On that note, cancer has been cured a thousand times in mice. Still no cure for human cancer though. If scientists were allowed to act like Nazis and experiment on humans without regard to ethical concerns, we'd of course have cures for nearly every disease imaginable. Then again it's nice not to be Nazis.
But in this one case, maybe they could speed-track human trials and experiments for baldness...? Pretty please...?
If they added a small solar panel to it then the device would never need recharging. I remember seeing a Korean prototype e-reader with a solar panel. I don't understand why no one has released a commercial e-ink device with a solar panel. Make it calculator size so when it sits on a table during the day or even the night it will charge up.
They should put a solar panel on it so it never needs charging. Even a small, calculator size panel would be enough to negate the need to ever charge it.
Yep, you've hit the nail on the hard. An old quote of Steve Jobs has him pointing out that in the PC industry, with so many competitors that all have so much experience, it's impossible to get a product out that's twice as good as a competitor's. And even if you manage 1 and a half as good, competitors will have something out just as good in six months. So Apple's strategy to stay ahead is to literally monopolize the supply chain of new and innovative technology by including it into their most popular products. It's genius, really, and it requires a huge amount of foresight to determine what technologies and products will end up being popular.
Now that HP's splitting up are they ever going to release a refresh to their TM2 convertible tablet PC? I was really hoping to buy one for med school, but the TM2's bump on the bottom and dull screen keep me away. Unfortunately the TM2 is the only convertible not priced at extortionate levels. I WANT A REFRESH DARN IT!
I just want an HP TM2 refresh. Now that's a *real* Tablet PC, and it's the only one not sold at an extortionate price. I wonder if we'll ever get a refresh now that HP is splitting up its business.
Few things you need to understand. Wireless is different from wireline. Wireless experiences 40%+ profit margins, but is temporarily depressed due to Verizon's expansive massive LTE buildout. Wireline has lower ROI, which is why Verizon has sold off so many of their lines, but it's still a huge revenue and profit generator.
Maybe, but not in terms of improving the drivetrain, which is pathetically old and inefficient in current EVs (right now all they do is take out a gasoline engine and replace it with a giant battery), or encouraging higher capacity batteries.
No one's doing that though. 42,000 people strike and all you hear about are a handful of minor incidents. You don't worry about the numerous illegal acts Verizon has committed towards its own customers to squeeze billions in revenue from them over the last decade? Phantom illegal $2.00 charges, ignoring state and municipal buildout requirements, lobbying officials for favorable legislation, completely opaque 2 year cell phone contracts priced the same whether or not you bring your own phone? Perhaps you should read into what these strikers actually did, and how many of their acts were truly "criminal" in nature.
Why are Americans so intensely obsessed with groveling before wealthy masters? Are they all masochists? The libertarian morons who defend Verizon and mod the anti-union drivel make me despair at the state of the American psyche. Full of the stupidest morons that walk the earth. In many ways it's probably a good thing China will overtake the US within a decade and afterwards become the dominant superpower. The red necks, hicks, social isolationists, and religious cultists/libertarians who are intent on destroying everything and everyone around them all in the name of "purity" don't deserve the great things the true hard workers of this nation's past made possible.
42,000 people and you hear about a few incidents. Sounds like most other sociopathic and brainwashed Americans, you're just looking for a reason to blame the workers and coddle the corporations.
The land-line unit has managed to survive against the cable ISPs because Verizon invested in FIOS. Now that Verizon ended FIOS investment and started laying off workers, in non-FIOS territories it's losing subs. That's what's actually been happening. Not to mention Verizon leverages FIOS to extend fiber to its cell towers.
An isolated forever alone libertarian retard like yourself would never know what it's like to stand tall with a group of people against a monstrous corporation that wants to lower the quality of your life.
u do understand that today drug prices in the US are making up for the discounts outside the US, right?
The reason the drug companies are still taking the huge risks they are is because in the US they get to make their money back. The rest of the world is pretty much just riding along because of the profits made in the US.
This is a common lie repeated ad nauseam during the healthcare debates. Only on slashdot would such tripe be modded up. But you know it's a lie. In fact I'm fairly certain you were involved in those same debates and people called you out numerous times. I'm not sure what psychosis you have to ignore the truth and spout the same garbage over and over again.
So because non-union shmucks are losing out to their corporate masters, you'd rather the union members lose out? What kind of a jealous monster are you?

I am always amused how "polite" white people act like servants towards every woman.

Not to mention Engadget previewed a $200 7-inch tablet just yesterday.
If they put solar panels on e-ink devices they would never need to be recharged. A calculator sized solar panel wouldn't even add $10 to the cost.
They should put a solar panel on it so it never needs charging. Even a small, calculator size panel would be enough to negate the need to ever charge it.
Because no one wants to get hit with a lawsuit by women in a legal system where a woman can destroy a man's life with just a simple accusation.

Really? Because I've seen that joke used at least 1000 times on forums EVERYWHERE in just the last few weeks.

Because it's finally the end of the Jobs-Gates era.
Which is exactly why they didn't want it to have HDMI out. The Sega Nomad had VGA out and I'm sure it ate into Genesis sales.

Yeah I'm sure the CEOs don't feel entitled to earning millions while driving corporations like HP into the ground.

Verizon is experiencing record profits. Can't shoulder it? Why are you a sociopathic liar? That's what my mind can't shoulder.
So because non-union shmucks are losing out to their corporate masters, you'd rather the union members lose out? What kind of a jealous monster are you?
