A simple change to ICE would tip the balance in the cities. Stop the engines at traffic lights, and use a better designed starter motor to get them going when the lights change. Works well for diesel engines.
Sept 2003 Prius, 300k+ kms, original battery, still drives me to work on a 100km trip per working day. Hybrids didn't seems to be mentioned in the original article, they don't draw power from the grid, it is just about reusing the energy that is usually lost in breaking etc. Overall if you do the driving, hybrids are good, else, buy a smaller car.
were is the news? the news is that a small portion of the world flushes their waste away with drinking quality water and that there are billions of others that don't. There are many systems that don't require a 'flushing toilet', the post is about just one, so it's more like an advert than a story, oh, crap.
I have an old IBM electric wall clock with the same numberless dial, but it doesn't have the red lolly-pop second hand, who copies (Apple did) who was 'inspired' (IBM was?)
semi serious question here. how is MS judged to be the largest? Company value? range of products? manufacturing ability? I don't wish to troll I'm just curious as to how they get the title of largest.
no surprise here! people bought computers because it was the only way to access the net and play games, now they can pay less and buy a phone or tablet and not have to have a space available for a computer. And computers will still be bought by people who still need the flexibility and apps that can't be provided by a 'smart' phone. It's the way that the market has gone. My guess if that it's the end of crappy cheap computers as people invest more to get the power that isn't available in a phone or tablet.
I have dealt with Austin for many years, he can be a total ass-hole. There doesn't need to be links etc. the x-plane forums, X-Plane.org, will have many references to stupid changes made to the product just because Austin wanted it that way, not because it was better. Silly programming errors that persisted for years, suggestions that were rejected, usually with abusive emails, that were later implemented. Nope, Austin can be a total crap pile, and nothing will change my opinion, that's why I stopped using x-plane. And it worries me that anyone would bother to defend him, especially someone who has not communicated with him for any length of time. All he has to do, in this case, is either drop X-plane for Android, or find another copy-protection system.
it is just an android issue, so kill x-plane for android, or find another way to stop people stealing (not having lawfully obtained) software and the issue goes away.
it doesn't have a 10" screen, so it fails in that area. It is up against 100's of similar Android devices, so they had better do a lot of support stuff, and it is about 2 years to late. It is a tablet from a toy retailer, I can't see that as an iPad killer. A hammer is an iPad killer!
it's still done by hand in Austrlia. I have worked in a polling booth and it is nice to see actual paper ballots, hand counted, and viewable by reps from anyone involved.
doesn't matter who is listening, in an age where encryption is standard, if you don't use encryption, or if you don't limit your transmission radius, then you have not indicated that you which your wi-fi to be private. A transmission via radio is open to 'listening' under laws in many countries, it is what you do with the material that is usually restricted.
give each member of the legal teams a knife, lock them in a room, and only let the last person standing, exit. This is going to go on long than MacOS vs, Windows 2.
the only news here is that Win7 now has greater marketshare than XP, the rest of the stats are no brainers because, 1/ Vista flopped as an OS, and 2/ OSX doesn't run on 'PCs' (yes, I know that you can hack a PC so that it can)
what a great App, it's up there with an app that shows traffic crash sites, aircraft disasters and similar. And what would be really useful is a button to click on that shows the death and injury stats!/sarcasm
finally people have awoken to the fact that they don't need a desktop PC to get a TV guide or view movies or sort pictures, that's why the PC industry is on the decline. It won't disappear because businesses still need them, but most other people don't. If WoW came to the iPad, thousands more would crawl out of their dark rooms and give away their PCs.
/. has covered this many times before, Technology has a limited life, if you have Digital music, you can move it to a physical medium, but you then need a device to use that physical medium. If you have books, you move them to a medium that can store the material, if you have some sort of limited, proprietary format THEN YOU DID IT WRONG. I buy physical medium and transfer it to digital, and I have several devices to replay the content, I buy books, too many books, but I doubt that my Grandkids will care.
sadly it may have taken many days and many dollars to produce a logo that will look OK on the default low res startup graphic that was greeting me with Win95, but this is 2012 and I just can't believe that that is the best that could be done, so very lame, which matches Win 8.

BTW, how do I make this clock appear in iOS?
if you had not been a coward, I could have modded this up.
big stuff gets locked away in private collections and museums, small stuff gets traded and it's 'value' grows.

of course they did a trail before doing this, didn't they?
11 sounds like a whimp,
what do you expect from a committee?
and Apple had so much success with System 7 that MS had to copy it.
It's just marketing.

thanks, saves me from posting that old joke.

I remember the white suit and dodgy video, in a hall full of school kids.
RIP.

if it was innovation, then there wouldn't be a law suit.
