Wanna know what I do when I meet a religious extremist?
I do a little nice gesture, that makes their life better, and causes them to instantly like me.
I have a late model Honda Pilot with all the entertainment (and nav) bells and whistles. The dash is a horrible amalgam of buttons and knobs. If a car maker wanted to get the jump on the competition, they would make a deal with Apple for them to design the dashboard.
After having read this post a couple days ago on using the iPad at an angle, I specifically considered this when checking one out in the Apple store today. The iPads at the store sit on a low cylinder, angled slightly toward the user. It will go unnoticed by those test-driving the iPad, but the angle definitely enhances the experience. I took it off the stand and used it on the flat table which was noticeably less comfortable. This issue isn't a show-stopper, but it's definitely something to consider when thinking about how you'll use the iPad.

Houston, we have lift off

I have come to the same conclusion, "the best and the brightest do not go into medical school".
Interestingly, at the medical school I attended, during the graduation ceremony the PhDs are called up prior to the MDs. This of course implies more deference to the PhD degree. I wonder if this is standard everywhere...
This is an interesting quote featured on page 24 of the PDF:
We may soon store library catalogs, or actual texts, on microprocessor-controlled optical discs to be retrieved and viewed
on the same machines that play feature films and programmed instruction modules.
I am curious to see how multi-touch gaming evolves. On the iPhone game controls are confined to a small area due to the size. I imagine there will be some pretty clever gaming innovation once developers apply their imagination to the multi-touch real estate.
Microsoft wants to ruin Google's search business. Google wants to ruin Microsoft's OS business.
If they were to truly ruin each other, additional competitors would come out of the ashes to offer something consumers want more. You say they're too big for a competitor to emerge? Hey, aren't you that guy 20 years ago who was complaining about how large IBM was and how they controlled the whole PC market?
Ah, but I wouldn't be surprised if the nifty laser labeling leads to large advertisements on the fruits. Or perhaps some entrepreneur will try to increase sales by lasering beautiful art or patterns on their fruit.
In other news today scriptwriters working on the sequel of the wildly successful Jonny Mnemonic scrambled to incorporate the technical advance into the sequel's script. Now, Jonny's nail polish is sacrificed to accomodate the large amount of valuable data.
I was watching it when my computer geek friend came in the room. Man, that was more embarrasing than the time my Mom walked in on me watching porn with my pants around my ankles.
I've been augmenting reality for years with my mobile phone--just dropping it down the front of my shorts. For an added bonus, set your ring to vibrate. Ah, for the days of the old brick phone.

You mean like Nick Berg?

Evidently the female astronauts were up in arms about this so NASA has promised to add a special module for them called "The Kitchen".
Nuff said.

Here you can find a 2-hour interview with William Forstchen, the author of "One Second After". Good info on societal breakdown issues related to an EMP pulse. http://www.850koa.com/cc-common/mainheadlines3.html?feed=217732&article=5800699
