Couldn't they couple this with the up and coming "long(er) distance" wireless electric induction technology to set up some sort of power transmitter under your couch/bed/recliner/movie style seating so that you wouldn't ever have to keep it charged or worry about batteries?
Maybe you shouldn't post every detail of your life on a website.

In this case, it's a terrible sign that the Japanese are so fed up with investing in the US that they now see hurling money into space as a better alternative.
Yeah, but we all know that SpaceYen is way better than Regular Yen.
Well if you broke it down completely, energy is never created or destroyed, it only changes states. So all the energy that will ever exist was created at the beginning of the universe and is simply stored in different states.
And all energy is atomic energy, the difference comes in how we decide to extract that energy.
Couldn't Google et al just block the UK instead of paying the tax? I wonder what would happen if the entire island was unable to access any search engines.
Also, your average non-geek doesn't care about an apple tax or linux, they see all the "cool" things you can do on an apple machine so they go out and buy one.
Lets not forget that there are a bunch of people out there who call the Nintendo Wii "Nintendo Sports" and aren't even aware you can buy different games for it.
Driver: (turns on ignition, car starts)
Lexus: Good morning Driver 1, thank you for choosing lexus. Today's commute is brought to you by McDonalds, why don't you stop in on your way to work and get a McGriddle and McCoffee?
Driver: (backs out of driveway, heads down the road) No thanks car, It'll just be to work and back today.
Lexus: (tone of car changes to be deeper and more aggressive) I'm afraid I can't let you do that Driver 1. (car auto steers to nearest McDonalds, forces driver to purchase McGriddle and McCoffee)
You bait them with pretty pictures and a new user interface, then you switch it out with something that looks and feels just like XP. Even their new marketing campaign (mojave) pushes the UI with the "participants" talking about how great everything looks. I have yet to see a vista commercial that talks about the technical merits of the operating system, because your average user doesn't understand or care about indexed search or file systems etc.
Pinpoint Your Geography & Increase Efficiency
Local cable television geo-targets your message so it reaches only the consumers most likely to visit your retail locations. Zoning strategy eliminates waste, making your buy more cost-efficient.
cable's flexibility allows you to reach an area as large as an entire market area or as small as a single zip code. This has been the benefit of "spot" or local cable television, for the last 20 years.
Advertising in a single market
Comcast Spotlight can help you advertise on cable in over 90 of the country's 210 DMAs or Designated Market Areas. A DMA is a unique geographic area defined by Nielsen Media Research.
such as MTV®, ESPN, and many more. For years cable television advertising has been delivering targeted advertising solutions to businesses just like yours.
Along with the most recognized cable television networks, you are given the opportunity to advertise either in a single zone or geographic area that corresponds to where the majority of your customers live and shop or you can advertise in the entire market to reach a much broader demographic base. We offer you with the option of targeting your customers geographically or demographically.
How can they possibly place different advertising in different areas at the same time? You've seen a geographically placed advertisement on your Comedy Central or ESPN or MTV or any other cable channel, you've just never noticed it because Joe Blow crap TV ad isn't going to have the cash to advertise on cable, while a company with a little more capital and an advertising agency will pull off a professional advertisement that fits seamlessly in with the cable stream.
And in case you were wondering how they squeezed in an extra 30 second spot without messing up the program run-time, well they either ran the ad over another 30 second (or however long they want) spot that was direct from the station, or (and this is more for cable specific channels) they actually have set up 30 second spots of dead air specifically for your cable company to overlay their ads.
All cable companies can, and do, inject advertising into the streams of its channels. This is not a new thing, in fact you probably never noticed it before.
So against slashdot convention, I read the article, and it does not mention anything about open source. It does mention opening up the service to anyone and providing an SDK to publish a channel. See the quote from this article. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10050649-93.html
"We're opening up the platform to anyone who wants to put their video service on this box," Wired cites Wood as saying. "We're going to release the software developer kit, so anyone can publish any channel, and users can access Web content on their TVs."

Instead I play games that are deliberately non-realistic, where I can get shot 10,000 times, eat some food, and miraculously heal.

So what you're saying is that we need to bomb Mars?

That would be "turns Blackberries into iPhones," if you were going to stick with the whole Jesus "water to wine," thing.
Looks like someone failed the English part of the SAT.

Wrong, this is classic bait and switch.

So either Halliburton wants to kill trade secrets by forcing everyone to patent their idea or risk having their idea patented behind their back...
or, they are patenting the method of stealing trade secrets so that they won't have to worry about patenting their own ideas anymore.
I thought the point of a trade secret was that it was something that could not be patented. Hence the need to keep it secret.
Bullshit, real terrorists use x-plane.
