Acutally it's a law in china that they are allowed to pull students from school and put them to work in the factory until production levels are met for their launch date. They get away with it by stating it's some sort of work co-op program, even though the hours are brutal just as the work conditions. That's also why their suicide levels are higher. Google the conditions on apple factories in China and you will find ample articles on it
the child slave labour you have china enforce whenever you release a new product, until your production demands are met? Let me know when you stop doing that shit.
"Microsoft on Tuesday mass emailed its 100 million+ Messenger users to let them know that the service is officially being retired on March 15, 2013
I've never used messenger, never signed up for it, never even been to the registration page, and I still got an email notice telling me that I need to switch to skype. I think they just emailed everyone who has ever used hotmail, or any variation since it's creation.
Thats the whole story? I was sort of expecting more. Well, to the final question of that rather short article. It was most likely the area where they kept their spent fuel bundles. I know in some nuclear power plants, the spent fuel bundles have to be kept in a pool of water for a number of years until their half life is met, and they can be transfered to a dry storage facility. Normally the "pool" is not guarded or locked due to personel constantly going in and out, but there is radiation checks that are done upon exiting the area, also you wear a device for monitoring your radiation dose.

I could see this being a good thing, and a bad thing. If online accounts are using hardware to determine the user account, whats to stop someone from just "borrowing" your hardware and connecting to your account? Sure, they could still have user names passwords and such as backup, but then what would be the point of doing the hardware authenication? Plus how much of a pain in the ass would it be to upgrade your computer and notify the online account to expect changes in your hardware for the next time you login?
Bah, i think i'm rambling now... need coffee... or beer... beer sounds better
On the main website they don't really mention anything about interaction, but in the deviceguru link they state it outright that you "have the freedom to move and interact with people as if you were there". Isn't this just a glorified version of a mobile chat device. I remember the episode of TBBT where Sheldon built one similar, but it did have the "hands" so to speak which I consider "interaction" and not just "chatting" which is what this one appears to be.
Im not sure if you're joking with this comment or not. I know that there is much debate currently going on regarding the great lakes, and how much water (both the USA and Canada) are entitled to take. Places like Las Vagas, who need far more water brought in than say a regular city thats not built in a dessert.
Water treatment is becomming a far more important industry than others, most people just haven't realized it yet.
I made a medical robot semi-autonomous in my final robotics project back in my college days. Basically, it was able to teach itself locations, detect objects, determine the shape of the object, determine the best way to pick it up, identify the object and sort it; all using nothing more than simple math. I never needed to go into any advances mathematics to make it all work. I thought I was biting off more than I could chew at the time, but once I found out that simple math was all I needed, the program was simple to write.
well, i would have to agree with you on this one. My old doctor that I use to go to was a huge pill pusher. I mean, he had pills for everything, and on more than one occasion, the pills he was giving out, turned out to have some major "unknown" side effects and got recalled. Thankfully, I didn't take any of them.
I'm sure my old family doctor wasn't the only one who was a pill pusher. So if it happened a couple of times to me, I'm sure it's happened to many others.
This will probably get modded all to shit since i dont have a referance, but do you think this technology will actually hit the market?
I remember back in the good old days of CD's, there was a company that created a new type of recording information to CD's using fluorescent lighting. They had a working model they presented at a technology expo, and it was all the rave saying how it will blow CD's and DVD's out of the water with the amount of storage capacity (they were able to get close to a hundred layers on a disc the size of a CD). I can't remember what the exact storage capacity was, and a google search comes up with nothing anymore. I just remember that the company suddenly disappeared (probably bought out and the tech scrapped).
Makes me wonder if the same thing might happen again, although, with a company as well known as seagate, I think it might be harder for them to disappear.
Now, I'm not trying to defend PayPal by anymeans, but If you google that you get 11.4 million results, however if you google "paypal is the best" you get 1.22 billion results, thats a 93% happy ratio, so using that logic isn't good argument to make in this case.
"The person who decided to share the movie illegally was tracked down"
Well, not exactly... the person who first uploaded it was tracked down, not the person who first stole it, copy it, and give it to the Koreans to sell on the street.
Seems the person to first share it is still out there...
resisting arrest is what you are charged with when being arrested for committing another crime of which you were arrested for in the first place. being convicted of resisting arrest is something that happens after the initial arrest (the one that you resisted)

The only thing I can say to this is, make something idiot proof and the world will produce a better idiot.
So is it still the iPhone, or eyePhone now?

technically it's called a cartridge, but round has become more acceptable over the years.
I'm just curious how the electronics would handle the excessive heat over the course of time.
I think this person might just want to drink the cool-aid if he isn't already!

You mean that the smartest and brightest are not all born in the USA? I'm shocked.
I once asked Siri where the closest tittybar was, it directed me to the nearest high school. I'm still not sure if that was a mistake or not....

Umm, unless your native american, all "American" names are foreign.
