Isn't the point of the kindle to display static content really well, thus minimizing battery consumption? With games being developed for the Kindle, I can't help but wonder what that does do to the batter life expectancy of the device. On top of that, the Kindle has a monochrome screen - it'd be like shelling out $259 for a game boy all over again.
Add on the other restrictions, such as no VOIP or no generic reader software, and the whole endeavor seems kinda pointless.
I'm sure they can afford to throw out their broken wii balance board and buy a new on the event that one breaks down.
All they really need to do is to make sure the electronics does not interfere with the patients or any other critical equipment, it using Bluetooth and all.
There was a time when intel indeo and codecs like that were so widely used. I've come across them again recently and could only remark how obsolete they've become.
How about if you lose your connection to the cloud, you lose everything. This all boils down to control. If you own your Hard Drive, you own your data.
As the many examples in history shows, exchanging a little control for convenience will eventually leave you at the mercy of the software's owners.
Girl gamers?
From my experience, they are pretty spontaneous when it comes to getting together and playing party games. While my sister's friends are staying over for a week, they literally played Mario Party non-stop for hours at a time.
Perhaps the wii is not as attractive to us teenage guys, but they do have a market in party games and casual gamers.
The topic of the year-long research project conducted by the workers is "The effect of sustained Internet pornography on the libido of the typical office worker".
All will be clarified by a press release later in the week.
Not having dynamic content both increase web page load times (as every action will now require a post-back) as well as bandwidth costs (more stuff now have to come from to the server to your page).
Slashdot alone will fall on it knees if dynamic content is not allowed.

The last thing we need in the military is a pacifist drone that becomes a Conscientious objector on the battlefield. Letting machines decide for themselves is a bad idea, what if they behave unpredictably?

And people should ban racing games because it promotes speeding. etc.
Soon enough we'll be arresting people for looking at baby diaper commericals because they depict topless babies. Babies are children too!

The future seems to be H264/AAC.
You see, the extra r in different exactly cancels out the missing r in correct, so the sentence is technically correct. Moving on...

They should just create a new stream in Fraud Science. I'm sure people will be flocking to it.

Think web clips in Gmail for Office - where they will scan your word documents and serve up links pertaining to pancake batter.
Will it accept adblock?

If a user will fast-click through a EULA, he will fast-click through any page that will install additional software by default.
It's unsafe, but that's what the 5 page long EULA has conditioned the vast majority of users to do.
There we go again...
So that's why I get this "iPhone configuration utility" on my PC when I don't even have an iPhone.
Obviously Apple has learned that installing software without user consent will only earn a slap on the wrist from the users at the very best.
Be careful of what you wish for...

if this is taken seriously. Didn't the Dove commercial show that anyone can be "modified" to become a superstar?
All movies pretty much would have to have this notice tagged at the bottom right corner of the screen, as well as all advertisement posters.
I won't be surprised if this is not repealed soon.
RAID 0 does not offer any redundancy. Just a performance increase from reading simultaneously from 2 drives.
Only if you get bitten by it, that is.
"Well honey, would you like to see a live demonstration?" would be unwise to say to a child.
Pardon me... but you're describing the process for making coal.
Oil is made by millions of tiny microorganisms. It would be hard to shovel fossilized lumps of wood into the car now would it?

Should keep in mind that, once something goes on the Internet, it is on the Internet forever.
Double goes for porn.
Interesting this article might be, I am not sure if I am really comfortable putting batteries stuffed to the gills with shit in my notebook.
Perhaps they'd refine the stuff a little bit first?
