A long time ago, I sold or gave away all my Heinlein, Asimov, and Niven - almost 200 books, plus a few Christopher Anvil and James Schmitz stories from Analog. Instead, I downloaded free text versions from some scifi torrent and use TEXTEDIT on my Mac to read them. The advantage is that I can carry all my novels with me, on flash drives and on the hard drive of my laptop. Best of all, I can use the whole screen if I want, and I am not limited to a tiny screen.

Thank Goodness! I was wondering how far I could push this.
A turd in the punch bowl isn't so bad. I was afraid they would say I screwed the pooch.
Still, some of the things you can see around here, after midnight, make you wonder just what it is that they do have. It is not hard to imagine many other things, from all this. I hope we all live long enough to see these things revealed.
What happened to sarcasm these days? Doesn't anyone understand it anymore?!
One. It is not the SR-72. It is not even the SR-75 or the 79. Those designations are already being used for other vehicles. Nor is it likely called the AM-11 or the A-17, nor even the 'Stealth Triangle.' To the rest of us, its designation is unknown.
Two. It does not generate heat through the atmosphere, nor does it require 'fuel' in the normal sense.
Three. It is not exactly stealthy, since it 'glows' somewhat at night. However, due to its tremedous speed and its operating silence, it still maintains an element of surprise with a target.
Four. The basic shape is triangular, but that is not its only shape. You would not believe that the Air Force or any other branch of the government would reveal the stealth fighter (F-117) and the stealth bomber (B-2) to the public and the world, if they did not already have something much more advanced and in production, did you?
What can we gather from all this? Evidently, the great secret and the power of the new craft are its propulsive 'engines' which may or may not be magnetic in nature. Therefore, if they are so radical, I wonder if they can only work within the atmosphere, or if they indeed have been used to go to other nearby bodies in space?
But, what do I know? I just live near a base where they test out its weapons delivery. Your mileage may vary.
"If it doesn't work out the way you want it to, it will work out the way its supposed to be."
The interesting thing is, that our sugars and starches are mirror images of the petroleum we pull out of the ground. The petroleum molecules are 'left handed' instead of our food, which molecules are 'right handed'
The former are lethal to us, but the later, we readily absorb (and store)
The biggest problem with converting food sugar sources to plastics is the handedness. Once that is solved, the rest will be easy.
You are correct. The 'planets' out that far are rather small. But both Pluto and Charon combined are still bigger than Eris, and any others yet to be discovered, in descending order of size. It was once thought that there could be massive planets lurking in the Ort Cloud, but Pluto/Charon and Eris may be the biggest (and only) ones there. It would be interesting to know how or what caused Pluto/Charon to break apart. There may be hundreds of smaller parts surrounding them both, as they orbit each other. Time will tell.
"If it doesn't work out the way you want it to, it will work out the way its supposed to be."
Consider the image of a hard packed snowball, broken into two unequal parts.
So goes the latest theory about this 'planet' Its size, if the two pieces were weighed together, would make it a considerable planet in its own right. But if it is broken in two because it is made of mostly ice and lighter elements, would we consider it to be a planet at all or just another large body out in the Ort Cloud?
What would it be like, if you wrote about a distant Distopia, as he did in his "1984" only to find out that it is happening already, just a generation after he wrote it? I am glad George Orwell is not here to see this saddest chapter in the history of a (formerly) great nation.
Rewriting history has to be one of the most sinful of crimes in this world. That, and the attitude of capitulation which drives it. Islam has to be the new Fascism in the world today, and will prove to be just as deadly as the one of the last century.
How is this possible that anyone who buys tracks and listens to music can benefit from these Jokers who want to steal your right to own your own copy of a song, and share music with your friends at parties? (Things even our parents and grandparents could freely do when they were growing up).
You buy a copy of a song or album, and play it all you want, and move it to another player for jogging, or to play in your car, or as a backup on your computer. But Macrovision and the music companies would deny you any of this.
To them, DRM means they own the music and they will rent you your copy for a price, and totally limit what you can do with that rented copy. Don't buy into their Doublespeak. They are not your friend. Their only interest in you is profit, and as much as they can milk you for.
To them, you have no rights, and you are probably a criminal anyway, stealing their potential profit from them, every time you hum the words in public, and every time a second person hears the song you bought playing on your stereo, and every time you move that song to another player or computer.
Which sort of makes this whole topic ludicrous, doesn't it? You might as well discuss how the terrorists are going to benefit us with their way of doing things. Sheesh!
Steve Jobs was right about DRM. It is time to ger rid of that whole thing. If it were gone, more people would buy music, and even these people who say they own the music would profit by DRM being gone.
the basic problem with all touchpads, regardless of who makes them or how they are used, is that they can become a window for RF signals into your computer.
for example, some people experience crazy cursors whenever someone uses a cell phone nearby, because the RF signal from the phone invades the trackpad.
all this interesting article points up is really that trackpads are very easy to exploit for other purposes.
i wonder just when someone will hack a way to get into someone's computer hard drive via the trackpad or wacom tablet.
and why isn't there a notice/warning on all laptops about this weakness of the trackpads open to RF signals?
People do not expect this kind of thing, but it very well may be true on a completely different level, which exists beyond the thinking of most everyone else.
Is there any validity to this? If it is true, it changes everything, because it means that the current success of the Mac, iPod and OS X comes from a very unexpected place. You would almost have to watch HEROES to get a clue about where it comes from.
I know you may think this borders lunatic fringe territory, but you owe it to yourself to at least consider it.

SOLID STATE MACINTOSHES?
. . . PCM chips do seem to be the long term replacement for flash memory chips, which is why you are reading this blog at MyMac.com. Apple Computer has a vested interest in INTEL and its advances, and we all know, if only subconsciously, that all computers some day will be driveless solid state devices with no moving parts at all (right?). Therefore, it is just a matter of time, because with the new PCM volatile/solid state chips, it may not be long before we see Steve Jobs introduce one of these in Macintosh form, at the Keynote at MacWorld.
. . . In fact I have one of these self-same PCM chips, wired into my portacath in my chest. It is excellent for waking-up-running, hitting-the-deck, raring-to-go, sort of experience in the morning. Although, the programmed chip does take into account my bum ticker, so the experience is sort of in slow motion, but still better than a double shot from the nearby FourBucks coffee shop, and I don't have to get dressed to go get it.

Who said this vehicle is a replacement for the SR-71 and that it is used only for recon?
The Air Force is not 'hard at work' developing this craft. It has been in use for at least a decade now.
One. It is not the SR-72. It is not even the SR-75 or the 79. Those designations are already being used for other vehicles. Nor is it likely called the AM-11 or the A-17, nor even the 'Stealth Triangle.' To the rest of us, its designation is unknown.

Nothing can penetrate it. Nobody even tries.
But for destructive capability, her glaring eyes are far more powerful than lasers, phasers, or photon torpedoes.
She sails through life like a queen, beautiful, peaceful, and serene.
But let someone raise her hackles, and watch out!

""These are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others."
American productivity in business is what it is all about.
Microsoft singlehandedly has trashed American productivity
with its buggy, insecure, reprehensible software for decades.
Think about your own company where you work.
How many man-hours or man-years have been lost through
lost data, system crashes, failed presentations, and re-installs
because of Microsoft Office substandard and bloated software?
More than that, how much corporate production time has been
lost to down computer time because of Windows?
Even if Microsoft reembursed every user for what they spent
on Microsoft software and operating systems, it would never
begin to repay lost time and productivity that it has cost
American businesses. And in the world of competition with
other businesses and governments, we have fallen far behind
because of Microsoft.
Do we even mention Microsoft generated corporate insecurity?
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

WHAT IF APPLE MADE JUST A CELL PHONE?
and not an iPod phone
- better battery life
- no cutting into iPod sales
- simple, elegant, Mac-like interface
If you want a music player, buy an iPod
if you want a world-class, desirable phone, buy the Apple iPhone
Why does this seem to be such a no-brainer?
All-in-one devices are all about compromise
They are not elegant, simple, easy-to-use or lightweight
They are usually left behind at the airport too
APPLE - JUST BUILD ME A CELL PHONE
LEAVE OUT THE MUSIC PLAYER, PDA, CAMERA, VIDEO PLAYER
