    Exactly. he also assumes that most people will gladly use google apps. Most dont. I use google apps for a few tasks, but it's a lot more wonky than OO.o compared to MS office. Plus the storage in the device is a joke. I know a LOT pf people that have 80gigs of video, music and other files... photos are taking up a lot of space because normal people don't use the craptastic phone camera for their normal camera, so most photos are a decent 10 megapixel in size. So until they get 250gigs of space in this phone it's a joke to think it will replace even a netbook. And this is assuming the person does not play any games. Sorry but phone games are junk compared to the full fledged PC or Xbox360 games.

    They claimed the iPad would replace the laptop that many carry around. Several tech "journalists" tried and failed miserably as the tiny space, lack of real word processing, and the fact the device was NOT DESIGNED to be a laptop all made it fail. I cant imaging typing a 300 word article let alone a nice 1200 word piece on a tiny crappy bluetooth keyboard. Decent laptop keyboards are bad enough (what moron though that square chicklet keys are a good idea again?) I prefer to write on a real keyboard not a fisher price toy.

    It's just like the other hardware reviews out there, I can tell that 5 out 7 reviews have not even take the device out of the box as they simply spew the same stuff the other 4 did.

    This is nothing but speculative hype trying to get a writer that really has no clue some facetime with the readership.

    Moral of the story...

    If you found some really good info on cracking a bit of hardware, you had better create a pseudonym and set up a way to hide your tracks online before you release the stuff. Hide who you are, use open relays and proxies outside of the country, do uploads or connects only from public wifi points... You have to hide like a spy because the corporations control the police and government and can get the cops in full SWAT mode to bash down your door and hit you in the head with a rifle butt several times.

    "What oceans?
    No magnetic field means there's nothing to stop solar winds from stripping earth of it's atmosphere.
    With no atmospheric pressure, the oceans would boil at 0C (and the water vapor would then be blown off into space too)."

    Let me fix that for you.

    Wild speculation has it that our atmosphere will be stripped off without a magnetic field. Most experts now disagree as Venus is proof that that is not true. Venus uses a ionopause (as does Mars) but it is generated a different way than Earth's magnetic field. Mars is a special instance because something catastrophic happened at one point. The atmopshere had enough pressure to hold liquid water (it can now, but only in low lying areas or short amounts of time), enough for oceans. What kind of atmosphere makes a difference too. Hydrogen verses carbondioxide for example.

    The magnetic field does more by keeping us from getting cooked by radiation than anything else.

    911 is useful for three things.

    3 - structure fire that is too big for you to handle.

    Any other use is being lazy. during and after a blizzard because your power is out or you have no heat is NOT a 911 emergency.
    Plus, if you can't handle 1 or 2 in a dire emergency on your own... you are very poorly prepared. Know CPR, Know advanced First aid and have a full field guide sized first aid kit. And have a shotgun at home. Yes some medical things like heart attack and stroke or being cut in half cant be fixed with first aid, In those cases during an emergency like a blizzard, I suggest learning last rites and saying goodbye to the person as they die because 911 will not get there in time.

Some made it the first winter by eating all their animals after they either died from lack of food (forgot to harvest enough hay for the cow and horses) or because they froze to death because they failed to build a shelter for the animals.
