Recall that F=ma, a=F/m. Assuming that you have a negative mass, acceleration for an object will have to be in the reverse of the force excerted. You push a -m object left, it accelerates right.
Now, also recall that force of gravity Fg m1*m2 at any given radius. Now, assuming that m1 and m2 are positive, you will get a positive force, which means towards each other.
But now let's throw in one negative mass object. You'll then get a negative Fg, right? Which you'd think would mean that the objects fly apart, but remember that a negative mass object will go in the opposite direction of a force that's applied. That means that the negative mass object will be move towards the positive mass object, and the positive mass object will move away from the negative mass object. These will cancel out if the masses are the same. However, if, for example, you were on the earth with a small negative-mass object (let's give it a mass of 1kg, and it's on the surface), you would have:
Fg=-9.8 N
"dropping" the -1kg mass would result in the earth accelerating away from the negative mass at virtually 0m/s/s, while the -1kg mass would accelerate TOWARDS the earth at a rate of 9.8m/s/s
That said, the -1kg mass would indeed fall DOWN.
Using the same math and logic, it would follow that:
If the negative mass object is less massive than the positive, the objects would be pulled together.
If the negative mass object is more massive than the positive, the objects would fly apart.
If the negative mass object were more massive than the positive mass object, the objects would fall apart
If the masses are the same, no acceleration would be observed.
In a vacuum you only lose heat via radiation, and you know that's pretty slow, since Vacuum flasks can keep things hot for a really long time.
Except that you would freeze when your bodily fluids quickly boil thanks to the near-zero pressure. The gases have to get their energy from somewhere...
It's probably too late for me to tell anyone, but beware of these. I have one of similar design, and while the drive itself may be less fragile, you can easily damage the USB port with these guys. I've got two USB ports with the middle plastic piece broken off that can attest to that.
Right now there are over 22,000 search results, the highest I've seen it was 300,000+ search results, meaning overall YouTube appear to have silenced over well over 1/3 million videos (and probably then removed most of them).
YouTube recently changed the messages users received to "This video contains an audio track that has not been authorized by WMG. The audio has been disabled."

Chances are, the MP uses Windows. Record a letter to your MP in sound format and attach a rudmentary linux DRM to it. Email it to the MP.
This way, the MP could only listen to the letter by breaking the laws that would be introduced by Bill C-61.
It's probably more work than it's worth (as if the MP would actually listen to it), but it would be fun to show the MP what life would be like for us after C-61.
I doubt that they actually intend the final setup to be the way it is in the video. Notebooks are replacing laptops, and I don't know about you, but I'd kill for a laptop with a multi-touch screen where the keyboard is (combined with a proper OS). Think Optimus, but the whole thing is a screen. With multi-touch screens becoming popular (and therefore cheap), and operating systems like this demo, this MAY just work.

Did NeXT sell to Apple, or did Apple sell to NeXT? Consider what Apple has become before you answer that.

What's this? DRM causes massive amounts of consumer frustration while doing little to protect the rights of the property owner?
Huh.

I highly doubt the PCs could win the next election, since they don't even exist as a federal party anymore. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Canada
