A ton of these companies' employees live in the suburbs! I've never in my life heard of an employee living in the city and commuting out of it to a suburb to go to work at a mega corporation. They live in the suburbs! It's a shorter drive with less traffic! What kind of idiot would live in some dumpy, crime infested, noisy, overpriced city with no parking when their work is outside the city? That is quite possibly the stupidest thing I've heard today.
Yeah, Google should move to the inner city so their employees can drive an hour each way and stop at 50 stop lights on the way to work while enjoying such lovely sights as abandoned buildings and homeless people. And make sure you park your Lexus in the middle of the worst neighborhood regularly every single workday. That's safe.
I can't believe this was replied to by complete idiots. Space and time is bent around a black hole, we already know how and why it happens, and can measure it. So that's not scifi. Human stasis is as simple as can be and we're more than halfway there. Anti-radiation shielding exists in nuclear power plants and hospitals already. Actively powered ones have been made in labs already. Also there's one around the Earth that works just fine. Artificial gravity is theoretically possible, as proven recently by the proof of the Higgs Boson.
They should get rid of the rest of the annoying Mac rip off features too. And MS should ditch that hot corners crap that nobody likes on Apple computers in the first place.
You're completely missing the point. Should be doing ANYTHING ELSE while sitting around at work, walking, or driving? No. For the few exceptions, just pull your damn cell phone out. It takes about 1.1 seconds. Nobody has a legitimate use for Google glass other than taking photos and videos nonstop and likely without anyone else's permission. It needs to be made illegal in the entire US and morons should stop buying them.
If you are so addicted to Twitter that you need it streamed live into your eye because taking out your cell phone is too time consuming, you need therapy, not Google Glass.
So we can look at planets and count them and what out with a huge degree of error what is in their atmosphere. Wouldn't the money be better spent on warping spacetime research, fusion, ion thrusters, human stasis, anti-radiation shielding, and artificial gravity?
I found an exploit and it only took me 3 seconds. Someone orders you a package, pretends to be you the second it gets delivered, leaves the trunk open, steals the package and the car by climbing in.
Landing on the moon wasn't a mystery. Splitting the atom was predicted. The Higgs Boson was solved, just not proven and proving theories is quite boring compared to creating them, neutrinos were already theorized to exist, they merely proved it, and "men and women are different" is not new.
So they're bringing super fast speeds to a device 50x slower than my PC that's almost impossible to type on and has a processor that makes a playstation 2 look good. Great idea. And before you say it, you'd have to be an idiot to put your whole house on a 4G wifi hotspot. I'd use the cap in about 1 day under normal use. The cell network isn't built for that kind of traffic. They should be putting money into battery research and better encoding and bandwidth usage so towers are more effective and phones don't need a charge daily. That's the top improvements smartphones need, not speeds above 10 megabits.
What don't these people get about planning and budgets? Atlanta? It probably costs 50x more to bring equipment in, bury fiber, close roads, house the workers, etc in a huge city than it does in a small to medium sized city. And what are inner city residents known for? Not having money! Tearing the business district costs EVEN MORE money so despite them having the deep pockets, it's STILL not cost effective. They need to find a 100,000 resident city, tear that up instead, and get middle class citizens and medium-sized businesses on fiber. That's where the real money is.
What were they thinking?! What's the number one thing that picket lines and rioters and protesters want? Duh, pizza and soda! That's just fueling them!
Anyone else get the feeling that this is pretty much the only ongoing legendary Discovery Channel special mystery that actually got solved. Atlantis? Who knows? Stone henge? Not really solved. Nostradamus? Super debatable. But finally, what seems like yet another impossible eternal mystery is FINALLY being solved! And in my lifetime! I can't even think of any other comparison similar to this.
When global warming fucks up the world's food supply, California hippies are going to have to get a clue and start eating animals and their delicious eggs whenever they're available.
That's because testosterone makes us competitive and aggressive where as most women find a lot of games pointless. That is THE reason, this isn't a problem, this isn't sexism, and this isn't an article worth reading. The end.
I run a computer shop and a lot of people stop in with questions about Windows 8. The #1 question is how the hell to do anything in the metro interface. Even I had to look up on Youtube how to simply close an app because there's no red X, escape does nothing, and alt-F4 works intermittently. I've had people repeatedly run out of operating memory due to too many apps open because they don't know to click and drag the title bar and sort of throw it to close it. It's the least "simple user" friendly interface ever made. Everything is hidden or unlabeled. It's absolutely the opposite of what he's saying.
Well, if you're wondering where they are:
Public health researchers have attributed 330,000 to 340,000 AIDS deaths, along with 171,000 other HIV infections and 35,000 infant HIV infections, to the South African government's former embrace of HIV/AIDS denialism

That'd be the most unstoppable, powerful, unlimited energy weapon ever made. So no, nobody is making one of those...ever.
Actually what happened what they realized "hey...we want to make money."
Who wrote this article? I'm pissed because Vista and Windows 8 sucked. I could care less about the 90's.

Getting hit by a car in a crosswalk does MUCH more damage than that!

You are incorrect. The answer is: "No, no, no, NO, NO!!!!"
That's ridiculous and incorrect.

At least in Arizona golf courses are basically illegal. Some states get it right.

Oh yeah, because that solves EVERYTHING. Hey, go double click on a JPG and see what happens after you "boot to desktop."
1. don't buy it
2. get a life outside of social networks and the internet
I don't care about the UI because I just want to get in and do what I want to do. Since metro thoroughly prevents that, suddenly I care about the UI.
