reading the summary the I-RAM came to my mind. They should try again with an updated version. With the current DDR2 prices and fast PCI-E slots it would be a pretty fast solid-state drive.
Take France: They always hate monopolies, hate corporatocracy, hate anything US-mass made. So for them to rule against Apple is understandable. Heh, it's quite the opposite. France insisted that competition to be removed from the major EU "goals" from the Lisbon treaty. There are lot of state-run and private quasi monopolies and laws restricting competition, for example in retail and transportation.
thousands of Ferraris, Porsches, Lamborginis etc. worth 200K or even more are sold every year. So there certainly is a market for such flights.
Instead of buying a sports car ot luxury yacht why not go to space...
But they should try a little more than 1min 30secs and why not use them also as a super fast transport for large distances.
Start yout own business and do only the things you like. I bet that at the beginning of your IT career you have had lots of ideas and own projects, but you put them aside because of your job. There must be at least one that has not been realised yet.;)
Voting from home is voting from an uncontrolled enviroment, where someone can watch what I type or what I have on the screen and I can't see how this problem can be solved by any technical means. Let's say I want to force/pay 1000 people to vote for me. With online voting I can setup a private "voting office" and watch carefully if they really vote for me. Or my boss can force me to vote for his favorite candidate for example. Someone can tell his whole family to vote what he wants to. This is not possible with the current voting system, where I vote alone, in a secured area.
Online voting will make possible not only for the government or some powerfull people to track a vote, but for everyone who has some influence on the voter.
