The Department of Homeland Stupidity at it's finest. And have we moved from "person of interest" to "potential person of interest"? I have an idea lets develop a color scheme for how interesting a person is or how much potential a person has for being interesting.
The "unless you have something to hide" argument is fodder for sheep. The founding fathers of the United States of America had things to hide from the British. There may very well come another day when the Sons of Liberty need to once again take out a government that has become complacent about it's responsibility to honorably govern it's people.
Mr. Schmidt your philosophy is dead wrong. Why fight for freedom for people in China and enslave the rest of the world in digital shackles.
So what? What good is predicting if you can't do anything about it?
From the article "Such events [Coronal Mass Ejections] can expose astronauts to deadly particle doses, can disable satellites, cause power grid failures on Earth and disrupt communications." The effects of such an events seem beyond mankind's ability to mitigate beyond a simple duck-and-cover.
If you Google "iPhone Porn" it shows 28,200,000 results. You don't need a separate app to show it.
If you Google "Android Porn" it shows only 2,350,000 results. The bottom line is Steve Jobs and Apple support porn more than anyone, reputable or not.
I've noticed a trick that media companies use whenever their ratings start to dwindle they: bring up a topic having to do with sex or porn to help, like viagra for ratings. Perhaps this is an indication that iProducts have peaked?
By comparison to our own industrial revolution and the labor abuses then this seems rather luxurious. They get sponge baths, offices (albeit crowded), and company meals? During the industrial transition children aged 9 and up were subjected to much worse conditions. It's a normal part of economic development. A country does wheat Reagan suggested and pulls itself up by its bootstraps and still people complain.
Well that's what I'm having trouble wrapping my head around. What is it expanding into? And, shouldn't what it is expanding into be considered part of the "Universe"? And what's beyond what it is expanding into? Does what it is expanding into have an end too or does it circle back around?
The current education model is pre-industrial, perhaps the games teach a different set of skills in a manner that engages more of the students senses. Perhaps if learning could be re-engineered to be as engaging as gaming things would change.
"iKey and iLock, for lack of a more creative product name
Give me a tiny device the size of a flash drive that I can encode with some unique ID like a segment of my DNA. When I get within 2 feet of my office, my car, my house, or whatever locked item it is, it reads the code from the device in my pocket and unlocks the electronic lock. No more carrying 200 keys around like some medieval jailer. 2007 is half over and we're still securing our possessions with medieval technology.

Very true, mod parent up +10 hopefully someone from OSHI is reading this.
Oh yeah and take your scientific rights and shove em where the sun don't shine. God created the universe and owns the rights. Your infringing on divine Intellectual Property.
NASA needs to stop wasting taxpayer money on this stupidity. Yeah, it's cool, but there's not one practical benefit to studying Mars when astronauts and cosmonauts get their panties in a bunch over a fucking toilet.
Demonstrate that you can manage Spaceship Earth before you go fucking around with other planets.
Besides the EULA that Microsoft actually invented. Serious question, not trolling. What new technology, not just old tech with a new name, has Microsoft actually invented? To me it seems that their contribution to the software is the EULA, not the underlying tech itself.
Their app review process and tight control over the apps (both the epitome of stupidity IMO) make them a prime candidate to be named as defendant. Have not RTFA but hope they get the sued and lose big time for their arrogance. Fuck Steve Jobs.

They made quite a nice profit.

So.... once we see the remaining 10% we will have reached the "end" of the universe?

My kid's lvl 80 DK pwns honor students
This concept including the name iKey and iLock and a description of this product were described a year and a half before Apple applied for the patent.

Apple lies.
Understand just enough to know that I don't understand enough, but this sounds fantastic.
It is very conveniently designed with a dual purpose - VTOL and coffin. Rip off the wings and you could be buried in it.
Instead of releasing more trash - recall IE. Problem solved.
Shoveling bits sucks. It was fun about 10 years ago, but staring at a screen for a few years leaves one wanting for a change.

"This is going to hit consumer pocketbooks."
No, it's going to hit Ford's pocket book.
Can it cough up a technicolor hair-ball?
Why re-invent the wheel, why re-invent the sun.

"In Western Europe" is the new "In Soviet Russia".
The only thing you need to know about game theory is how to cheat and tell credible lies - game over. Where's my stinking award?

Could you repeat that, I was busy texting.
replace it with public rail transport, more efficient and more convenient in the modern age.
Driving sucks, driving in traffic sucks even more.
The automobile is soo last century.
