I prefer to get news from edited sources.
There might be some fact checking then, less bias, and better writing in most cases.
Blogging tends to be more like newspaper columns where assume a certain bias and literary style in whom you chode to read.
After the Rocky Mountain News merged operations (printing, delivery, offices) with the rival Denver Post, the Rocky got the Saturday edition and the Post the Sunday edition. Saturday is the big car-ad day, while Sunday is houses and department stores. Car ads migrated to web sites more easily and dropped faster. The real estate cabal still limits how much information the general public can find about houses on the web.
On Monday. So everyone does it. They arent supposed to do so - supposed to pull to the side of the road. I was a bit afraid she'd run into my car because she wasnt paying enough attention.

A private company buys a couple of kilos on commercial launches every couple of years.
They send up private citizen ashes. Some celebrities have gone too.
I havent seen this action yet. But assume a certain number of pages are pre-rasterized while working with the current page. Even one page ahead does wonders.
I've heard some modern birds will occassionally be born with feathers on its legs. This is thought due to a gene not yet completely removed from the genome, but deeply repressed. These kind of mutations are called avatar traits in the literature.

You want to interact with your bank with a richer GUI than just text messages.
I thought it was silly to put a computer screen in a refigerator door. But with the cost of video becoming vanishing small (you can by a cell phone at 7-11 for less than $10), what interesting things could you do with video everywhere? It would be a world with Minority Report walls and Harry Potter newspapers. An interesting recent application is the reburbished San Francisco Acadamy of Sciences Museum. They completely replace exhibit and room nameplates with small photoscreens. This way they can be more creative with captioning and update them more readily.
Last Friday's 20/20 was about a some middle-age guy who bedded middle-age women almost every day and infected at least a dozen of them (proven in court by DNA analysis). He must of have had a very effective virus or technique, because infection usually doesnt happen in just a few times. He got 45 years for knowing recklessness. But this was less than two years of his exploits. There is suggestion it was going on for over 12 years and there are many other victims.
The point is that some demographics think they are "safe" because they arent connected with risky types, i.e. gays, druggies, promiscuous youth. But sex is something people lie the most about, and you can never be sure.
P.S. The show & court trial did examine the issue of whether there could be "victims" if there was consensual relations. That wasnt fully resolved in my mind.
The definition of a super is a system at the top order of magnitude of speed and memory. Since the current record is two petas, a super would be one hundred teras. A one tera computer is a super of a decade ago.
A screen that folds up would simultaneously solve two problems: First, be smaller for easy carrying. Second, be large enough for viewing whole documents and for older people. I've seen "scoll" computers depicted in scifi: screens that roll up into a compact cylinder. But they sound further in the future.
The ancient greek philosophers went into a tizzy when they discovered the hypotenuse of a unit square was not rational. The pythagorians incorrectly hoped the universe was rational. A trillion congruent numbers should be useful for any engineering purpose. You just normalize one side to unity.
The video screen would be a sheet of paper; audio just the earphone, text input just the keyboard etc. The power source is the other barrier. Batteries are still bully and less than an order of magnitude more efficient than a century ago. Smaller computing device would shrunk the power need, but the interface consumes lots of power.
In the more distant future the interface would bypass the senses and connect to the nervous system.
I took drafting in high school in pre-graphics-computer days. There was an emphasis on precise block printing in those classes. I knew of some hiring managers in blue collar jobs that would not hire people who had sloppy printing on job applications because that meant they hadnt mastered drafting.
If you observe closely, especially on a slow machine like the iPhone with ATT wireless, you see google displays the inner 12 squares of a map, but has the perimeter 18 squares in memory for fast panning. Similar technique for flipping. Teh previous is cached, the next few pages are pre-fetched.
Vast numbers of 20-something males have come down with severe pain: 1/3rd of the MM patients are in this demographic according state statistics. Each patient is allowed to grow six plants at one time. However this task can be delegated to a "caregiver". There are now hundred ads filling five pages in our alternative weekly advertising caregivers.
I notice science museums try compete with video games and F/X movies with flashy exhibits of their own to teach science. Real science involve more work like learnign lots of background material, doing tedious investigations, and writing papers.
I must confess I was probably hooked by "science entertainment" in my youth, but it was of a different kind than now. I found science books with their glossy color photos more interesting than reading fiction, which was just words. And I loved to play with "science kits": erector sets, chemistry labs, and electronics building kits.

Youthful until the very end, then decline quickly.

Solar system magnetic field is weaker and more cosmic energy is getting through. This predicts a return to normal as the next solar cycle revs up.
Some people claim slow rush hour driving is boring, so they watch video.

I dont understand.
If you cant beat it on quality, you try emotion.

They usually have major new generations of hardware every three years. Getting somewhat stale now.
I'd love to have a 20" diagonal screen (17x11x1.5) that fits in a backpack (9x11x3).
