In other words it would have been hard for me to find a set like the one I bough without 3d and that doesn't bother me too much. It was pretty cheap, imagine is nice. big enough.
everything is going to be cheaper in a year though. but this video? could have been one paragraph of text...
Tvs come with imagination now? I guess it is good that it has a big enough imagination too, wouldn't want a tv that couldn't imagine enough things. That has got to make watching them a bit odd. I agree that text would have sufficed, that is what imagination is for.
If so- I want all my body parts converted to artificial parts BEFORE the zombie apocalypse. Afterwards it would be too late.
Depends, I would assume that to still be a cyborg and not a robot you would need to have your brain intact. So even if everything else was converted you could still at least be zombified via the brain. Admittedly you might be immune because of the body being non-flesh but not completely.
G+ fits my desire for social-networking perfectly:...
Not for me nor my friends. Until G+ integrates with my Gmail calendar so I can organize events, it's a non-starter. Even friends of mine who hate FB have had to go back to it because all social activity and events are being planned and have invitations from there. I'm sort of surprised that it didn't launch with that feature as they already include non Gmail emails into circles so even nonG+ people could be included to events and respond.
This is the number one reason I have seen my tech friends still use fb. I still prefer g+ since I like the ease of circle use but I do wish a good event system would get going for use in g+.
Wow, nobody has posted yet. Apparently nobody cares about Google + enough to even try for a first post.
I know I've seen no incentive whatsoever to use Google+, and I have a gmail account that I've had for years which doesn't correspond to a real name -- so their whole "thou shalt have a real name" as an ID thing is a non-starter for me.
In all honesty, I'm not even sure of what Google + is meant to be used for, or why I'd even care.
This isn't true anymore. You can easily set up accounts or use accounts with not real names for google plus. admittedly this was a policy of theirs but it has been fixed.
Ever tried GTAIV? I get giddy every time I imagine going back in time and giving my young 15 year old self a console with a copy of GTAIV or Dead Rising glued shut in the disc tray.
Well in 1997 GTA the original top down one came out. That and 2 were great! I loved the multiplayer you could do with it, though that may have been 2. At least they brought an updated version of those with the psp version not too long ago.
In 1995 I remember it was around when the AIM/ICQ switchover was happening. I remember that more than any website stuff or specific computer specs around then.
This actually really interests me because it will have skype availability along with a slew of other apps. Having this as a potential phone along with the potential for great games is certainly tempting.
1. spend more money on sidewalks, crosswalks, walking + bicycle paths, and safe intersections
2. spend less money subsidizing the corn, sugar, and 'value added' goods industries based off of those two carbohydrates
3. pay doctors to stop people from getting diabetes in the first place, instead of paying them to diagnose and treat it.
i realize diabetes is often genetic. but often its lifestyle based. and that lifestyle is not the result of 'free choice', its the result of urban planners and social engineers who believe in profit over everything else.
So first of all this only considers type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is a completely different beast with similar results in blood sugar. So you still will end up with type 1 diabetics that require insulin to eat any carbohydrates. It also should be known that when you are getting low in blood sugar it is food you need, not insulin. It is cases like this where I wish the two types were actually called different diseases. Ah well, not much one can do about it at this point.
It also should be known that there are already insulin pumps for automatically pumping insulin in for type 1 diabetics (or sometimes Gestational diabetes). Though something that could give glucose or something similar if someone was dropping to dangerously low blood sugar levels could be helpful with something like what is talked about here.
Which is why we should be investing in public transit.
What is annoying about this is that there are some fantastic ideas for expanding MARTA in Atlanta. One that I kept hoping would happen would be a smaller light rail connection along the beltline. The most that has happened thus far is just some hiking trails along it. At least Marta has expanded the existing northeast train a bit, but not much compared to what the beltline could do for use.
Google saw that coming, and knows that to continue to stay relevant, they have to get into the social search space, which requires having a social network. Facebook is never going to give anyone free access to their data.
Google is already working on this. They are slowly merging the ability to have g+ searched with the user in mind when you are searching from google's home page.
They did bookmark sync between Chrome and Android browser some time ago, so sync is not all there is to it.
Ah, that is good to know. The sync wasn't the only reason I used it on mobile. The easy tab switching along with some of the plug ins have made it a bit nicer than the stock android browser.
Firefox has been doing this for a while. It is one of the primary reasons I use it since there is great synchronization of bookmarks along with it being a great mobile browser.
I'm surprised it has taken chrome this long to do it and I'm also surprised it is only good for the newest version of android. I'll stick with Firefox mobile for now until the chrome works in 2.2 or 2.3.
I have to wonder about this too. Depending on the way the scans are done I'm sure that there will be medical reasons some people won't be able to go through the scanner. The ones in the US force me to not go through the scanner because I'm type one diabetic and have an insulin pump / real time blood glucose sensor. I find it hard to believe that all cases will be covered as far as medical equipment and safety of the scanners.

Send a spacecraft to the Moon and have it Travel up and down it in a pattern so after 5 years we can see with the naked eye, a Coca Cola Slogan.
So for centuries as people stare at the moon in amazement they think... Coca Cola.
You can't buy that type of advertisement.... Well I guess you could...
I wouldn't go that route, it didn't work out too well for Chairface Chippendale. It ended up just being a HA on the moon.
That said, there is NO chance of a moon base by 2020. Even if Gingrich got behind for real (promising space activity in Florida campaign speeches is normal - every President since Kennedy has done it, including Obama), there isn't time to develop the heavy-lift capability, much less actually move hardware to the moon - we're actually behind where we were in 1962 right now, in that we're not even in working on a heavy lift vehicle yet....
That isn't quite true. There is the falcon 9 which looks promising as far as the private side. Though on the non-private side I would agree with your statement.
that "smart" will be the adjective of this decade the way "on demand", "extreme" and "turbo" were misused in previous decade.
Try this same quote with other brand/company names, and it really doesn't make sense. Smart makes small cars in France and this is just some new cars they are trying out. I've seen the all electric smart, and if it didn't cost around $34,000 I might be interested. When I checked the one out that was at the dealer I found that when you buy it you get to set up a plug in power setup for it and your residence. It is a decent idea except that people that are renting wouldn't be able to do that.
Anyway, I've gotten off topic.
Smart is a noun in this case, not an adjective.
What he really means is that the US is gaining more culture per round than Canada. They are just afraid of the culture borders being eroded because of this. What they need is a good Canadian culture icon so they can do a culture bomb.

Are cyborgs safe from becoming zombies?
If so- I want all my body parts converted to artificial parts BEFORE the zombie apocalypse. Afterwards it would be too late.

In the Boston area, the best is Lanes and Games near Alewife T. 8 games in pristine condition. Not as beer-friendly as Flat Top, but damn good.
I agree, that place was great! It was also neat because of the candle pin bowling which I had never seen before.

I'm curious if anyone knows how it compares to the National Pinball Museum, recently reopened in Baltimore, MD.
There seem to be a few places like this now. There is the one in las vegas: pinball hall of fame
The one in Baltimore you mentioned: national pinball museum
One I just found in California
The one the article mentions in Seattle
another I found in NJ
An article about several of these opening up around the country.
And if you are interested in playing I found a place in St. Louis CP Pinball.
Any other places people have found that are worth noting here?

What the hell does a handheld gaming console need GPS for?
These things are being made by one of the most EVIL technology companies out there: SONY
You do the math. Have fun having your movements tracked...
According to Wikipedia, it only has GPS if it is a 3g version. So if you hate it that much just get the non-3g version.
This actually really interests me because it will have skype availability along with a slew of other apps. Having this as a potential phone along with the potential for great games is certainly tempting.
That you and your friends stop playing that video game and have a different hobby.
After seeing this I had to post the penny arcade, since it actually deals with space combat, or at least in a sense ;).

In the UK, if you are selected for the scanner and refuse, you are not allowed to fly. There is no pat-down option.
Does this mean that not everyone is 'selected' for the scanner? Are there medical options for it there?
Firefox has been doing this for a while. It is one of the primary reasons I use it since there is great synchronization of bookmarks along with it being a great mobile browser. I'm surprised it has taken chrome this long to do it and I'm also surprised it is only good for the newest version of android.

Nope, this is what you were talking about. Though in all fairness both could be called the nonsense museum and it would fit.
How is that funny and not insightful?
I think it is more a bit of both. It both is a bit insightful and from a funny movie. There may also be a bit of a woosh going on here.
