I think the problem will be Nintendo, again. The games, the franchises, the lack of mainstream game support... the problem is, it's looking like another Nintendo console.
I use a Kindle Fire, and it's the perfect size for carrying around and using around the house. Not that 10" isn't, but 7" is a perfectly usable and enjoyable size. The Fire's sales are evidence of that.
I'm sure a 15 to 20 point difference is meaningful within a culture, but I just can't see comparing people of vastly different cultures using IQ tests that I've seen. Perhaps I haven't see the right test questions - but I could totally see how a harmless puzzle about fractions could mean something totally different to someone else who doesn't think like a westerner.
I'm no expert, just a guy who had an impression about some if the test items I had.
The reason is, IQ testing is subjective horseshit. People can be taught to think in a certain way, and people in an environment who think a certain way will do better than people who are in an environment where that 'way of thinking' isn't leraned/taught/reinforced.
When I started my first engineering job, I passed all of my courses pretty handily, but I still didn't know how to think for the job. My mentor told me this, and every beginning engineer he ran into had to learn how to think in the correct way. I spent all my co-op experience thinking for what was basically Engineering IT projects, and not product design stuff.
My IQ is a 142 by my last test, but it's only because of years of tech work. If I lived on a farm all my life and never did the variety of jobs I've done, there's no way I could score that.
I think Sony's thing is doing what they do well. They know how to create a great console and a great mix of games, something Nintendo can't seem to do. And PSN is great too, right up there with Live, and better than Live on the DRM front by far.
A lot of times, sellers willl request a custom model of a product - like a super-cheap model to draw people into a sale for example. These models usually vary slightly from an existing model (maybe it prints slightly slower or has a different paper tray). apparently HP has let these get out of hand.
Still, Dodd did say that some of the reaction to SOPA and PIPA was 'over the top' — specifically, the allegations of censorship, implied by the black bar over Google search logo or the complete shutdown of Wikipedia.
"Okay, we lost but you guys are still wrong and you suck for how you did it" doesn't sound like someone who learned their lesson.
My first reaction to this article was 'wow NASA is getting two space telescopes', but immediately after that was realization of how ridiculous our military budget is.
Question is, how do we reduce it to a sane level without seriously harming the economy due to an influx of unskilled soldiers?
What would be cool is if you join forums and use your email address in the.xxx namespace and you end up getting spammed but for stuff you actually need.
I'd have a special place against the wall for Advertisers. It will difficult wiring for all the HD cameras and lights, but the end results will look great during prime-time, especially with all the pyro and dancing girls afterwards.
I'm pretty sure that scientists generally, during the years of study they devote to subjects like this, are pretty likely to cover any study-foiling scenarios you or I can drum in within the 42 seconds we spend reading and responding to posts on the internet.

I don't mean to categorize farmers. It was just a dub reference pulled out of the air.

Why can't the Patent Office do their jobs when reviewing these Bs patents the first time?
I thought it resembled John Carpenter's "The Thing".

Just in time for my line of disposable latex sleeves for Move controllers. You know, for people with sweaty hands.

Exactly, and anything that benefits companies is good to go with this court. Thomas would snore in agreement.
Yep and Haggis. Haggis trumps all the good stuff you mentioned there.

God, I'm glad I got India'd out of a job in '04.

You'll get a nice popup ad to GMO crop-friendly restaurants local to your polling place.
No, you're spending the resources on qualified people who have vaginas, some of whom are the most qualified.
we need to name the first dreadnought-class interplanetary conquest carrier after him. that should cover all aspects of in him some way

Just use baby possums instead of food.

No, Science and Engineering jobs were offshored. GE started trying it all the way back to 1992ish (when I was there).

And it can't start with How or What
