I'm just not sure what choice we have. I could definitely use another search engine because I'm never going to be searching for anything that really needs or uses the full reach of their "largest search engine"
If the anti-laser technology becomes more researched and practiced eventually it becomes a commodity on weapons and we need to move on to something else. That's just the way this cycles works.
Seems to me they might be able to get around the ruling because they were focusing on nukes shot back at earth. Now maybe because it's not in the spirit of the Cold War they'll throw them up there. Who knows, there may already be some floating up there.
Board readers and crawlers come with the territory when operating a search engine. It's going to send stuff out all over the place on the itarwebs to try to find what you are looking for.
I think some of the problem is simply because of Scrabulous' popularity. Although it's pretty much the same game with a similar name. That's the definition of a trademark dispute.
But "affordable" wasn't in the title of the article, whereas practical was. Plus something that's not widely affordable can hardly be a practical solution can it?
We seem to be in the minority but I think it's astounding the amount of things that we have today and take for granted that NASA is responsible for putting together. I hope as many things come in the next 50 too.
Does that mean that if someone were to crack the source code essentially of the system that one of these vendors use, they could hypothetically crack the websites of all the banks that use said vendor? Scary to think about.
Is this the kind of thing that's going to be deployed to scout out rooms for SWAT teams or Army fire teams? With the limited flight time, it's nearly useless to just throw up in the air for aerial surveillance.

Be fair. It's another planet in the kind of detail that most people on Earth have never seen. Granted the topography itself isn't very interesting, but it's Mars for God's sake.
I don't have a problem with this. I think it's great that other countries are getting up there. We don't have the money to get up there right now, but eventually we can get back into it and maybe make some sort of ISS or something effort ot go to other planets. I think this is a big step for our future of seeing or colonizing (or mining) other planets in the solar system.
This seems to be a double edged sword as many have said before me. I don't go on myspace, but the fact that they joined gives this some power in the market now. I'm hoping eventually this service will extend to just about all manner of social network sites because I'd really like it. However, sharing information on a site that has been hacked before like myspace can be pretty dangerous methinks. At least I know my information is safe for now...
Yeah, that's a good point and with the ceiling for malware constantly expanding, the percentage would change.
That is, unless Google is acquiring the same percentage of malware that is coming out in perpetuity. So for all the new malware that comes out every second, Google gets 2%of it.. I can't imagine that's possible, so it seems like most of the malware is probably other places. The only scary part is that there's so much malware out there that 2% represents a pretty significant number of viruses.
Unless this is supposed to be the new wave of tablet PCs, for just word processing. That said, I agree with you that it seems pointless. I mean, try running a few aps at the same time with that little power. You're going to pull your hair out soon enough.
Yeah, I agree, I can't really figure it out. It seems like it's saying that things that are in wide practice and use or the only way to do a certain thing (ie storing wishlists in a dbase) are considered to be unpatentable.
Yeah, that's a good point. With safer places (relative to Venus) like the moon and Mars, those seem to be the way to go. heck, I think those places are even closer to earth too. That's some pie in the sky theory someone came up with..
Yeah, i agree and I'd liken it to the digital switch for television. It's been a staple in many homes for years, especially tech savvy homes, which have been using the technology for 5-6 years (I think..) nevertheless, the transition isn't coming fully until next year. And even then people don't want to take up the new input because they don't understand it or aren't used to it.
I agree, there are some similarities. And the idea of piggybacking on the success of facebook is certainly plausible, now that they're turning down bids from the likes of MS. That doesn't make it legal though. And it's quite suspicious, I don't think that this will be settled on studiVZ side. Unless it's a European judge with a thorn in his side about american anti-trust issues and facebook (and myspace) controlling the market.
The end of the movie and the demise of the Heath Ledger left me wondering about who would be in the next movie as villians. IIRC, Nolan is signed on for 3, so it'll be interesting to see what comic book foe he brings out of the woodwork to do battle with Bale. Any thoughts?
That's pretty troublesome. Especially now that the summer Olympics are coming around. That means the athletes will be forced to perform outside and that their fitness is going to suffer. I'm glad to see the the Olympics coming to Beijing but the conditions appear to be less than ideal.

They just can't compete with Google. They are a giant and a near monopoly in the search business.

True but the amount of fuels that would be burned in order to get there to examine more fuels defeats the purpose doesn't it?

Where does tech crunch get the funds and the in-house minds to pull something like this off? Seems to me they may not be able to.
