Thus reducing the amount of play in the system. That is what I'm concerned with in something like this. making compact reduction gears is not that great of a feat, but making reduction gears with a very large ratio with an extremely low amount of play in the drive-train would be a massive feat. The lack of play is extremely important for precision, and from the looks of it this guy may have accomplished it. I am not however holding my breath on this one.

Also, what makes you think that that larger objects do not experience a "cosmic wind" of ionized particles while they travel through space like our plant does and other larger magnetic fields?
Scientific discourse has become religious indoctrination these days. Any time someone poses an alternate idea of how something could work they get shouted out of the conversation, their career ruined, and the idea is never even considered, much less tested.
Powerful magnetic fields can also bend light, and also happen to be invisible.
Magnetic fields also have a wake when they are being acted upon by other magnetic fields. Take for instance the magnetic field of our own planet. We know that the field is warped in a way that makes it have a tail like a comet from the solar wind.
Why are we so certain that this lensing effect is caused by gravity and not a powerful magnetic field?
If you believe that you are a damn fool.
This is a classic bait and switch maneuver, and it is obvious. What they are doing is baiting people in with free upgrades to Windows 10 while pretending that it will be supported for a long time. They will be giving updates that you cannot refuse and in a few years one of those updates will be the new unversioned Windows. There will be no option to go back to your previous version and this one will be a yearly subscription model. They will give you the first month or so to start your subscription, but if you do not do so your windows install will no longer work.
I'll give you two years before you are on your knees crying and exclaiming "that asshole on the internet was right, it really was a scam".
The mp3 player that really failed badly (and should have been the successful one) was the Creative Labs Zen Vision M.
I got one of them in the early 2000's (2003 or 2004 I think) and loved it. While all my friend's ipods were failing left and right my Zen worked perfectly until it was stolen around 2008 or 2009. The quality of sound was no comparison, the Zen beat the ipod hands down, it had a much larger storage capacity, video was available on it, which was long before ipod had video capability, and the battery lasted much longer.
The difference in sales had everything to do with where money was invested. Apple invested the majority of their money in advertising while Creative Labs invested their money in creating a great mp3 player.
I'm damn sure on the side of judicial activism. If the laws can be interpreted by their "spirit" then there are no laws and you can be imprisoned for any or no reason. That my friend is tyranny in its purest form, devoid of the good or evil connotations often assigned to it.
Tell me, how can you obey the law when the law changes according to the arresting officer's and the judge's opinion of what the spirit of the law is?
You can't!
It's just like the bullshit we are currently dealing with in the U.S. where the text of some laws is secret and the rulings of the FISA court are too.
In the 90's and early 2000's it flip-flopped who was on top almost every time one of the companies released a new processor. It wasn't until the i-series that Intel firmly grasped the market.
Birdshot would be less lethal from going through a wall, buckshot on the other hand would not be slowed much at all by it. And if you think that a standard wall inside a house which generally consists of two pieces of sheetrock with boards spaced around 12-16" apart will come anywhere near stopping buckshot you are either quite ignorant of the subject or just stupid.
You weren't paying much attention, it didn't say a few hundred meters, it said a few meters. Less than that and there would likely be no serious injuries anyway.

It is not hard at all to give a car remote start without seriously compromising security. You can set it up so that the only thing someone can possibly do with it is start the car when the key is not in it, which is of course the idea in the first place.
The problem comes when the remote starter is tied directly into the computer system instead of having a single on or off input.
"In [another] study, the experimenter belittled the peer group of the participants, who then performed 33 percent worse on anagram word puzzles and came up with 39 percent fewer creative ideas during a brainstorming task focused on how they might use a brick."
Maybe they were just thinking too hard about using the brick on the experimenter to come up with other uses.
Your CD's are not going to quit playing outright unless there is data loss in the index. They will simply miss some notes or produce odd sounds where there was damage. The bits are simply going to be read wrong in some cases, this will not cause a fatal exception in your CD player, unless it is in the index.
You start to get bit-rot around 7 years or so on standard CD's and writable ones. There are CD's that are designed to last for somewhere between 75 - 100 years, but they are extremely rare and expensive, if they were even commercially produced.
Your argument is bullshit.
First off, your police are armed these days as well.
Our problem stems from the organization and training of our police, not the amount of guns available.
The way our police departments hire people selects for psychopathic behavior, and low intelligence.
They are taught an "us vs them" mentality throughout their training.
Laws have been passed in many states which make it almost impossible to hold a police officer accountable for their actions.
Because they have no accountability the job attracts the worst elements of our society.
Our police force is littered with homicidal psychopaths with an itchy trigger finger who might get punished one out of a hundred times they murder someone.
This is why our police kill so many people, the places with the fewest gun laws are the safest places to be, both from other citizens and from the police.

I hope this is true, because I really want to watch Apple crash and burn.

Sadly that option is only available to the wealthy.
We have one for that already, and it is very effective. The cure involves pitchforks, rope, and often guns.

You are missing something very important. For a large number of users of apple products the product does define who they are.
The definition of the poverty line is also far lower than it should be.

I fully agree.
It always is.
