But these morons in charge wouldn't be able to do it if they didn't have the support of a good sized chunk of the population, right? I'd put some of the blame on the tabloid obsessed twits who can't tell the difference between a pediatrician and a pedophile and see the bogey man behind every tree.
Of course what happens in the rest of my life rarely involves putting my life at serious risk like I do when I get into my car. Putting fancy entertainment devices in cars sure isn't going to make that any better.
What the article didn't mention was that he was shot at 101,897 times. 1,566 of the shots hit, the rest either missed or bounced back at the shooter. The bullets were marked as coming from China but actually originated in the US. I think the killing was done by a rogue bot net.
I've read that one thing that people who commit these types of crimes have in common in an obsession with their image with others. They'll steal, cheat, whatever to get the money to splurge in attempts to impress others. They'll also never admit their faults because that would break their self image. Going to prison, even briefly at a mild one, may have been too much to reconcile with his "wealthy high tech tycoon" image. When he decided to kill himself he saw his family as extensions of himself and it wasn't that much of a stretch to want to take them with him and kill them first.
Be on the lookout for a man with a large penis and breasts, lots of mortgages, sexy naked teens, and a bottle of v1@grA. He was last seen with the ex-Minister of Finance for Nigeria, Dr Mugotumbe.
One reason, I'd guess, is that if they just sold boxes with more generic pieces people would start to think "All I'm really buying is the same old parts with different instructions" so by putting in lots of new pieces they create a feeling that you got your money's worth.
I would never want to use a touch screen for anything except public kiosks (though public kiosks are disease vectors already). A touch screen should come with a supply of Windex for the impenetrable layer of fingerprints that is going to blotch the screen, plus every time you use the screen you are blocking your view. The primary use of the screen is to be able to see what it is displaying, yes? There is also the issue (as you noted) that putting the screen in a comfortable viewing position makes it poor for pressing. You have to reach out (and maybe up also) and extend to contact it. Repeat that hundreds of times a day and you're going to be in physical therapy with shoulder problems. At least with a mouse I can use it with my arm relaxed and supported.
Actually there is a bias now, against young men. The numbers show young men are doing more poorly in general in grade school than woman. They are trending to go to college less and are more likely to have problems in school. Yet a good chunk of the activism and money goes towards woman now.
Actually the argument was that black people weren't capable of doing those jobs. No one is saying woman can't do them, they are just saying there is a natural trend towards other interests. God forbid the mind should have any differences like the rest of the body.
Can I submit an article about doing the reverse? Why did I take my gym bag out of the car and bring it into my office this morning? No matter how hard work is today I doubt that I'll be breaking a sweat.
Maybe some research into safer hydrogen based airships would be in order. I have no clue what they could do but I don't think anyone has looked into it.

And then negotiate as fair a deal as both parties can agree upon.
But what about the lawyers? Won't someone please think about the lawyers!
I believe "Surface Plasmons" were either a rock band or the bad guys from a Dr Who episode.

You'd think NASA would've tested it more thoroughly before sending it but then I suspect the government frowns on that sort of thing.
Only 1 in 5 are online. That is because the other 4 in 5 are monitoring them.

Lego people are made out of people! PEOPLE!
Stalin tried his best to be the worst but mainly slaughtered his own people in slave labor camps and massive engineering schemes. He (and his successors) still did leave behind some gems of pollution hell.
The residents of Beijing just need to inhale deeply just before the games end and hold it for the rest of their lives.
Problem solved!
The nation's personal injury lawyers heartily support your idea.

And if you don't have arthritis in your hands yet a handheld will give it to you.
Ok, let's look at the log!

I'm challenging it. What size bathtub? Are there any mixers involved? If it is gin is there a dash of vermouth and an olive included?
Do you really want robots out there who can check you into the boards and beat you in a fight?
