I thought the article was about seeing the outside world from the invisible person's perspective. If visible light is beamed around you, that must mean you get no visible light for yourself, so the invisible man is also the blind man, no?
I couldn't imagine such a thing happening where I live (Denmark). I hadn't seen it coming in Spain, but this is awesome. Makes me believe in a sane legal system - albeit a futile world view - maybe I oughta move to Spain?
(Don't forget to factor in price. I can't use any that cost anything.)
Then that leaves out most everything - you even dismissed my BetterPedia, which is a peer-reviewed version of every single Wikipedia article, available for €5/mo. Is gratis really a requirement?
Well, that would be combatted as easily as Facebook et al are using your pictures and data for whatever purposes they want. Their EULA specifies that you specifically grant them a non-exclusive, transferable, universal, yadda yadda license to use your DNA for whatever purpose they see fit. You give away the added value and retain the empty copyright container.
You don't get the doctor to sign your EULA, you sign theirs.
Having said that, I don't really see the need for 100 Mbps internet access for everyone - it's expensive to provide, and what very important services does it provide that 1 Mbps won't?
Windows is a 32-bit extension to a 16-bit graphical shell for an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
Oh, I'm fairly sure you need to provide a sustainable/renewable energy source to get funding for any kind of project nowadays. Fossil fuels such as the saccharides you suggest won't get you anywhere, PR-wise or otherwise.
I'd love to be able to see tastes - that is, have my sense of taste piped to the brain as vision instead of taste. I wouldn't want my vision permanently replaced, but I'd love to experience the brain visualising what I taste. And hey, instead of the usual 3 dimensions (or more if you're lucky), you'd have 5 factors to go with.
Now that would release an outroar. Imagine The Sims 4 using product logos instead of pixelating sprites to cover That Which Is Not There^W^W^W^W^Wgenitalia.
You do realize that you could just as well create a search for yahoo so it's "y WoW patch 3.2 notes" with Opera by right-clicking into Yahoo's search field, choosing "Create Search" and picking "y" as keyword, right?
I've tried duplicating that in Google, it does... the same thing, the same way, and I'm too lazy to switch.

It is however quite comical to see how many spelling mistakes end up in such advertisement: as an Italian I could write an encyclopaedia of misspellings of Italian food ("Spaghetti carbonara", "Pizza casa di Mama", "Cambozola",...)
Don't forget the espresso machines found in local "Italian ice cream stores" that are branded "Expresso" - and I'm hearing that in speech a lot in Denmark.
And how much would it cost to get something adware-infested into the browser selection screen?
Well, since the list is ordered by market share, you would probably have to get enough users to use your "browser" to get past Opera in terms of market share.
It is well established that given a dialog that requires them to pick from multiple choices with equal prominence, an uninformed user tends to simply choose the first one.
Sort of - it's Apple's App Store in addition to a jailbroken iPhone with no official warranty or support.
Ah, so it's not as DRM-laden as I'd thought. I recently got an Android-enabled phone - the choice between the two was made final when I noticed the stories about rejected apps and censorship in the iPhone store on Slashdot.
With Android I often have to search Google Code or simply Google, since the Android store mainly features useless and/or proprietary applications, but that's how I've always gotten my software, so I have no problems with that.
Can iPhone users buy the app in another store? I hope so; buying a (smart?)phone for a couple hundred dollars which can *only* run apps from a single store is not very appealing to me.
I am not an iPhone user, but from what I've heard it's either Apple's App Store or a jailbroken iPhone with no official warranty or support.
My recommendation as a first language would be PHP. The nice thing about scripted languages is no compile time! So you can write your code and test it instantly. PHP also provides nice error handling to help you debug.
I used to like PHP, but today I would recommend Python or Perl over PHP any time.
I wouldn't say PHP provides nice error handling; in my experience a proper try/catch implementation/whatever is way more beneficial when you're striving for an even somewhat modularised design than the try/catch hack PHP implements - at the moment, there is a base Exception class which is extensible by the programmer, however, this (at least as of PHP5) isn't used or extended by any of the built-in functions/modules - instead, they take the (PHP native) functional error handling paradigm by "triggering" errors (and returning an error-indicating value) which can be caught at top application level. PHP6 might make up for this with the PHP STL, though I'm sorry to say I wouldn't set my hopes too high for that.
As for myself, I started out with some basic HTML/CSS/JS, then Visual Basic 6 and Borland Delphi, went on to learn classic ASP, quickly switched to PHP, where I stayed for a couple years, then I learned more advanced JavaScript and picked up C++ and Perl and am now learning Java and Python.

Is this Funny or Flamebait?
Well, at least this seems to set an ultimate limit to Moore's law, since it's not very easy to go to less than one atom per transistor.
Yes, a single atom should be small enough for everyone.

And surely, 1 Mbps will be enough for anyone.

Add revenue is one way to keep costs down for the end user.
Last thing I heard is Apple was adding a lot of revenue and keeping costs up there . . . but this is the video game industry after all.

How does XKCD work as a book? Half of the joke is only seen when you hover over the cartoon.
See, this is where the science of hover cars come into the picture.
And how much would it cost to get something adware-infested into the browser selection screen?
Well, since the list is ordered by market share, you would probably have to get enough users to use your "browser" to get past Opera in terms of market share.
On second thought, that sounds very doable...
It is well established that given a dialog that requires them to pick from multiple choices with equal prominence, an uninformed user tends to simply choose the first one.
But then, what if the uninformed user thinks their preferred browser actually is on the presented list? Mozilla probably won't be the winners if this so-called "ballot screen" ships.
I agree - lets change it to a flying chair.
This was modded Funny when it is in fact an awesome suggestion.
However to make the list completely unbiased, they could randomize the order on every page load.
How is ordering by market share making the list biased? I mean, antitrust penalties notwithstanding
