Yes, but you get the value-add of Comcast's wonderful way with customers. As a former comcast customer and current Clearwire investor I cringe at the association.
Avionics for small aircraft have taken a quantum leap and are still progressing pretty strongly. Looks at the glass panel stuff and portable GPS systems from garmin.
Also, there is research and goals in the personal air vehicle arena:
Used to work in a medical tech company and my mother in law came up with the same idea. I did a patent search and found a pretty damning one that someone was sitting on. Didn't go farther than that.
My Grandmother used to be quite forgetful and would multi-dose if she and others weren't careful about how her medication was arranged.
I so agree with the cheap flea market analogy. I've been looking for a memory card and a battery for my Olympus camera. If I hadn't looked at a fan website that showed pics of all the knockoff/useless batteries I would not have known that ALL of the batteries listed on ebay were of the cheap junk variety. Most listed by sellers in China. One listing was for a blatant Olympus OEM battery counterfeit that was also revealed on the olympus fan site. Also all of the memory cards were of a slower (xD "M" cards) variety as well. The wording of the ads was all so similar I wonder how many are the same organization.
I'm sure photography attracts more than the usual level of this but it was a bit of an eye opening experience for me.
Here's a little light reading for you. It takes more than a quick scan of the numbers - that is a shallow analysis. Unless you had your head in the sand you'd know that it was a bipartisan effort in cutting the military back. I know that doesn't make a good zinger, sorry.
Gutting the military??? I was in the military and I got out when Bush I and Cheney and many others R and D were reaping the peace dividend prior to Gulf I. Base closures, major troop reductions, blah blah blah. The commies were gone and the economy was it. I can't say it was the wrong call either. Not sure what you are talking about pinning this on Clinton.
While this op/ed piece is interesting and possible it is one guys opinion. Let the scientists work through the questions. I live in the area, sport fish / crab out of Newport. Too many people are jumping the gun for political advantage/defense I guess.
We don't know that it isn't new yet.
This is another case of science getting headlines way too early.
People still want and need bonuses and rewards, but I've found if the management thinks of money as a bribe then they think they are entitled to intrude on their people. Consider money the reward for success, not the price for someone's life-hours.
SAS sounds like it has the idea for sustainability in knowledge based work. Respect the people with 16-20 years schooling and years of experience, the ones you worked so hard to recruit and interview. Require results and give them responsibility and authority. And the icing on the cake - realize that smart people have intellectual needs as well as personal and family needs.

Definitely a case of "buyer beware".

I don't think you have a leg to stand on. Your guys are doing it all themselves. I laugh in your general AC direction.
