Pardon me, but the phrase "You are what you eat" was coined some time ago.
What you eat has always had an effect on you, it is interesting that it's at the RNA level, and will mean that in the future, the doctor won't need to get you pills to get you better from a condition, just a menu.
A person goes into a shop, sees "Star Wars" on the shelf (never seen the movie before), and mulls over whether he'd like to purchase it or not for his newly purchased VHS. Then decides to risk it and enjoys the movie.
The same person 30 years later goes into a shop and sees "Star Wars on BluRay" on the shelf and mulls over whether he'd like to purchase it for his newly bought Bluray player. He sees that this particular copy has new-bits which he doesn't want, but he still thinks that he would like to own a better version of the movie, but he wants the original movie in better quality, not the revised version. This he can't have. The person who owns the copyright is not interested in selling him what he wants.
There will always be 2 options: 1) to forego the purchase and make do with the fine films by other people not as insane, or 2) acquire a copy without the help of the copyright owner of the originals.
It's crippling to make an account on facebook and accept friend-requests from real friends and check on it once in a while?

Can you ask them, nay demand that they add 1 single feature: Make manually-saving-a-file a thing of the past. If there was ever something an OS should do is to make sure that what you're working on doesn't get trashed just because you forgot to save a file manually for 5 minutes.
The Google wave protocol is a first step in the right way, Apple Lions' autosave feature is another step, but Windows really needs this as well.

Warning: Uninformed opinion: That will depend on how you learn the new language.
If you learn a new language by babbling it with friends, not a care in the world whether you're doing it right or wrong, just effortlessly correcting anything you discover you're doing wrong, you'll learn it in a certain way.
If you systematically learn a language in school, but never use it in the real world, you'll learn it in a certain, different way.
If you learn a language constantly worried whether anything you say is wrong or right, you'll learn it in another different way.
Why? Because what situations/surroundings you learn the language in, and what other emotions you feel all has an effect on the connections to the language within the brain.
Our brain (as a species) has been the same for about 100.000 years, it has taken us this long to realize and truly understand our surroundings, given another 100k years, what incredible potential lies ahead.
The walled garden approach is best for you, if _you_ are an idiot regarding computers, _and_want_to_stay_that_way_.
The rest of us who aren't afraid of a little reading and learning are fine with open systems.
On the subject of the OP: - I would have love to see them extend this even further and finally change how programs can be activated/installed. You have this ISO with all the stuff the app needs, doesn't it make sense that just by clicking on the iso, you start the program instead of installing it? a self-contained environment for each app in each ISO.. wouldn't that be great?
The thing is, it's not an improvement even though they think it is.
There is one good reason why the old system works better: We have relation-based memories, so logical drop-down menus work very, very well because you remember what you need to do by the relationsship from the current window to the command you're looking for, _even_though_it's_longer_to_navigate_.
The ribbon system (especially the home tab) is an arbitrary assortment of buttons and placement, so you have to specifically remember the arbitrary layout, which is harder for us humans (especially if another person than you chooses the arbitration).
What they should have done is to have the ribbon tabs completely logical, and then have a "favorites" tab where you can move what you want to that tab, and customize the buttons as you want, then you both use a relational-memory as well as build your own arbitrary layout which is easy for you to remember because you made it yourself.
This is how a ribbon system should be done.
- And yes, not allowing addons to create their own tabs sucks hard.
Sounds to me more of an investment trap. i.e. you try and blow things out of proportion to try and gain more money until it's time to run off with the cash.
Good things start from evolving from small beginnings as a good basic idea, that's the true start of great things.
Nono Stem cells are people. Corporations are people. Therefore, by transitivity, corporations are stem cells, so he probably just got "injected" by some big corporations.

Why not move to using bluetooth headphones? No more connections needed, and by integrating bluetooth, you have more seamless connectivity options (home/car stereo) than before.
I can count how many games I've finished. Super mario bros 1, & 2, Loom, Space quest 1, Monkey Island 1, & 2, Leisure suit Larry 1, 3, & 5, Day of the Tentacles, Civilization 1, 3, 4, & 5, MoO 1, Doom 1, & 2, Diablo 1, Braid, Plants vs Zombies, Starcraft 2.
I can't count how many games I've started but never finished, but it's a list of most of the popular games released for ninetendo/pc since the 1980s.
The thing about the story-with-a-twist is that it allows you as a storyteller to ferment within the audience a certain point of view through the whole film, and at the last minute twist it so that it allows the audience to ponder the philosophical nature of that point of view.
If you already know the twist, you never truly ponder the primary point of view in isolation of the twist.
Not knowing the twist also allows you to experience a story in a more close setting with the characters, instead of more distant as you know their ultimate predicament.
6th sense and unbreakable are I feel good stories which use twists well, but only if you forget that there is one to begin with.
- But the gravitations effects which are unexplained.. those can't be explained.
Regarding the OP: - So basically this is a fancy way of saying that empty space itself might be what's missing from the equation.. something I've believed for a very long time, but I didn't have the know-how to be able to explain it as "gravitational polarization of the quantum vacuum" - that might not be the complete answer either, as we don't know if that's enough representation of the energy which is inherent in empty space to explain what's missing, but maybe it is.
I really hope every single review will advertise the fact that this isn't a computer game like every other computer game, it's an Online computergame, so you can only play it Online, thus you really should be comparing it with World of Warcraft and others like that.
For me it won't be a problem as I'm always connected, but I'm not 100% sure I'll buy it, I might use some "means" to try it out to see if I actually like it first.
It's cheaper though than World of Warcraft, you don't have to pay subscription.
This is the same thing as what happened with Bob Dylan. He liked playing tunes, and played a lot. People then added social meaning to what he was doing, which benefited him, so he carried on doing what he did, and people carried on liking it for what they added to it themselves.
What then is literary analysis other then ideas and thoughts of the writer of the literal analysis? Thus everything is arbitrary as long as the analyst can explain the premise of his ideas well enough.
Actually it is in the best interest of Apple to make good on any promises with the equipment they make. If they didn't say that they supported multiple monitors this wouldn't be an issue, but they dom, and as a company who wants to be taken seriously, they should then uphold that promise for the lifetime of the product (up to some standard of maximum).
If you can't trust equipment to do what it promises to do, that's important consumer knowledge, but that will only hurt the company if you, the consumer, then decide not to buy based on the apparent breakage of those promises.
You probably don't realize how tinfoil-hattish you sound. They found a glitch with a graphics driver for an old macbook, they will probably fix it Soon(tm) with assistance from Nvidia engineers, it won't be today or tomorrow though, and if you want to call that evil, as well as deleting stupid "THEY WPNT FIX IT TOOOOODAAAAAAYYYYY, BO0O0o0OYCO0O0O0OTTTTTT!" threads from their own forums.. good on ya mate.
I've always misunderstood the open sourcing carmack likes to do, but now I get it, he's not giving away the game, he's just allowing others to tinker with the game engine.
And yes, I think copyright is getting ridiculous when you can't play a 20+ year old game for free.

Electric fields,
- you can easily see this with magnetic dust, like iron dust: http://people.web.psi.ch/quitmann/BarMagnet_Large.jpg
gravitational fields
- Can easily factor these depending on measurable bodies moving relative to each other.
magnetic fields
- iron dust again.
neutrinos
- it's a particle, so it can be detected: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino_detector
oxygen gas, nitrogen gas, carbon dioxide
