    ....a Early teen girl.

    And yes this is 100% fact, I raised my daughter though the hell that is Midddle school and high school, Satan himself is a nice guy compared to teenage girls and the heartless crap they do to others.

    of course two. One on the left ear, one on the right ear.

    We also localize based on experience, we do not look up for the source of a car horn honking because we know that cars cant fly.

    The shape of the ear DOES color the sound a bit for front/rear spatial identification, computers have to simulate that to get the imaging correct.

    This is why kids dont like expensive headphones or speakers, it shows them their mp3/aac music is complete crap. My daughters boyfriend made fun of my $5500 speakers in my living room until I had him listen to some sample tracks from my collection. he had on his ipod one of the songs so I told him, "plug it in the front of the amp"

    WE listened to his ipod that he was proud of, then we listened to the DVD-AUDIO disc of the same song. I made him understand that he had never heard that song before even though he had been listening to it for a year.

    Dead on accurate. It's called acoustic timing. I suggest you listen to a Binaurial recording with headphones on to experience this.

    Well typically I dont bend down as most of my co-workers are the same height as me. and I can , It's called sending a SMS or IM chat message and we do it all the time on Video conference calls.

    Trading a glance except for a smirk to act like a 12 year old is not that useful when we can be lewd and crude in the SMS messages.

    the 2008 G1 has a 1200mah battery. Milli-Amp Hour. You are claiming they had a 1200 Mega-Amp Hour battery. 1200Mega Amps is 1,200,000,000,000 Amps or more than what the largest lightning bolt has ever delivered.

    Please get your nomenclature right, because it makes a big difference. little m for milli BIG M for mega. Yes it's important and required when you are talking about this stuff.

    It's because the energy density of gasoline in a battery is insanely dangerous. Right now the very high capacity batteries are scary as hell, if they start to approach gasoline in energy density, I'll be demanding built in fire suppression and explosion containment technology built into them.

    A gasoline fire is a cake walk compared to a shorted 20MWatt battery.

    Very large companies have been doing teleconferencing for years. Many have been doing weekly video conferences via Tandberg VC systems for a decade successfully.

    Honestly, there is ZERO reason to force everyone to drive to one location for a conference except for the drinking and dining on the company dime afterwards.
