...is alot more flexible, longer, and smaller. Yes, I have to "plug it in" instead of "set it on". But my wire can be taken with me. One of them can plug into my car. both of them together are a fraction the size of this pad.
And maybe I'm not getting it, but isn't that thing plugged in?!??! If I'm not mistaken, they have only replaced the plug with a plate. When I first read the article, i was excited to think someone figured out how to charge my devices anywhere... like on a trail.
This is an example of something very cool that is impractical. I applaud them, but I will not buy their stock.
Congrats, because of you later today in a meeting one of two things will happen.
1. A geek will pass out your post, crisis averted. Expect a job offer. But you have to work in China or something... check a previous post about where google newhires have to work. +)
2. a geek will say "In my research I have discovered that yadda yadda and problem solved, crisis averted".
and then 10 other geeks will roll their eyes because they read the same shit here too.
Problem though..... unless it's a hell of a small track, who's going to catch it on film? Nothing fast enough to keep up, and unless they have a grip of cameras, how would they cover a big course?
They can barely keep cameras on downhill skiing at the olympics, and nascar is only capable because its an oval. watching the long beach grand pri is like a MTV video with all the cutaways.
What is different about your games?

What is it in the brainstorming, design, implementation, or other stage you may find more interesting that YOU think sets your games apart from other games that have not done as well, had the same staying power, or popularity?
Thats insightful, I like it. Since you know something about it.... how about using the wire in the headphones as the antenna?
just an idea... hope you stumble back by:)

I run.... far.
Music, no matter how much I can fit on it, gets repetitive. I want to be able to access local radio, AM and FM. Especially things like NPR and talk radio that is new every day. Long runs go by quick when you have something engaging to listen too.
I was dicussing why they dont do radio yet, and I guess they'd rather force you to podcast it than just allow it real time.
I'm not convinced this is bad, as i think the tivo is cool too... but i have a gallery of stations and programs I listen too now, and i dont want to wait to listen to them later (IF) they podcast.
For that reason ilook at other MP3 players right now.
For the time being, i use a am/fm radio. I'm so 1970's:)
Sure you can turn it on and see if the files are still visible to the OS, but its another thing completely to turn it on and see if the files have been OVERWRITTEN, which means they are unrecoverable.
Seems like two companies that would normally be driving rpices down decided to form up a new company with a single pricing plan.... anyone else read it that way?
While the parent will probably get modded troll by the time I click submit, it is worthy to have bad reviews too.
I dont think this is a bad review... it seemed he said it was fun but wouldn't have you playing for months. Reviews aren't just for the greatest games ever... they also serve to inform the buying public, which this one did well.
"Why is he wasting paragraphs on trying things out that are there in black and white in the specs?"
Because often products do not live up to claims, and consumers like to know that a product acts as advertised. They like to know it is durable, as advertised. There's always how many HP the car is advertised to have, and how many it really dyno's at.
If you believe all advertising, and no advertiser ever lied or exxagerated, then you'd have a point.
The only thing about this news that's Australian is the name of the paper you decided to link the story from.
A search for the researchers name comes up with her working at Penn State, in the good ol' U.S.A.
"Heber-Katz, who is also an adjunct professor in the pathology and laboratory medicine department at Penn's School of Medicine, now devotes about 80 percent of her time to mapping the gene loci that confer these unique regeneration properties and analyzing their patterns of expression."
It's not based on anything but the average IQ of people that listen to NPR being higher. Thats all. It's just a fact... if you feel elite for that, or not, you go girl.

I once saw the virgin mary in a chip.... I have it for sale on ebay, hoping golden palace will pick it up... or at least a fanatic catholic.

Get ready for a sharp decline in the "eccentric millionaire" population when this goes through.
If only selling your dotcom pre-bust or inventing the (enter last big thing here) made you a good rocket pilot =)

"Recording a CD: $2000 Ripping your CD: $0 Saying 'Screw you' to the RIAA's business model and getting Slashdotted for publicity: Priceless"
Unfortunately in this case, "priceless" literally means they wont make a dime!
Have something interesting to target... a sattelite packed with explosives.
Fire up the lazers! (and yes, our hunter killer lazer sattelites are code named doplin 1, and dolphin 2.) We are not without a deadly sense of humor!
Can I get MP3's into this radio?

Hell no, I'm adding it to my favorites!

Someone let Chris Rock know those damn crackers finally getting their due!!
Yeah, thats right, I'm creating a bot to click every button, and taking each output, emailing it to myself, and copyrighting it.
I figure in a year or so I should have just about everything either copywritten, or at least something close enough I can sue everyone.
I'm also working at buying the rights to the word "stealth".

For me it would be music, movies, and photoshop layered graphics at high resolutions.

Because he's stealing THEIR business model! =)
