If the verdict is still out after 21 months then the verdict is not still out. There comes a point when a claim changes from being "not true yet" to being "not true" simply by virtue of the amount of time that has passed.

The security staff in spaceships are supposed to have red shirts not blue.

I really admired Elizabeth Holmes and was gutted when she turned out to be a fraud. Another way of saying someone has a "reality distortion field" is to say they have the skill of persuasion. But it's not enough to just have that, it also has to be…

All the different online video services encode movies at different bitrates and using different codecs. And something that is not known generally but is known to movie fans is that the MS Store is actually the best one. For the same price as iTunes…

Those kind of things only really work if they're super-authentic, like they are modelled after an exact model from the era, one regarded as a classic, and they have tried to use exactly the same materials as the original as much as possible, and exa…
