That kind of makes sense. If somebody pulled me out of what I do now and put a point-and-click interface between me and my work, I'd get upset too. They should hire people from the gaming community.
Bill Gates never actually made the 640K comment; it is falsely attributed to him. The other two quotes are accurate and very relevant to this conversation.
Unless I'm dyslexic, the third quote is accurate too -- I see it attributed to "Some guy"
Therefore we should not even consider buying an American aircraft at all. How do we know it can't simply be disabled with the flip of a switch, leaving us defenseless?
I bought a Galaxy Tab 7, used it for a few months and ended up selling it. It's in the wrong place between tablets and smart phones. I always end up leaving it at home. Or I take my laptop or netbook.
I've played with the device quite a bit (I'm planning to buy one) and I think the Galaxy Note II would be about the limit for devices that need to fit into trouser pockets and can be held to the ear without looking like a clown.
Unless future fashion changes to accommodate "handsets" and handsets become more about the functions other than voice calls.
There are some parts of the old ship that most definitely should NOT be replicated on the new one. Like the lifeboats. And the engines. And the bridge (and its navigation equipment and iceburg detection systems) And the kitchens
And the iceberg itself. I don't think I'll be comfortable in a recreation of a scenario that ends in people freezing to death.
Does that mean they strip my life's story of just my name, phone number, address and other similar identifying information or do they go so far as to obfuscate other pieces of information like hometown, company, college etc? Without that, the data is still probably enough to narrow me down to a single individual.
I don't put up a lot of things on Facebook, but if Google pulls keywords from my GMail to decide my preferences and sells *that* as data, I'd be very, very scared.
They will find a way to sell it eventually. The data is worth so much money that the temptation is just too high.
The only way out is see is to make the data availability to marketers a *service*, rather than a product. Do marketers really want your *personal* information or is what they really want the ability to target advertising to you based on your demographics, interests and behaviors? Doing the latter does not necessarily mean you have to possess the former.
What if Google or Facebook only provided their customers (i.e. the marketers, not us) with a query interface? Such as, "tell me how many people with such and such demographic attributes who bought item x also bought item y". And then provide another interface to tell Google/Facebook to "show this ad to people with these demographic attributes who bought item x and...." etc. This way Google/Facebook holds the private data and the marketers get most of what they want. Perhaps that's still evil, but it is a lesser evil.

That would require real patients or a dummy/model to practice on. The latter are surprisingly expensive.
What if one 3D prints the models? If we want to animate the dummy, heck, let's go ahead and 4D print it.
What on earth is national porn? (outside of .jp, that is)
Unless you're printing into the past and future, how is this 4D?

Or send your shol'vas on a tangent?
Indeed. It's an OCD must-have.
The Nexus family is a completely different story. They're a joy to hold -- they (especially the 10) fit smugly into your hand. Feels light too.

writing this with the stylist. Way better than typing.
Ouch. But I do agree with you.

Or is that what they're doing already?
