I believe it is there to help skin heal faster, with a scar, after injury. Faster, but scarred, healing is something we decided was more useful to survival than flawless regeneration (see Salamanders). Skin provides protection from infection, having that heal quick and dirty was very important before antibiotics and antiseptics.
I suspect it is part of the scarring/regeneration trade off. This collagen scaffolding action possibly helps skin heal faster after a cut, the trade off is wrinkles. Slower healing skin, but doing so blemish-free was not likely a good survival trait when a break in the skin barrier would increase chance of infection.
With modern medicine, infection risk might be abated by antibiotics/antiseptics.
This might also be awesome for burn victims (assuming you can keep infection at bay)
We need things like Google Glass to become popular everywhere. If everyone is wearing recording devices on their daily business, then you won't need flash mobs.
My Father, a sheep farmer, would always be really annoyed if a fox hunt ever approached his land, and would go out and stop them entering his fields. He told me this was because sheep in distress could potentially absorb or abort the lambs under stress caused by all the commotion.
He was also a lecturer in Agricultural Science in UCD. I don't know if this information comes from farming anecdotes, or has a scientific background. Possibly both?
Or use Knox? My Samsung comes with it and I've found it very useful for exactly this. 95% of what I do on my phone is innocuous. For the 5% of the activities that I might want to keep secret/secure (banking typically) I access the secure portion of the phone for it.
Dunno, some of us work a lot and have very little down time throughout the year. There's nothing wrong with looking forward to 2 weeks of uninterrupted gaming. Especially if they are going to disrupt social (online) gaming between friends. For many of us there's little/no distinction between having friends over to visit, and playing an MMO with friends on Ventrilo/Steam/Skype.
Even some people who are around people day in / day out might just like the quiet time playing a single player (always online...) game.
What if they disrupted the TV broadcast? Imagine some families who'd actually have to talk to eachother!?
Oh, I get you! We should only put locks on specific areas of our house. Leave the front door unlocked, but perhaps have a lock on the bedroom and bathroom. After all, there should be no real reason why the contents of your fridge should be kept secure, and if your local supermarket was allowed send in staff members to people's houses at random (or targeted if they notice you haven't been shopping with them lately) to check where you have been shopping recently and what you have been buying, so they can deliver a better experience to you in future, perhaps send you some targeted advertising at a future date.
What is the cost to the user of having their communications intercepted, banking details stolen etc etc.
That's like saying that putting locks on your doors has an added cost of you requiring more time every day getting in and out because you have to take time to turn a key. It also means that local corporations can't send people by to inject "value added" services into your home without your consent! Are you ready to accept locks on your doors?
I know I may sound like sound like a defensive fanboy, but they said "introduced bluray and dvd (were those sony first?), and also brought out innovations such as second screen etc"
That like denying that the iPod was innovative, or the iPhone, just because it wasn't first. Does an innovation require no prior existence of anything similar? Can version 2 be an innovation? Can I be innovative by creating a better more or more efficient coffee machine? It might not be the first ever coffee machine, but it might have improvements that make it more popular than the current ones.
Are you being just a little overzealous in finding something bad about Sony? Why work so hard when there's so many easier failings of theirs to pick from and rehash?
This can be easily observed by anyone with a water faucet. A small trickle of water can bee seen to draw into a thinner strand and eventually break into droplets as the leading flow accelerates towards the earth.
I remember a recent Episode of Bones, where they totally misquoted Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. This really annoyed me. It's one thing to have your wonder computer zoom and enhance, but there's suspending belief and propagating a complete falsehood.
There have been similar instances in this year's season of Dr Who, where they use a blanket of oxygen to protect the earth from burning up to a massive solar flare, when we all know the exact opposite would happen, or the hatchling from the moon immediately laying a moon sized egg.
Is it a car powered by gas under pressure, or is it hydrogen fuel-cell, where the gas is catalysed with Oxygen to produce electricity? How is it so horribly inefficient, given how we already know how horribly inefficient combustion engines are? Is it simply a case that, no matter how compressed you get the gas, you have not compressed it to liquid levels?
Most cyclists already do this. There are tablets you drop into your water bottle to up the mineral and salts versus even tap water. Adding them to this bottle is a trivial problem.
You could have a line in your review for games that goes something like this "We have been given full permission to post our review of this game prior to release" for games that have no embargo.
When that statement is missing, you know there is embargo in place.

Late-comer thanks to Christmas, but can you tell me whether RoboToilet comes with twitter integration and other social networking services?

I'm going go to with Rorqual.

I think you have accidentally uncovered their plans to include this tech in their secret flying cars!

Does it also come with an Aloe strip?

There's a difference between nearly missed, and a near miss. A collision is nearly missed.

Someone should invent a suit the rider could wear that distils the sweat for reuse. A suit for distilling sweat, or a sweatsuit as I like to call it.
I wonder what rating Madden and FIFA games will get.
What they need is a Canary.

Don't they do something like that in True Detective?
