Having been to rural Japan three times in the last decade, if you go there you'd understand why. Unlike here in America where the lines are linear with the minimal amount of crossing, in Japan wires are strung up like a crazy web. Especially in small towns the power and telecommunication wires are just run every which way to Sunday. They are extreamily intrusive to the eye so as an artist it's not really something you would gloss over... Because it's a very prevalent part of the landscape. As an artist I would almost always keep a picket fence or birdhouse in a landscape painting. In Japan they keep the power lines and use the interplay on how all those wires alter the visual landscape.
I see plenty of senior staff members, well and truly over-the-hill types, who are just as bad about using their phones in meetings. 20 somethings are going to take their lead on how to act in a meeting from their peers. If you clearly set an example of what is OK and not OK in a meeting, this isn't a problem but many Managers don't bother to manage. Do yourself a favor and don't bring your phone into a meeting, at all. If you really MUST be connected, weight what is more important to your personal reputation at that moment. Disrupting the meeting and taking a communication, or realizing part of your job is to be fully committed to the place you're at.
I was going to comment and point people to this thread, since many of you have pointed out exactly why this problem exists. However when I went to find out how wide this press release was distributed I found it was just some hack job done by a PR firm. This never made it into any kind of mainsteam media, just trade publications/websites. Raytheon might as well be shouting into the wind.

Half Dalek, Half Timelord! Time stream cross-species re-integration! Just kill off Dr Who and make the show about his kid. Then stick it in the Firefly universe for half the season until it learns how to use a Tardis properly. SHOVE IN ALL THE OPTIONS!
Why should academics get any kind of 'special' professional treatment on this issue? Just because the university didn't enforce this rule before doesn't mean you get to whine over it now. I work for a national manufacturing corporation, as a designer, but I know that everything I create 'on the job' belongs to the company. That's why they pay you, to provide the talent, to be a resource they can draw from. If you want to develop online courses and keep the rights, do it outside of your day job as an independent contractor. Please come to grips with the fact that you are not a 'special' individual just because you teach kids all day. I think my work is pretty awesome, but I have no illusions that down the road the company may decide to change it to suit a new need or political strategy. That's why I have a separate, personal business, so that I can develop my own work without fear of copyright issues. Take what you've learned and move on.
It's not what you can think of its what you never considered this device could be used for. Thinking just how people use thier phones, imagine something you didn't have to hold or prop up that can stream video or click pictures whenever you want. A family member could wear it and stream a funeral for others who couldn't attend. Parents could take video of thier kids while changing a baby while fending off a rouge dodgeball. Journalists could unobtrusively observe an interact with groups and people in a more natural way. Mugging victims could set thier glasses to shoot pictures of thier assailants that would immediately upload to an off-site server. You could play back last nights drunken revelry because you lost track around 2am and your buddy said that girl was way uglier than you thought she was.
I could go on all day with examples but for the most part it's the amazing uses that an average person comes up with that justify the technology.
Rhino is what I learned on in college, back in 2000, it's got the best user interface (in my opinion) and still has professional level tools that simpler programs (Blender, SketchUp) do not.
According to the dictionary a moon is: A natural satellite revolving around a planet. So how can Pluto have moons if it's not a planet anymore? Is there a more scientific definition of a moon, because I think we're just naming an asteroid at this point.
Amazon and the big publishers have kept the price of books at where they are today, they take a chunk and give a laughable amount back to the author. You want to rail against a $15 ebook being published by one of those guys, I'm all for it, their cut should be considerably less. However if you want to complain about a $8 ebook put out by an author, on their own, who has to do ALL the marketing and ALL the legwork on top of spending a sizable portion of a year to create that book... go fly a kite.
You pay $10 to Netflix to get dozens of ours of entertainment a month.
You pay $18 to see a movie for 2 hours.
You plunk down $20 to drink beer, have some wings and enjoy a 3 hour football game at the bar.
$15 for an ebook, which gives you at least 10 hours of entertainment is not unreasonable.
You'll find most entrepreneurs aren't any smarter or more interesting than managers, but you will find a difference in how they go about 'building something'. Entrepreneurs start from the ground-up, while Managers take what's available and move it in the right direction. It's easy to quickly change if you're a new, light weight company, but corporations have a lot of people and paperwork that has to be chewed through first to get to the same place. Of course the Manager will have a job next year, while the entrepreneur takes a larger risk.
There must be a lot of this kind of 'backup win/lose' sort of publication, someone should be collecting it all for an alternative history museum. It could be filled with never-launched websites, newspapers printed one way or the other, inventions that never happned because someone beat them to the punch a day earlier. The world is full of paths that never get taken but someone thought ahead and was prepared for the opposite.
Google supplanted by Amazon. heh eh hehe hahaha hahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!H!AHAHAQH!H!L!U%R)($(@*)R@)... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
No really, dream on, that's never going to happen.
Wow, sad to hear this, I have very good memories of begging, borrowing and buying Nintendo Power. As an online marketing professional it's irritating to hear that they're not going to switch to a digital version or a 'nintendo power blogger network', the brand has a huge following and could easily be revitalized in a new medium. It's probably a management fuck up, it usually is.
I want a flash drive in the shape of a key and the port to be like a small ignition cilendar, like your car. The flash key has a program that stores all my logins and passwords for me, so when I'm prompted by my browser to enter it I just pull out the key, turn it and it auto-fills my info. Build please?
Yep, go for it, who needs standards? HTML5 employs thousands of website professionals every year! This new split will create even more jobs. Imagine every snot nosed, green behind the ear, kid designer using whatever technology they want to build websites for friends, family and businesses. Then when they break, not in a year or three years, but in say... oh... 48 hours and can't fix it... they hire me! I'm all for this, chaos = cashola!
Forget the keyboard, I hate the touch pad, can we get a mouse that seamlessly clicks into the side of a laptop? It's so annoying carrying a separate mouse with cables when I could be just popping this thing out of the case itself.

I'd like to see this set as a prequel, an aging Arnold is the template for the Terminators but realizes too late that Skynet is taking control.

Give me the iGauntlet or iPowerGlove, let's make a statement that I'm wearing some Apple tech.
Pot doesn't make people stupid, people make people stupid. Is there a pot equivalent of an AK47?
