  1. Re:How is this new? on Google Seeking Patent On Ads For Street View · · Score: 1

    That's what I was thinking. CBS and New Year's Eve a few years ago, IIRC. Does prior art still count in killing a patent application?

  2. Re:Smaller than Snowcrash? on Living In Tokyo's Capsule Hotels · · Score: 1

    I am more reminded of the coffins from Gibson's Neuromancer.

    Now we only need chicks with titan blades under fingernails...

    Humm . . . I wonder what message that will send to beloved if I ask for some for Valentines Day? ;)

  6. They are not looking for endearment on Recession Turning Software Auditors Into Greedy Traffic Cops · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They may be within their rights, but they aren't endearing themselves to users; They are not looking for endearment, they are looking for a paycheck.

    Then I better use the giant pickup truck :)

    He got his done at Walter Reed (he did mention that it was an excellent facility, where he was, contrary to the news reports about other parts of the campus)

  9. They do this for other things too on Surgeon Makes Tutorial DVD For Conscious Open-Heart Surgery · · Score: 1

    My friend had a Cardiac Cath examination and got to watch the whole thing on the same monitors that the cardiologists were working from. His heart was healthy and they even sent him the video on a CD!

  10. My word! on Swiss Millionaire Hit By Record Speed Fine · · Score: 2, Funny

    How can that possibly be fair? Wait! Now I know where to speed for cheap. Shouldn't be charging me more than about $5 for the same ticket ;)

  11. Re:Yay! on World's First Integrated Twin-Lens 3D Camcorder · · Score: 1

    Just what I was thinking and I can play them on my new 3D TV that I am probably not getting for five years!

  12. Yea, right. (you hold my breath for me department) on 2010 Will Be the Year of Sandboxing Apps · · Score: 1

    'Instead of the usual top ten lists that are all-too-common with predictions for the new year, I have just one: 2010 will be the year of desktop applications handling untrusted data in sandboxed processes, and it will be about time.

    Let us all know how that works out for you this time next year, big boy?

    Which other firm do you propose administer it? The government is going to hire some firm to build and administer it and will have oversight over it. Google or not.

  17. 3:55? on Honest $10,000 SPAM · · Score: 1

    I have to go through almost four minutes of this and find out that the contest ran almost one month ago?

  18. Smaller than Snowcrash? on Living In Tokyo's Capsule Hotels · · Score: 1

    Hiro Protagonist's place sounded awful, but much better than this in Snowcrash.

  19. Re:Westerners on Living In Tokyo's Capsule Hotels · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I am pretty sure beloved boyfriend would not fit comfortably and it would have to be an interesting fantasy scene if he wanted me to join him.

  20. Re:Terrorist will just use children on Can Imaging Technologies Save Us From Terrorists? · · Score: 0

    because child porn laws are already being considered with these new machines, in the UK I believe no one under 18 can be scanned with one.

    So, lets just hand them our playbook again. Instead of looking for terrorist we are looking to naughty bits.

    We are nearly suicidal in our attempts to not offend anyone. What will it take to realize that feelings heal over time but death does not?

    They have been using children to carry bombs for ages. It isn't even a new concept.

  21. The Independent is a little dishonest here on Antarctic's First Plane, Found In Ice · · Score: 5, Informative
    A few paragraphs down in TFA:

    Mawson had hoped to stage the first flight over the Antarctic ice cap, but the plane crashed on the Australian mainland before he set sail. No one was hurt, but with the wings damaged and no time to repair them, the explorer adapted the craft to haul his sledges, adding skis to the undercarriage and a special tail-rudder.

    It was an airplane before being loaded on the boat, then it was just a cool looking tug.

    Wild guess, a professional writer wrote the story? ;)

  24. Sounds like real data to confirm the survey on Android Phone Demand Up 250%, iPhone Down · · Score: 5, Informative

    Motorola's share of smartphone purchases in the next 90 days shot up from 1% in September to 13% in December. Carton tagged the company's Droid as the reason. '[It's] the first increase for Motorola we've seen in three years,' Carton said."

    The survey could mean lots of things without this bit of confirmation data. Sales are going in the same direction as the survey.

  25. Re:Science Fiction? on Avatar Soars Into $1-Billion Territory · · Score: 1

    I just saw it last weekend, and I gotta say.. Science Fiction? Not much. Science Fantasy is more like it. Just a few things threw me off. I loved most of the movie. And for a while I believed the blue people were spiritual in the same way humans were.. in ritual and what not... But instead it turned out to be a magical spiritual world, and a collective thought borg of trees and animals.. and those that .. died? A fantastic adventure, but really just lost me as a caring viewer. I prefer things to be more rational.

    I can't wait to see it! Your description sounds like something I will like a lot and thought that's pretty much what it was going to be, fantasy. Submitted the story because I thought it was amazing this could draw so many gate receipts so quickly. Like others mentioned, a better measure would be tickets sold rather than gross receipts.
