"First day working a tech support job, I answer a phone call from a woman whose laptop won't turn on. She's at the airport trying to get some work done and is very frustrated because she had been working for several hours during a layover and the laptop suddenly shut off. I asked her if she had the laptop plugged in when it shut off, or if she was just running it on the battery. "It can be plugged in? I thought it was supposed to be wireless."
I honestly thought I was being pranked because I was the new guy. After a lengthy pause to decide if this was a serious call, I advised her to try plugging it in. Laptop turned on, she was amazed that it didn't just recharge itself when she wasn't using it."

The moon can appear very different if you went to a different latitude. If they traveled from Texas to South Africa, it would look upside down.

Kendra,
...just like the Sun flipping over at 12:00 PM sharp. Most people don't notice because it happens so fast. (always use approved eye protection).

Alverta,
Sun and moon actually are the same thing, the sun just looks different in the dark and then we call it moon

#15 - Studies have actually determined the more data you store on a USB drive, the lighter it gets. Blank ones are al 0's and stored data contains 1's and 0's and 1's weigh less than 0's.

Gabriel,

Yeah technically, yes your device does get heavier by a very, very tiny amount when you put more data on it.

Nobody will ever read this: But this is the best comment section I ever read on Izi. Also in flash memory or EPROM data is saved by putting or removing some electrons on the floating gate. Therefore the weight actually changes a tiny bit when you safe data.
