This may be Rogers' best chance ever to attract new customers, so of course they're going to do everything they possibly can to avoid "wasting" an iPhone on someone who's already on contract. Rogers'...

It's the vertical version of Habitat 67 that I've been waiting for — or at least that's how it looks in the spy photo. I like it, as long as it has more windows than we can see in this shot, an...

It's not spelled with enough "K"s to be actually menacing, but, whatever the historical derivation, I don't think you'd call your yearbook "Clan" anything today, unless you were Scottish.It might be j...

Eugenics is just the application of the long-established practice of "animal husbandry" to humans, and thus also a particular form of racism, both of which predate the theory of evolution by quite som...

Now, if you like your megaprojects to be less scary, there's always hot dry rock geothermal, in which you drill kilometres down into the ground, pump down water to fracture the rock, and then set up s...

If you reprocess the waste, you can extract more fuel from it, and breeder reactors, as a matter of design, produce fuel. And then there are those stale-dated nuclear warheads to be burned, too. The...

One of the reasons that I can't wait for hybrids to become dominant: cars will have more sense of responsibility than the lazy dough-heads who sit there idling because turning the key is so damned co...

I like where they're going with the site, and can't wait to see what they do with the system map. I've noticed some problems with the "next bus" times, but I assume that's beta-ness, and I like the f...
