The way I see it, they: a.) Plotted some data b.) Extrapolated a simple trend from that data c.) Forecasted, using the trend function, before the point of data collection d.) Came up with some wild conclusions from that forecast (or "beforecast"?) that rely heavily on the validity of the simple trend.
It kind of smells like bad science...or at least risky science.
Actually, we should use a substantial amount of Chinese equipment in places that are assured non-security related (who cares if they have current information on our disposition of stray cats and dogs), and then a bunch more attached to honeypots and decoy networks to watch them watching us.
Most martial arts show us that every attack is an opportunity to use an opponents momentum against them.
The thing to remember is that the US is a much larger country. This is in terms of population. For that reason, there are likely to be more extremes in the US, just as a numerical property of a larger population.
(Not really a complete thought, just thinking on/.)
I think that's the common definition of dark matter. It's just whatever apparent gravitational affects can't be accounted for by the 'visible (through a telescope) matter'.
Well, it's a question of "what the end user sees". So far it boils down to:
-Everything your browser can do (while connected to the web). -Ability to play media online and offline (from another commenter). -Very strong system security.
The/. crowd have a problem because they can't fire up actual applications or games like Quake 4 - I'm guessing.
I played with one at Best Buy a couple days ago. I think it comes down to this: Whatever you can do in Chrome (the browser) you can do on that machine.
There are "links" on the tab bar that function as shortcuts to places like gmail, google docs, and whatever. I think they just open up a browser window or tab to that respective place, though.
Designed, built and operated by the New Mexico Spaceport Authority (NMSA), Spaceport America is nearing completion of the first phase of construction, which includes basic operational infrastructure such as an airfield, launch pads, terminal / hangar facility, emergency response capabilities, utilities and roadways
Umm, there's already a spaceport under construction and really close to Texas.
I really like Android, but it is something of the exception that proves the rule. Every phone is locked into a version of Android and doesn't have much life past that stream.

You said it better than I was going to say it.

Lame, that doesn't sound usable at all.
and what would people in smaller cities use location aware devices for?
Their idea doesn't sound like it requires 100M to get going off the ground. It also doesn't sound like it'd ever raise 100M all that quickly.
Am I the only one who read the title and laughed because of a Patton Oswalt joke?

I like that idea. I'm sure it's implemented.
And I could also setup a VNC server and invite everyone I know to view it while I browse anything/everything.
But I don't...how is this a bad thing, again?
How long did it take you from order to arrival?
I've looked, didn't find it. I just found some vague mumbo about cryptography with a ton of loaded buzzwords.
I want specifics.
1.) What is a bitcoin, EXACTLY?
2.) How divisible is a single bitcoin?
3.) All the specifics of any relevant protocols.

That's a good point. Java is definitely in demand and wide use.
As a Win7 user, did anyone else feel completely lost reading the summary?
You say that, but given some of their more recent decisions this latest decision is still shocking.
Meh, why not let them spin it to their heart's content? I mean, seriously, where's the harm?
It's not like this is an oil company that should be rightly scorned for PR spin covering up gross abuse.

Wow, thank you for your review. You successfully explained what it's like to own. Sounds like a good box for entertainment.

Actually, those were listed as the criteria for locating the spaceport there. It's far enough from population, and that's good when things go south.

Very cool, man, very cool.

Yeah, I wish they'd pool resources in an effort to make One Stable, Solid Distribution sort of like FreeBSD.
Umm, the HP actually has the next generation of the Tegra 3 CPU, so you can't call that part of it shit.
You can definitely call the screen shit, though.
Yeah, I'm not sure it can run many apps, yet.
I've wanted a touch interface to a laptop for years. Why? Why not. A mouse is not the best way to record information.
