If your grandmother was nearly killed making a left hand turn - that is her fault not the traffic's that she was pulling out into. Old people making left hand turns into traffic kill far more people than speeders. The person making the left into traffic is responsible for doing so safely. Sounds like grandma didn't. She shouldn't have been cutting it so close that a 15 mph delta could make the difference between life and death.
The web comic Sluggy Freelance ( http://www.sluggy.com/ ) has had an ongoing character for years that developed all sorts of inflatable tech. I was halfway expecting to see the name Dr. Schlock in the article.
I call this USER ERROR - not any problem with iTMS or iTunes. What happened to your backup of your music files? Did you backup your music library like the other documents on your iBook before you reformatted? I mean come on man - show a little responsiblity for your own data. Jeeese.
In all of the videos I watched on the site, NONE of the "swarmbots" appeared to robots any more than those on Battle Bots. They all had tethers, so how are they any differnt than the multibots seen on Battle Bots? They appeaered to be nothing more than RC toys with cool grabbers and flashing lights.
Don't get me wrong, the theory is cool and we could be close to the tech, but the implemenation shown is not impressive.
When they run without external control - then I'll be impressed.
But Nielsen isn't truely partnering with TiVo & still doesn't know what to do with TiVo owners. I know this from personal experience. My wife & I were selected to be a Nielsen family a few months ago and were quite excited at the prospect of our twisted TV view habits representing approximately 25,000 people - and getting paid to do it. It all came to a stop when the Nielsen rep came to our house for the final review of our TV equipment & the subject of TiVo came up.
Basically the problem is (as was explained to us by the rep) that since TiVo time shifts everything, there is no way for Nielsen to compile that data in the overnight ratings. Lets say I TiVo Enterprise, and then don't watch it for a month, saving it up for a rainy Sunday afternoon - how does Nielsen report that back to the Networks? Sure I watched the shows, and maybe the commercials if they look interesting enough at 2X, but it's now a month later. The weekly ratings reports can't show that I watched the show. On the other hand, if Nielsen reports that I watched those shows when they recorded, how do they know that I actually watched them instead of deleting them later on?
This is further compounded by the fact that Nielsen family don't keep log books any more. It' an semi-automated system that reports what shows you are watching automatically, but you need to tell the unit who in the household is watching. There are even extra buttons for guests. So depending upon what method they use to automatically determine the show you are watching (the embedded station ID / along with current time?) with TiVo you could register to the Nielsen box as watching a completely different show.....
Anyhow - I'm still pissed that we couldn't be a Nielsen family since we use TiVo - not so pissed that I'll give TiVo up - but still pissed.
The article claimed they had raised 5 million in financing. How the hell do you plan on building a new cel phone design with that minimal amount of money. Just the injection molding tools and the assembly/pakcaging equipment required to make it at $30 would cost more than that.
What are you talking about??? It looks nothing like the Cannon lens. The lens technology is to keep the light comming through the lens from refracting (like in a prism) which is a big problem with big lenses. This causes lens flare. The bigger the lens, the bigger the problem with lens flare. Hence new exotic lens tech instead of just coatings.
BTW - It the quality of the coatings on a lens that really make it good. They correct the fact that different colors of light travel through the glass at different speeds and bend at a different angle.

It's not an extruder FDM. The Objet series are basically ink jets that print UV curable resins layer by layer.

I also doubt it since doing a quick search on the net I couldn't find any reference to a blast in Siberia in June of 1982 - 1908 maybe, but not 1982.
Maybe Safire is getting senile and confusing the time when worked for Teddy Roosevelt......

Not really all that exciting considering my 5 year old MP2100 has all of that, plus a PC modem, yadda yadda yadda.
Now if I could only find a replacement screen for it. The digitizer pad is getting erratic.
