The linked article is dated from today. Maybe the I-Ball itself is new and the one *you* saw was the H-Ball or somesuch. Personally, I'm waiting for the U-Ball...I hear it will be much better and have more features.
I have invented a new method of transportation which will be of unbelievably great use to the peoples of the world. It is similar to a motorcycle in that it has two wheels but instead of being powered by a gasoline engine, it is powered by the person riding it. The power from the person's lower limbs -- I call them 'legs' -- is transmitted to the wheel via a shaft- or chain-like device fitted to flat, slab-like actuators which would extend to the sides of the device. The person would then press against the actuators with the ends of their 'legs' in an alternating fashion thus propelling both themselves and the device. It would also have two wheels and method of steering although I have not yet worked out the method or what color the wheels will be. This idea was invented by Thered.
I saw this demonstrated about 10 years ago while working for a military contractor during a demonstration to increase awareness of security risks. They were able to capture video and keyboard data through a wall adjacent to the PC being monitored. (I can't elaborate on who 'they' were...but I'm sure astute readers can guess correctly.)
It looks like they fixed a problem I have with the current MacBook Pro: hairs near my wrists get stuck in the tiny crack between the top surface and the gray plastic edge. The new design seems to have abandoned this (albeit, very minor) irritant.
Not sure this needed/. front page position, though.
...there go the rest of our IPv4 addresses! I can just imagine it: the Java Cow Interface library v0.1. Let the cowboys control their cattle via laptops in the field. myCow = moo.create(). "Warning: cow at address 64.04.207.2 refuses to enter pasture!"
Maybe not so good for the customers, though. This seems almost like the mainframe world where peripherals and upgrades often cost more than they should. I envision more than one support contract being voided by adding 'non-approved' hardware to one of these machines.
Not only does this move make it easier for newbie end-users to adopt Ubuntu, it should make it more palatable to corporate types who are used to paying for products. ("It can't possibly be good if it's free, can it?")
Users not wishing to pay can always get these codecs the old fashioned way.

As any worthwhile conspiracy theory should be! The only problem here is this one isn't good.

It would be interesting to see what this thing looks like. It must be pretty rugged in order to survive the landing.
It's a little harder to build dams around hundreds of islands. In the Netherlands, you pretty much had only one direction to worry about.
I have invented a method of perceiving the universe and understanding much of what is in it. Details are here: http://www.timecube.com/

...um...well...quite phallic. Won't all the other space-faring countries be snickering when the ESA launches it?
...a similar estimate for the kernel alone. Or, perhaps a more generalized number which would take into account other distros.
Do the compilers of any encyclopedia create the knowledge which they record? Or do they concisely record knowledge from other sources?
35 inches deep and weighing in at 136 lbs. fully loaded. My desktop would not be able to sustain that!
Except the last portion of the last sentence. What do "medical enterprise customers" have to do with anything else in that article?
That'll keep 'em busy! (Or at least keep the /. crowd busy debating whether it would help or not.)
I'm not so sure...I would expect that the Model M probably produces a spark-gap kind of effect which can be picked up on AM radios a block away.

I think they mean chips capable of operating correctly at higher temperatures.
I think that would really piss off the Invaders. John Varley can back me on this.
LOL! I don't know if this is intended to be informative or insulting...but I'm slightly less a 'bear' now thanks to my MacBook Pro.
In my professional experience, I've found that at least 9 out of 10 laptop cases leak. Try taping up all the holes to keep your oil in!

I prefer Stephenson's "bullshyt" - which is what this beta stuff is.

No, I think other fluids can be used. I seem to remember sodium in a sealed system? (I'm probably wrong...as other posts will no doubt point out.)
