No Corporate Logo, No Bloatware, no crap you don’t want on the #Nexus6 from T-Mobile:

That’s Un-carrier – listening to our customers and giving them what they want, not sticking a stupid corporate logo and a bunch of crap software I know you guys don’t want on your #Nexus device.

Google did want to highlight the Virtual Preload (VPL) capabilities on Lollipop, so we made MyAccount available if you want it… But you can totally delete it. That’s what we do.

The newly–achieved periodic crystal structures are more than 1000x larger than those discrete DNA brick structures, sizing up closer to a speck of dust, which is actually quite large in the world of DNA nanotechnology.

The cosmos is aligned

The probability that these alignments are simply the result of chance is less than 1%. there is a missing ingredient in our current models of the cosmos

Robots are mundane

as usual, state of play. don’t draw the wrong conclusions just because your cul-de-sac isn’t robot-dominated yet.

The Illuminati go official

wat. this shit freaked me out when i was 14. what’s going on?

The name of the Illuminati is often misused. Many profit-seekers continually create accounts and aliases under the names of our ranking members in an attempt to mislead those who are loyal to our organization.
