"These distortions may explain why such batteries ultimately wear down. Knowing more about the process may help researchers develop longer lasting, and perhaps much smaller, batteries in the future."
Perhaps I'm slow but wouldn't battery companies and researchers already know this given the rather long time these batteries have been around?
It seems akin to saying, to use the car analogy, "See how this oil breaks down over time and doesn't lubricate as well, studying this researchers may find out ways to extend engine life."
Seriously? Her criticisms rely on the assumption that they skipped a 'standard step' and didn't delve into it in their paper? Who's being the presumptuous one now?
That stood out to me as well. We used to call that the ice beast. ICEBST (It can easily be shown that...) to skip over the standard steps in math proofs. Though this is science and given the claims it needs to be able to stand up to this kind of scrutiny.
Actually no, you don't need a typical wifi spot. Though you do have to have a jailbroke iPad. You load one of the several connection sharing apps like MyWi on it which turns it into a wireless router your EyeFi can connect to.
Not sure all the details but another app allow you to load the received pics directly so you end of having the iPad be a remote viewer for your camera pics.
do more with the Honeycomb tablet than an iPad and it will be cheaper
While there are certainly cheaper tablets out there running Android in the 7" form, I'm guessing their utility is much less than the 10" iPad as in, at least reviews I've seen, the closest competitor is the Galaxy Tablet and it is more expensive actually than an iPad.
There are also the Eyefi SD cards out there that use wifi and will transmit the pics to a storage device. I recently saw a video from a professional photog that used an iPad wirelessly (and a bit of software) to show the client the pics he was taking right as he was taking them. Being a bigger screen you can also see how well the shot was captured and details the small camera screen can't show you easily.
Though seriously, to me it's about value as well. For a small game like the mentioned for only a buck, I've gotten hours of gameplay out of it. Likewise a good online multiplayer you can get numerous hours of gameplay as well. What I don't like are the story games where you are done in just a few hours. Not the best entertainment for your dollar. Likely the reason is that single time through games are expensive to make and don't have as much volume in sales. HL2 may be an exception.
You missed part (2) of the very first paragraph of the first link. He was a citizen by bloodline, regardless of where physically he was born, just like Obama.
Ah, one of my favorite thought exercises in elementary school.
"If you try to go from point A to point B in a straight line, you'll never reach there. Because to go to point B you have to first go to the midpoint. In order to go to the midpoint, you have to go half the distance to it (1/4 total distance to B). In order to go half of the half, you have to go half of that....infinitude.
In many states (Including North Carolina), Emminent domain cannot be used to transfer property from one private entity to another. It can only be used for "Public Use" projects, i.e. roads, railroads, utility cooridors, etc.
While "Emminent Domain" may not be used, other means can by the gov. There was a case just a short while ago before the SCOTUS about private takings and such. Basically they seized the property so a developer could use it. They justified it by stating it would generate more tax revenue.
"The Court, on a 5 to 4 vote, held that a city's plan to condemn homes in a residential neighborhood and give the acreage to a private developer for $1 for a 99-year lease to create an upscale development did not violate the Fifth Amendment's requirement that takings of property be for "a public purpose." (Of course, as provided by the Fifth Amendment, the government had to provide "just compensation" for the taking.
Or just get a networked BR player like the Sony BDP-S370 (many like this). Does all the streaming, DNLA, as well as BR/DVD. Then you don't need Apple TV for anything.
As difficult as it was for the FCC and everyone to move to digital and get us up to 1080p, I'm doubting we'll ever move beyond it.
If 480i was good enough for most people and the government had to force the change, me thinks 1080p will have an even more difficult time of being replaced. Let alone the airwaves being able to handle such a large signal.
House insurance is required in many places and likely just lumped in to his monthly bill to be put in escrow until paid. So paying for insurance on his house in no way points to this being a forgotten bill.
But I believe having this "computer" in the living room defeats the purpose of these small, lightweight boxes that do media. Sure we can all invest in a 300-400 pc that will do all that but it's UI won't be as polished and it costs more than a PS3.
Or a network enabled BluRay player. Plays all the regular net streaming apps (Netflix, Pandora, BB on demand, Vudu, etc) as well as content on your network. (Plus the obvious media). The only thing it doesn't have is Hulu. And these type of BR players are fairly inexpensive.
FF native sync would be fine for those forced to use IE sometimes if they could bring back that IE Tab add-on. I have to use IE for some sites at work and that used to work great while never leaving my FF window.
Smart move on the car locked in garage. I knew a guy that left his garage door slightly up for heat escape one night and a thief snuck under the door and used the guys tools to steal the car entertainment center.
Obviously he shouldn't have left his garage door up like that but even then...

Nope, see my lifehacker link above. No web connection is necessary. Though you do need a jailbroken iPad which is dead simple these days.

So you missed out on some of the most popular and sometimes thought provoking entertainment of the last decade. Congrats. What else don't you like.
Angry Birds says no.

What? I just walked right through the middle of it in Google Maps. Pretty cool, now I don't have to visit. Take that English Heritage society!!

Isn't punching in directions on your dash-mounted GPS device the same as texting?
A safe investment would be in weapons mfg. Either personal firearms or gov contractors. Fear of the unknown would drive those through the roof.
1. Find aliens
2. Invest in weapons firms
3. ???
4. Profit!
There is no need for a 3rd step any longer.

Yep, I have some internal corporate sites that only can use IE. For the rest I use FF. Having a cross browser is great for that.
This would not be an issue though if we still had that gem called IE Tab add-on for FF.
