You must be new in science.
About a century ago our science used to believe in flogiston.
About two or three centuries ago, we used to believe that we were in the center of the universe.
About three or four centuries ago we believed in homunculus growing out from semen.
Science is just a slow process that filters out the options.
Honestly those who are still crying for a keyboard are idiots who haven't tried the Nexus One.
I can type 10 times faster since there is no physical resistance to my fingers, no extra energy on pressing a button down, and this particular difference is reflected in a huge speed increase.
Even if I mistype it, Nexus One corrects it by considering statistically the correct word. Even if I mistype in purpose, it corrects 100% of vernacular usage.
I am so fucking glad it doesn't have a fucking keyboard.
I was wondering, if there are 72 virgins for every man who dies on Earth... imagine the proportion of virgins in heaven is 1:72 Considering that the world male population is 6,602,224,175, then the amount of virgins in paradise is 475,360,140,600. I hope this pimp God has a laundry in heaven and plenty of Lysol...
They found that all the appliances have ridiculous warnings thanks to these stupid lawsuits?
"Hey Borg, look at this label: "Warning: introducing your head in this fish tank filled with fluids may cause a drowning hazard". Are the humans this stupid?"
"LOL, Xorg look at this cup: "Caution: Hot beverages are hot". And they called themselves sentient? Leave the human, take the dolphin and lets get out of here!"

Hah, it seems you need to watch more Japanese horror movies... from my perspective as a Korean/Argentinian Japanese are the master sadomasochists. Koreans are just catching up;)
As long as this contributes to the creation of cars that self navigate through a relay of traffic lights and precise gps navigation, and controlled through voice commands and responding with a nice synthesized voice of a woman and a massaging chair in the car, I won't complain.
Oh, and if we could add an automatic cocktail mixer in the car it would be just heaven on wheels, I would gladly sell my soul to the devil (aka, give up my privacy and civil rights to the corporations).
We will eventually get there, designing atom by atom. Remember that we are just beginning to explore the real science. 40 years ago we found out that injecting attenuated viruses wasn't actually a crazy idea (aka. vaccines). 100 years ago we believed in phlogiston. 500 years ago we believed in alchemy and homunculus (little defective men that grew out from semen). 1000 years ago we believed in flying carriages in flames ridden by the sun god (Ra, Apollo, Amaterasu, Inti, etc...) Give time to time, we are still in diapers and beginning to walk.
Two years? Damn I forgot about Moore's law... NOT!
I am still using my 486dx4, my Pentium III and my Inspiron 6000.
Moore's law is valid only if you are willing to follow the heard. Do you really need Windows 7? Do you really need more than 2mbps? Do you really "need" a gaming system?
What I need is a phone and a pda, nothing more nothing less. Anything beyond Nexus One is simply superfluous for me.
-wooosh- interface with my brain waaah!!
I can imagine next generation of computers, dna transistors, chlorophyll buses...
And the next Microsoft's motto: "Did you water your computer today?" (tm)
I have a Nexus One, unlocked, rooted and it flies with cyanogen.
If you are not willing to mod your nexus one, I would say that you are missing the real fun.
The modded version is MUCH MORE responsive and faster than the original from Google, it is much more optimized and it is really palpable. Another thing is that now I have many options to do including wireless tethering (from two different projects, through Bluetooth or Wifi), I can even use the Camera LED Flash as a flashlight. It is simply awesome. My 530 bucks are well spent.
People, when are we going to realize that tastes change: ALWAYS. If I overload my crave of junk food because my mom fed me only with macrobiotic food, I will end up retching after a week of eating only junk food and I will wish to eat again some healthy food You crave, you overload, you get tired, you wish your past back. You are simple, you crave complexities, you get tired of complexities, you want simplicity. It is a very predictable pattern Another clear example of these taste swings are seen in the fashion industry: What is hot today, it gets old later. New concept becomes cool, that concepts get overused and it gets boring, and the old stuff becomes cool again. But it is not that simplistic either, because the retro stuff that today's youngsters are wearing is not really exactly what my mother used to use in the sixties.
Very similarly remember how games were developed, from a pixelated plumber (or even better, we can go even further back from two lines and a bouncing pixel) with no story line whatsoever to super realistic games like Crysis, maybe we are just reaching saturation. The simplistic retrogaming is becoming much more attractive than ever... and the swinging will go on and on from one side to another, if we learn the rhythm of the taste swinging we can control humanity itself (and basically a money making machine).
All the planes are falling from the skies, this year has been quite a news, from planes falling to the Hudson River, to the latest one.
I think that they are forcing all the pilots to break the rules (these unreasonable rules are made to be broken). Now they will have all the rights to say that the Pilot didn't follow the rules (by being distracted), therefore the likeliness that all accidents from now on will be classified "Pilot Error".
There are around 200 plane accidents per year. After this new rule, it is very likely that the future 200 accidents will be classified as "Pilot Error".
"But, the engine fell off!" "WAS THE PILOT PLAYING SOLITAIRE?, YES OR NO?" "BUT THE ENGINE FELL O..." "DID HE OR NOT?" "Yes, but..." "Then it is Pilot Error, he should have known better".
Unfortunately many plane crashes aren't this blatant obvious, and more likely to be blamed to the pilot. Now these rules, I think they have a new tool to blame the pilots more efficiently and avoid the steep indemnification costs.
There is a very horny lady (like the one in the article) who desperately needed an "aid".
Lady: "Show me all the dildos"
Salesman: "We have a very big selection in this aisle"
Lady: "Show me the biggest ones"
Salesman: "Sure, in the right wall you can find the biggest dildos"
Lady: "oooh, I like what I see. I'm taking the red one"
Salesman: "You mean the huge red one hanging on the wall? That is not for sale!"
Lady: "YES, I WANT IT! WHY NOT?"
Salesman: "Uhm... that's a fire extinguisher."
Lady: "I'll sue you guys for moral and physical damagah."
Nintendo: "I beg your pardon?"
Lady: "I willaaah"
Nintendo: "..."
Lady: "I-Aaah.. AAaaaah... AAAAAAH!..."
"It was somewhat alarming to me," Thompson said. "I've seen shooting stars, but I've never seen something jetting across the sky with flames shooting off it."

I can wear my superhero suit! Now where do I get a jetpack?
Who says he didn't?

Anytime now...

I will sue Google because I almost drowned myself kayaking to Japan.
(See the directions from the US to Japan in Google Maps)

you dont need froyo rooter... because it is pre-rooted doh.
You need to just add busybox and you are good to go.
