in Turin, Italy on August 6. A statement released by concert promoters Live Nation reads, "Following Bono's recovery from recent back surgery, U2 are now readying themselves for the opening of their European Tour."
"The One" hitmakers have also rescheduled their North American tour dates, which will now begin in Denver in May 2011. U2 has recorded a special message for fans on their official website to say, "Thank you for standing by us", and manager Paul McGuinness has echoed the foursome's sentiments.
He says, "We're delighted the dates are rescheduled and in all the same venues we originally planned to play. Above all we want to thank the U2 fans for bearing with us. They're the best and the band wants to get back to where they belong, surrounded by their audience."

Andy Marshall finds 'The Thing in the Forest'...by Jack Geldard - Editor - UKC Dec/2010
This news story has been read 8,432 times
'The Thing in the Forest' is a short E7 6c in the Cooley Mountains, Co. Louth, Ireland.
It has just seen its second ascent at the hands of Andy Marshall.
The route, first climbed by Ricky Bell (ground-up first ascent - UKC News) a year ago, has a boulder problem start which leads to good gear a little under half height with the top moves being protected by two �good� skyhooks.
Marshall's ascent was in the same style - ground up with bouldering pads.
Commenting on his ascent, Marshall said:
"Last year I tried to repeat the line straight after Ricky but got caught out being too pumped to finish it off -falling from its last move onto the two skyhooks, to my very good fortune they held and I scampered off vowing to return. Eventually I did taking a couple of trips back including a full day digging snow off the crag and putting up a tarp last week with the hope of limiting the seepage when the thaw came, it worked a little but still the upper holds were damp.
Luckily the holds that were wet were the better ones and the climb went smoothly enough.
This is a great find in a route relatively safe with really intricate climbing at the start to bold moves at the top - a wee gem."

Want to ask Prabhu Chawla, Editorial Director of The New Indian Express, a question? Click here
Q: Who's hastening a Congress Mukt Bharat? Is it BJP or Congress itself?A: BJP has done its bit. Let us wait for the Congress.Shankar RaoBengaluru, 13-06-2016
Q: It is very sad to see veteran journalists like you supporting the dynastic politics especially that of Congress. I am referring to your latest column and an old one that talked about Priyanka being a better alternative to lead the Congress party. Leading a party with inheritance but not by leadership or merit is opposite to the core principles of democracy. Even if congress takes a hit in the short run, it will emerge as a stronger party if it comes out the so called "Gandhi's" grip, don't you think?A: I enjoy the freedom of expression as you do. You can't expect me to agree with you. I am a journalist and would say what I think is factually correct. Congress can't survive without a Gandhi. Has it in the past? In fact, Indira Gandhi created another Congress by throwing out all the old satraps. However, both Sonia and rahul do not possess the kind of awe and acceptability as Indira did.VenkatUSA, 13-06-2016
Q: Do you believe that China said Pak was the reason for Bombay terror attack? What is the reason for this sudden change by China? Is it because of China that feels isolated or Modi's worldwide tour in mobilising support for its UN membership which was till date vetoed by China?A: Both China and America can't be trusted when it comes to India. None of them want India to become a super power and dictate international agenda. Let us wait what stand both of them taken when they discuss India's membership to NSG.BalchandharPalani TN, 13-06-2016
Q: What is your view on our PM speaking against previous leaders in foreign lands, may be to Indians there?A: It could avoid as he has won massive majority. But Modi is a person who speaks his mind irrespective of the venue.Tusarkanta SatapathyBhubaneswar, 13-06-2016
Q: Why not a single leader from non-BJP parties recognise Modi's honesty and come out in the open and say I will support Modi's policies so long as they are for the People! No guts?A: Why do you expect that from his opposition? Have you seen any party including the BJP supporting good policies of their political rivals? Our politics is meant for dirty people who indulge in dirty tricks.VinodMumbai, 13-06-2016

Jury awards Lexar $465.4 million
A jury in California on Thursday ordered Toshiba (Profile, Products, Articles) and one of its U.S. subsidiaries to pay an additional $84 million in damages to Lexar Media, Lexar said in a statement.
The award covers punitive damages and comes a day after the same jury ordered Toshiba to pay $381.4 million in damages for breach of fiduciary duty and theft of trade secrets. This brings the total damages awarded to Lexar by the jury to $465.4 million, although the actual amount to be paid will be determined by the judge at a later date.
Lexar said it believes the total amount as it stands represents the largest IP (intellectual property) verdict in California history and the third-largest IP verdict in the U.S.
Toshiba responded in a statement by saying the jury's verdicts were "in error" and that it plans to pursue "all available legal avenues to correct it." The Tokyo company said that it does not plan to revise its financial projections for fiscal 2004 because of the awards.
Lexar said it intends to ask for an injunction that bars Toshiba products found to include the Lexar technology from sale in the U.S., it said. These include NAND flash memory chips and memory cards that incorporate the chips.
