Perhaps nice in theory, at first glance. Take into consideration the following: 1. Person "A" slapping person "B" might be a slight annoyance, while "B" slapping "A" may cause permanent damage. 2. The people involved may be hundreds if not thousands of miles apart. 3. Who determines if something someone said was slanderous (already covered by law), honest opinion (protected by free speech), or bullying?
There was a Stargate episode about that; the one with the shrinking force field around the town. No one noticed it shrinking because they'd grown to rely on their wearable internet for their memory, and the records were being changed.
How about ads in L4D2 about the new zombie flick coming out? Or the new Benelli hunting rifle? I think carefully selected advertising COULD be a good thing.
If advertisers (or product placers) start paying to get their products placed, or moreso, if you see ads before the game starts, will the price of games go down?
Nope. Remember when cable TV was new? One of the big selling point was that there were no commercials. Why would there be commercials, when you're paying for access? Well once Cable became mainstream a couple channels started sneaking in a few commercials, then a few more, then commercials on cable became standard. They get you to pay to view their advertising.

How soon before we get folding-paper DNA model artwork?
There was some in TFA.

They just want to make sure that the God particle is the Allah particle.
You could try placing it in a Bag of Holding ;-)
Holding without charge?
Maybe it only spins when it's cold enough to be superconducting...

Just wait a decade and they won't have to be chilled. Technology marches on...
