If it's Boeing, I'm not going.

Enough of this crap. I will be moving my legacy gSuite account to Microsoft come May. Can't move the other paid accounts, though. Too bad.

I actually trust Microsoft now more than Google (my 90's self hates me!). I am a paying customer of both companies, but still get the distinct impression of being Google's product. "Remember when we promised you X? Tough nuts, sweetie."

Great research. This would put an end to one of the Plagues of Egypt! On the other hand, this chemical could be used to create swarms in enemies' crops. Terrifying.

Eric, can you write "Space startup Firefly" in the title instead of just "Firefly"? My heart skipped a beat. Thank you for your coverage!

Thanks, Jon, for this article. But.... no puns? Beth could help you out here.

Interesting error. Everybody involved must be doing a git blame and hoping their name is not linked to that line. Though things like this should be caught in Code Reviews.

This sounds like a subplot of The Wire, with Pearlman wiretapping McNulty's phone in season 1.

Very cool. As Tucu mentions, the price per MW is very low. This shoots down the two main objections to renewable energies: cost and reliablity. As an aside, this site is very close to where my grandparents arrived from China about 100 years ago, and close to where some relatives live nowadays...

One of the mysteries of modern technology is why phone makers won't pack beefier batteries with their phones. Make the damn things less thin if you have to! Or at least offer your customers a choice. I know I would choose a bit of bulk if that affords me longer battery life. --B

George Romero should be securing the rights to the SCO movie: The Suit of the Living Dead.

That's putting it mildly. The Xmas special left my mind in need of a bath. --B

According to their latest 10-q filing, IT expenses for the third quarter of 2015 were 172 million dollars, up from 121 in 2014. Not very expensive for the amount of infrastructure and bandwidth they consume. --B

Random thoughts: From a strategic standpoint, it must be scary to have your infrastructure managed by a competitor. Though they are AWS's biggest customer, so I guess their fates are intertwined. Chaos Monkey, Chaos Gorilla, Chaos Kong, Armaggedon Monkey... they need a Galactus Monkey, that...

Advertisers should LOVE AdBlock. It weeds out visitors that will never ever click on their ads or purchase their products because of them. It saves them the trouble of paying for advertising that will have no effect, thus improving its effectiveness. Websites, on the other hand, should really...

I've been told *wink wink* that you can change the available content simply by switching DNS servers. No VPN needed. So if your DNS server is in the US, you will get US content. DNS servers in England will bring you content available in England, etc. Google "netflix change dns" for more...

Annalee, welcome to Ars! Been a fan of your work at io9.com for a long time. Sad you left io9.com, but glad you left for another of my favorite sites. --B

This arrangement must have given at&t some good will with the government - useful to get more convenient legislation. At the expense of their customers, of course.

Rest in Peace, good sir. You will be sorely missed.
