As with West Virginia blocking Telsa, small places banning luxury items are really only spitting in the wind. Do you really think any Swiss person wanting an Apple watch is _not_ willing to make the short trip to Zurich or Lyons to get one?
Without Telsa, who will compete with West Virginia's single BMW dealership!?! I guess anyone interested in the $70k luxury sedan range will have to drive the extra 56 miles to Ashland, KY if they want the full range of options. I sure hope they can afford the gas...
We already knew it existed, as reported on Slashdot back in May of 2012: http://science.slashdot.org/story/12/05/23/2240213/mit-creates-superhydrophobic-condiment-bottles
The news here is that it's finally being commercialized.
Right now, based on current technology, American companies are developing battery-powered electric cars, while Japanese are introducing those based on fuel cells. Over the long range, say in ten or twenty years, do you see one technology overtaking the other?
Yes, Delphi, an basically unknown in the self-driving world, is trying to make a big splash by doing something that appears monumental while perhaps not actually making much of a leap forward in the technology. But out in most of America, self-driving cars are still pretty controversial. Accomplishments like this, assuming they pull it off, can make huge political advances.
And I don't know about you, but I'll be mighty frustrated if, when the technology arrives, we're stuck waiting on the legal system.

Okay, I've managed to get the monitor off my laptop (it must have been stuck; I had to pry it off). Can someone tell me how to re-attach it as portrait?
Program odd fingers to unlock the phone, then offer up your thumb to unlock it. After three tries it fails and requires your passcode, rendering your data safe. Right?
It might seem fussy, but I don't really think it is: the biggest trouble with MS's claim that the Surface can double as a laptop is how poorly it fits on your lap. Barring a keyboard hinge, you have to hike the thing in close so that you can use the stand on the back, which, for me, is too close (arms bent like I'm mocking a chicken). Also, it doesn't allow me to get the proper angle of the screen, plus the whole device is really wobbly.
I guess this doesn't matter if you never put your laptop in your lap, but if you do, there are far better keyboards available for the iPad.

Perhaps they should focus on the more short-term goal of being the last Windows phone standing...
Right, meant to say Munich. But, as someone pointed out, there is an apple store in Liechtenstein, which is even closer.

Oh, and the authors found that batteries appear on track to reach $230 per kilowatt-hour by 2018.

What's the lightest material for a solar cell? Would be amazing if they could generate electricity with the wings...

Bad covers are just another way indies are crowding out the big publishing houses.

Forget this boring job, I'm driving to Baltimore with my camera phone tonight!

Per the Corning website:
"In lab tests, Gorilla Glass 4 withstood such drops up to 2X better than competitive glass designs."
(http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/en/glass-types/gorilla-glass-4)
from the PC Mag article:
"They found that Gorilla Glass 4 is up to two times tougher than competitive glass. The company said it survives drops up to 80 percent of the time."

Isn't a big iPad just a big iPad?
The big question is: strong enough to tether the space elevator?
