YouTube has a "high quality" video upload option. I've watched a few - most of them are pretty good. Might be suitable for your purposes, and of course, universally accessible. Check it out:
I'd always heard that Seinfeld was a Mac guy, and that's why there was always some model of Mac in his "apartment" on the show, i.e. it wasn't just standard product-placement.
Guess he's being paid a shitload of cash to hump Vista...
My neighborhood Kroger has similar produce scanner / image ID tech as described in the article at the self-check lanes (suburban Nashville).
Instantaneous it is not. It took about 6 or 7 seconds, each, for the green beans and asparagus I bought yesterday to be ID'd by the thing. But it did work.
I agree that the long incubation period for touch tech is weird. For radio, it's been indispensible, ever since the drives got big enough to store a station's entire library of music & commercials (early/mid 90's).
Previously on-air talent (and I use that term loosely) would always need to be busy juggling CDs, tape carts, and records back in days of yore. But all the major "live-assist" radio software for the past decade has been touch-screen interface driven.
Indeed. I made it through the article, but slowly, since I'm watching the late re-run of today's Meet The Press on TV at the same time (heh)...
One thing that keeps me from multi-tasking myself into insanity is a very limited relationship with cellular communications of any kind. I do have a cell phone, however:
-- It stays in my car almost always. -- I have never purchased or downloaded a "ringtone." -- I don't "text" anybody (consequently nobody "texts" me, which additionally simplifies my world)
This is why I don't have an iPhone. (well, that plus the expense).
Most interesting, and potentially the most useful, if you are of the male-gender-persuasion, is the one at the top of page 12, "Female Sexual Psychology".
I remember mine as well... it was called "MacBottom" because it sat underneath my Mac Plus (1986). 20 MB. I remember thinking that I couldn't believe I had so much disk space. I seem to recall it cost a bundle, too... 7 or 8 hundred bucks.
I've tried to Mac-ify a Windows PC on a couple of occasions -- both times it resulted in nothing more than a slow, poorly running PC.
In fact, the best thing you can do for yer PC is run it in "classic" windows mode, with no visual interface effects whatsoever. You'd be amazed at how much faster it runs with all that crap turned off.

Not the idea itself, which, I suppose, is OK. Life tends to imitates fiction, anyway (esp. in tech).
But why exactly is USA Spooks, Inc. publicizing this thing? Does not seem prudent to me....

Not always. I don't think it has worked out that way in Detroit...

heh - That's excellent. I was hoping someone would embellish on that line!
(and fuck all y'all who modded my orig. post down to zero.)
Yeah, screw 'em. Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such. That means more IT jobs for us.
Atari still makes games?

"ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration"
Gawd, I get a chubby just thinking about that.....
Oh... yeah. Right you are....
How long before we see this crap in the States?
As I clearly stated in previous post, "I'm not saying it was a success, far from it. "
Oh please. You back up that claim with a stupid google search?
Afghanistan Chaos = 608,000 hits
Afghanistan Success = 819,000 hits
No, I'm not saying it was a success, far from it. But how about making your case in a more substantive fashion, please. Thanks.
Bisexuals could have a robotic, hermaphroditic sex partner.
Yeah, I know, I'm a sick puppy.....

and the plaintiff should be horse-whipped.
"Why do you rob banks, Mr. Sutton?"
"Because that's where the money is."
Yeah, I know Willie didn't actually say that, it seems to apply in this case.
That should have read "couple" of good bong rips... damn auto-correcting spell checker
re: "On a final note, I don't care what anyone says about Spears in her post-career phase, I would still tap that ass, no question."
Ditto. I bet she's a fuckin' tiger in the sack, especially after a could of good bong rips.
That was a most excellent analysis, LithiumX. Indeed, I'm giving up my ability to moderate on this thread just to tell you that.

I seem to be changing my mind about that one on a constant basis.
Methinks you're even being generous by calling it "very pretty"
I'm tired of getting jerked around by these folks.
