That may not have worked in a Renault Laguna (i drove one for a while, but never tried shutting it down while driving). It has a card instead of key (which is locked in once the car is started) and a push button start/stop switch (all computer controlled).
The quads are defiantly easier to fly. Even with all the gyros the genius has it takes a bit of skill/practice to fly right (luckily they are so light you can cut power at pretty much any height, crash, and it'll usually come out unscathed, depending on the surface it hits). Downsides to the quads is they aren't as good in the wind, bigger, and not as efficient.
I fly a walkera genius (it's a tiny bit bigger http://www.helipal.com/walkera-hm-genius-cp-v2-helicopter-2-4ghz-value-edition.html ) and it handles the wind exceptionally. Wind i couldn't fly an rc plane in, the little chopper barely gets disturbed. I think it's due to being such a small surface area, plus those little motors have surprising amount of power. If any one wants to try this at home you can also buy 1 gram camera and transmitter modules http://www.fpvhobby.com/143-sub-nano-combo-set.html ; it'll only run for 8 minutes or so (not like the 30 this uk military one does) but the genius is fast and it's full 3d cyclic pitch (fly it upside down if you can handle it).
The problem is the manufacturing process isn't the very good yet, and the big rolls of e-ink they produce have lots of dead pixels in it; the manufactures then have to choose a small shape so they have less wastage (same reason oled tvs have taken so long to get here and are prohibitively expensive).
the windows 8 lumias have sold 4 million units in their first 2 months. every one knows windows phone 7 was a place holder os that's why they paid nokia so much to support it.
They simply didn't have the money to keep up with google and apple. The guy before elop wasted huge amounts of r&d, and didn't jump on the smartphone train early enough, then by the time they got back on track they were out of money.
I'm not talking about YOU using googlebots, i'm talking about google using google bots to compete with your little crappy cnc bot. When you put robots into the equation and add enough time only the very rich survive, they will take over your little cnc router business faster than you can shoot down a good idea. They are going to want to make more and more money, and because everybody else is only getting poorer, the only way to do it is through taking over new businesses. Then eventually a rich person would be able to buy a part from your little shop, or get one from a Google CNC bot at a much higher precision, lower price and quicker delivery.
Exactly. Same with my power bills i get an ok rate for 1 megawatt hour per 3 months (if i used the full amount); but once i left my electric stove on and i got charged 100 times that rate for the extra couple of kilowatts i used.
Don't get me wrong that's my personal plan as well. It's just that's hardly a good campaign for a whole country; All of the poor people unemployed watching tv, and all the rich people making products for eachother. Also bigger corporations will force you out, how will you be able to compete with all the googlebots (maybe your a millionaire and can buy 50, but they can have millions with much better programming).
Dr Max for prime minister, and in 10 years I'll give everybody monday off, and even more days off after that.
Replace a lot of menial labor with government bought robots, but still have businesses pay the human employees
Use the large pool of machine replaced people to help in the other sectors (companies can submit work of an easy enough level that average people can do it from home; like how nasa uploads images of mars for the public to go over (some courses could be used for the more complex jobs and smarter workers)).
Work on replacing the rest of the jobs, giving people more time off, and move humans into supervisor/creative type roles.
That is how touch screens on a desktop would be used (probably less than 15 minutes an hour though). Your still going to have a mouse and keyboard and you will do most of your input from there, but occasionally you'll want to rotate a map, or skip the music track, and touch could be easier or quicker.
No one but these stupid reporters (and maybe you) are suggesting that you only use the touch screen. Mouse and keyboard will still be there but occasionally you could use the touchscreen for something (for example your standing next to your desk and you want to change the music track; you could either grab the mouse locate the pointer move it to next and click, or just prod the screen). When apple does it then all the reporters will figure out how it should be used.
It can be counter productive if you change an average joe consumer and worker into a criminal. It's all to easy to seriously fuck some ones life up with courts or jail, and once that has happened they are a lot more likely to turn to real crime for survival.
But it's so much easier to catch users than dealers. Dealers know all these tricks, they change phones and addresses all the time; users are much more predictable, and the cops want to be seen doing something (sure it probably only makes the situation worse, but that just means their budget gets upgraded).

Because it has all the specs and videos. I don't work there its just where i got my stuff from.

I Found a nice video of a mini cp (also from walkera, very similar to the genius) setup with a mini camera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtL2kqQhEfA&playnext=1&list=PL5DD8DBE964939570&feature=results_video

I'm curious as to why it's not a real PC. Is it because it has a mouse, keyboard, usb slots, hdmi, x86 chip, and can manage an iphone?

i don't think the idea is to try and replicate what you can already buy cheaply, more so you can put a bottle opener or a solar panel on the back.
270% up
My nokia stock has increased in value almost 3x since i bought it.

Ok so my campaign goes something like this.

or the price of an ipad 3g 64gb with case and keyboard.
Very true.
Why didn't you tell all the iphone developers that before they broke the system.
"black people smoke less weed than white people. " oh yeah i remember that study it came from my ASS.

I think the real reason the US is opposing it, is because they already own this internet. http://rt.com/usa/news/surveillance-spying-e-mail-citizens-178/
windows phone 8 is doing surprisingly well, a lot better than actual windows 8.
