The processors, chances are, are not very useful for things that require more processor horsepower. The article mentions use in things that could be powered by minuscule power input (i.e, body heat). I think it was invented for that purpose, that the power bill will be minuscule at worst, nonexistent at best for these things. Therefore, use in portable devices for now are not so much, except maybe a simple PDA that requires no batteries, only heat.
Maybe I'm too hopeful of humanity, but if there's more people born and surviving in general, wouldn't that mean that those more people will be able to somehow INCREASE the world capacity of human life on earth in some way? Or better yet, maybe those people will help us in some other way, like inventing neat things for us, useful or just fun in general. For example, cheap space travel or terraforming. I say we should do nothing about the population problem except increase the capacity in all ways possible.
Ten years later, the GIMP UI is still uglier than a meth whore Then fix it. That's why it's open source; if you don't like it don't complain, fix it yourself, or at least make a detailed layout so coders can do it for you.
But then I realized that I didn't really need to use my computers as heaters...and did a number for the planet and closed the client. Then just run it in the winter.
Yes, the prices are exorbitant. Just wait, patience is a virtue. At least we can actually see and purchase the current status of SSD, and at the rate they are increasing it will phase out hard disks in both capacity and price.
Something needs to change:
Define the userspace driver issue where these guys do not program in. People keep on asking for driver support of things "they don't code for."
Or for the lack of a nicer way of explaining this, they should get people who know how.
These days you can Wardrive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardriving) with a Nintendo DS. You can even access the internet through that said Nintendo DS using the information gathered. Granted, it is quite limited on the scope of what it can do, but the point is it isn't as hard as one would think.
The analogy of someone leaving the door open is quite correct in a way. However, the technology makes the door more like an unlocked door of a giant mansion with many entrances that are all unlocked. People, especially the common person, would probably never know that someone was using the internet.

Youtube is in the USA. Owned by Google to be more precise. They are banning something from USA politics.

They need to add tinyurl, myminicity, and goatse.ca into the spam filter. It's getting ridiculous now.
And then America is Soviet Russia.
Trolls these days...

Did they zoom in on the Giant goatse err hole in the center of the universe?
There is something the jury/public can do, but they have to know about it in the first place.

In Soviet Russia, MP3s DRM you!
I thought JPEG already did this.

Even with encryption, it has been proven it isn't hard to break anyway: http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/04
There's now no reason for criminals not to use Linux. Thanks FBI, you just made us dangerous by default.
