I'm not sure why this was modded down. I think people that value their rationality above all else are just as much fools as those who value their beliefs above all else. Sometimes things in this world aren't rational, and to ignore the human factor means missing as much of the picture as if we ignored the facts of the situation.
People who worship their own ability to reason are often blind to obvious truths/realities in front of them.
I'm pretty sure that this area of research will produce many *new* applications which will require or at least benefit from this kind of computing. AI, for instance, would have a new platform for other researchers to experiment with.
I think the current model of computing, while sufficient to produce 95% of the current business logic (as you say), is still very limiting. The amount of data being generated on the internet these days is staggering - so much so that most of it just sits there, never being looked at again after being created. Our current model has no way of dealing with this in any meaningful way. How about realtime augmented reality - just taking in and processing everything in front of your eyes within fractions of a second is thus far a task only for something as complex as our brains.
I'm sure, as researchers advance this model, people will find all sorts of creative ways to put it to use.
Ive found this to be a personal thing - I can't stand distorted images, and my girlfriend cant stand the bars on the side of the screen. At first I made sure the bars were always there, but after while she won out, and now the whole screen is always used, even if it means I have to watch stretched out faces. To each their own, I guess.
Here is Gmail's documentation describing this functionality (you may have to open the answer to question #1). For the most part, dots are ignored by Gmail. The only exceptions are that when you log in to Gmail you must enter any dots that were originally defined as part of your username and that Google Apps does recognize dots.
The difference is, the radiation you are using from his lights have no effect on the amount of radiation he has available for his own use - the bandwidth you are using, however, may have such an impact (ianal).
Actually, thought processes are quite different among people. Growing up in different cultures, and speaking different languages can bring about very distinct ways of thinking about things. Even among similar people, family environments shape the way we process information. Even within one family, if one child is raised on puzzles and interactive games with strategies, s/he will most likely grow up with a vastly different thought proces than one brought up on television. There's still so much about the brain we don't understand, it's impossible to say we all think alike.
except, if you read the article, it states that this version will be internally known as "XP Reloaded." its comercial name will likely be something else (to be determined by marketing)
At SUNY Buffalo, to get anything off the campus network, we have to authenticate to the firewall using our unique IT account. The firewall, in turn, keeps a log of all the authetications. This way, we can track usage by user, rather than ip or mac address - no matter what machine the user was using, or in what building. When we find a machine spreading klez, it's a relatively simple task to look up the user that was on that machine at that time, and email that user directly.
thats not a bad idea - to pay for it, they could add that feature to subscribers' services. or, they could have a list of volunteer mirrors that got the articles, say an hour in advance of posting, and just post those links along with the article. id volunteer some bandwidth for the community.
thats a really interesting article - much along the same lines as courtney love's, but what are those points steve speaks of, and how does a band aquire them?
you dont think they can monitor all the email that traverses the internet and all the telephone calls that cross the country with the crap they have now, do you? uncle sam wants your email!
we can just send all of our old cds and expired dvd's to aol! who cares where they're from? aol has become the poster child for wasteful advertising, and it's now their turn to feel the pain of looking in the mailbox and seeing 10 pounds of useless plastic garbage sitting there.
Asking a friend, or someone you know to help you build one. It may take more time, but the learning experience makes it more than worth it. If you feel brave, there are TONS of sites on the web that give step-by-step howto's on building systems. There are also many forums (forums.anandtech.com is one of the best, IMHO) where you can ask any question, and get an informed, helpful response. Doing it yourself (or with the help of a friend) will leave you better equipped to fix anything, should problems arise down the road (as opposed to the hassle of shipping things around, or waiting forever on the phone for tech support).
Opera has so much more than a pretty transfers window. there are a hundred small things that make it 10x better than any other browser. first, gesture browsing. that feature alone makes it twice as good as any other browser. the integrated google search window, the popup menu when double clicking on any word, the crash recovery feature and the excellent implementation of skins are just a few features off the top of my head that make it, in the words of a friend of mine, the "über-browser". and all these features are on _top of_ the fact that this browswer is _really_ fast. a lot of thought went into opera, and i am more than happy to support such a wonderful community with my purchase of a darn good browser.
What about opera 6? as far as the UI goes, it has more features than any browser i have ever seen. i dont know baout all the technical features, though.

WebOS on the original Palm Pre did this in 2009. It combined GChat, SMS, and a few other chat services into the built-in chat client.

I'm pretty sure "education" is a pretty effective vaccine against this and many other types of "brain-washing" ailments and addictions ;-)

what if all the stations in your area all play the same music?

it wasnt posted in the article, and i havent seen it in any of the comments, so here is the official link for the watch.
