It's a story about a society in which you're assigned jobs based on the structure of your brain, and how it can be 'educated'. It's a good story, with the moral being on free thought and being able to learn and innovate.
Lower power consumption leads to longer battery life.
In all seriousness though, I once had someone tell me as I was looking into programming in assembly that I should learn an ARM-Based syntax. It still hasn't paid off completely yet, but this is a step in the right direction.
"Let me get this straight: You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands. And your plan is to blackmail this person? Good luck." - Lucius Fox
Gets next to no love? I think this is the BEST mouse for EVERY occasion (Though it seems to be best suited for matching that god awfully huge clicky keyboard).
"It has some really great set pieces, some sweet effects, solid gameplay, an amazing interface and that's all."
Oh really, that's all!? Well damn, I much rather play and talk about something with dull sets, cheap effects, cruddy gameplay, and a confusing interface. What do you consider a good game if you seem to think that these don't bundle into a decent play?
I know the article praises the game as well, but really, that quote is the epitome of someone wanting to criticize something just for the sake of criticizing something!
Well, depends on who you ask. Nintendo will tell you it's a massive threat, and while unsigned code can be, it's not likely.
The attack on the twilight hack was probably brought forth by the new found popularity for the Homebrew Channel, which brings homebrew software to the Wii using masses (Similar to PSP Custom Firmwares or Jail Broke iPhones).
I feel like I'm being a bit obvious by saying this, but by looking into "suicide methods" they weren't looking into anything related to suicide, but merely the existence of censorship or crummy search engines.
I see the good intentions, but they're treating a new age technology as if it were an older medium ("Suicide risks looking for methods clearly need help shoved at them instead").
I'll be frank here. If I were to search for suicide methods, and instead find myself inside a trap of help advertisements, I'd be sent even further down my path to kill myself because it's obvious I no longer have a say in the information that's provided to me.
Long comment short, the study was merely there for a pro censorship campaign.
Who's actually looking forward to something like this? When I first started using Google desktop I thought it was amazing that I could look up something I merely glimpsed at months ago.
Or I could let my family use my computer and have a full report on everything they had done. It was great.
I just don't see how it could possibly be convenient. Sure, you could get something set up with a GPS to keep track of travel, software to monitor browsing and application use, but I'll be damned if I scan every magazine I read or document dates. Then again, I don't have a journal for that reason either (a cheaper and easier solution to it all, really).
That the Google Street View van is driven by advanced, private property disregarding, robots. I don't see how any human could drive those vans and know what they were doing was right...

It's also quite relevant to the article.
That's a sure way to kick the MMO addiction quickly.

Not using terms like meatspace. Really. Where are we, the fridge?

So, is Batman Gates or Balmer?

Yes! I didn't even Steven Spielberg could make games, though the combination of him and EA was remarkable.
Creative gameplay, excellent controls, and terrific physics, it alone has given me hope for third party titles.
If Al Gore or AOL created the internet, then why does every internet address begin with www? Bush clearly left his mark on the tubes.
Sell that on Ebay! Right next to religious idol toast and french fries that look like celebrities.
