In Orange County California InterNet cafes have been associated with Asian gang warfare with occasional violent incidents.

NASA uses very old, stable versions. Partly because the design-to-landing cycle can take a decade or so.

I'm hoping they decide to ship it. There are several very inventive features. And solves some of the issues mentioned in this thread.
I thought last year they found four "drawf" galaxies in vicinity of the Milky Way, about to be absorbed.
The big Kahuna of course will be the merger with Andromeda about two billion years hence. Our mutual gravitational attraction is drawing us together. In practical terms, both galaxies are essentially empty space. However Andromeda will grow from its present size in the sky of six full moons (192 arc minutes; but just a faint smudge) to fill the entire sky. See the collision simulation here.
Alan did grep stuff popularizing OOPs and laptops (dynabook) in 1970s in Xerox PARC. But little of note in the 25 years after that. Does that justify perpetual geek worship?
Time to focus on your core products which are instrumentation and printers. Becoming a PC company in a time of commodization was a mistake.
HP was the original "founded in a garage" company. The actual garage is sort of a shrine in Palo Alto. Several subsequent Palo Alto companies like Apple, Yahoo, and Google have claimed this mantle too.
Isnt the technology good enough yet to do without any actors or sets?
You create "digital doubles", including voice capture, and proceed from there. No more aging immortal robots then (sorry Data).
Is what they said in the 1950s and 1960s. Then the accident and waste problems became apparent.
Still, we must have learned a few new tricks in 60 years.
In general only the fast, large, or hot planetoid
bodies can seen because they have the strongest IR or doppler signals. Several space-based probes planned in the next decade will get closer the earth-like planets in capability.
They seem to have lost there way since OKeefe took charge three years ago. Space Shuttle mismanaged, Space Station mismanaged, now Hubble mismanaged. Only the Mars probes are doing well, probably because they are subcontracted outside of NASA.
Sounds like for a plot for a movie. In the Terminator or the Forbin Project movies it was military computers becoming artificially intelligent and mean.
The household appliance version could be a scary teenage movie knockoff.
Also reminds be when Mickey's magic broom got out of control in Fantasia.
The four or so inferometric telescopes have resolutions as good as Hubble, down to.001 arc-second. Recently a planet (90X Jupiter size) was imaged orbiting a star.
However these dont have Hubble's field of view or 24/7 optimal viewing hours.
Further more, image the scientific leaps you'd get putting this technology in space.
I've heard of people (sometimes original authors) submitting classic literature and oscar screenplays to publishers and getting it rejected. This is an urban legend in publishing circles. This shows you how brain-dead some of these fresh-out-of-school editors are.

2004 was the first year xbox had a profit, albeit a modest one. Time to march on then.

Cellphones already have a tracking mechanism inside them while iPods dont. Cellphone companies have sporadically provided this service to parents.

I've seen alpha.
It will knock your socks off!

In Total Recall Arnold and friends terraform Mars in a few hours using ancient alien technology.
Or else it might have that security hole too.
In nearly fifty years, they've reached a fair level of reliability.

They probably were on the bad side of the odds. Mars is tough on probes. Even the US had two failures in its last five Mars mission.
I hope they try again. ESA Huygens was sucessful. And there are some lunar probes on the way.
"Car-dows"?
If we could get it first installed in our (US) national economic competitors, such as France or China, that might be a good idea!
