I think the real issue that people don't bring into consideration is the likelihood of the timing.
Even if the time it takes for intelligent life to form was somehow precisely 13.8 Billion years and it happened to form in a trillion other planets in our observable universe all roughly within the same 5 Million years;
It would be incredibly unlikely for any one of those civilizations to reach inter-galactic travel (FTL or otherwise) and expand out of their solar system and by chance be reaching directly to Earth and arrive or communicate with us during the last 10,000 years.
Perhaps even more likely that it would have to be the last 2-3,000 years to not have been considered Gods.
I feel like the context given to the test subjects would greatly affect the outcome of this experiment.... For instance, if I were told that I would be testing fire safety equipment, I would probably feel the need to follow the robot even into the wrong room. Especially if I knew it were being tested, my curiosity would probably get the best of me anyway and I would feel compelled to follow the robot regardless since I knew I wasn't in real danger.
This is great for the world and people getting together and carpooling is wonderful for the environment, however as a business model it falls into a much smaller category. After finding a carpool group that works people will likely stop using the app and just pay each other and exchange information since going to work is pretty much an every day occurrence. This effectively will cut out the middle-man for any really successful matches.
I don't agree... with the proper graphics setup, an 8k desktop environment at something like 80" in a wide format would be an amazing experience for productivity.... there are already tons of professions and enthusiasts that use 6+ monitors arranged in a grid to display lots of information or use many different applications. This just eliminates the bezels. People think it's all about the pixel density... this is more about stretching your screen without losing resolution. One huge curved 8k display would be my dream working in dispatch I have 2-5 websites, email, proprietary software, mileage program, and notes all crammed onto 3 1080p screens and I'm suffocating.
Its not like the OTA update is just waiting on everyone's phone. This entire article is based on the percentage of people with the newer phones.
I have a Note 3 here, 2.3GHz 3GB RAM, Where's my Lollipop?
There is a radio button option right next to the comment field that lets you choose if the comment post on your facebook wall. So if you chose that I assume you're facebook friends wouldn't all be poking everything you comment on the internet about.
That would be way too logical... give us a..... choice? what would we complain about then?
this happens every time developers try to be progressive. It's like why don't they just make it an option? or a simple UI plugin to change it back.
I built a custom hutch for my 3 23.6" ASUS 1080p LED Monitors (10,000,000:1 contrast) that's 70.8" diagonal screen real estate. 5760x1080 resolution.
as you can see it's not a gaming rig, gaming is not very practical for multiple monitors. Multitasking is the real venture here and it's a great help with that.

hard to see how thin they are but it looks like cardboard from the back because they're all http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j353/rpretzel87/2010-10-18_12-03-39_953.jpg

why in the actual fuck are you ranting about this here.... have you nothing better to do, nowhere else to express your hate?

"millions of potential new subscribers" to the subscription-free service?
