Although some historians claim that Eisenhower's motivations were military in nature, the nation's civilian population reaped the rewards
and mother nature was wounded... all the roadkill, destruction of wildlife habitis, splitting / dividing of land... we shoulda stuck to gravel roads, flying, and our bicycles. Or maybe we shoulda worked harder on tele-transporting.
Wouldn't the premise be then that if you type "Los Angeles Store"... it would search the San Fransisco stores for something named "Los Angeles Store?"... which brings up the question, how does it know if "Los Angeles" if the name of the city you're searching in, or the name of the product / store you're searching for?
Example: While in SF... use this technology to search for "Texas Roadhouse Steaks"... will it search for "Roadhouse Steaks" in Texas?... or "Texas Roadhouse Steaks" in SF?
Technorati's Sifry said people want devices to be more aware of factors such as location, so if they were in San Francisco searching for, say, a store, they would not have to specify their location.
But what loop holes will I have to jump thru if I'm in SF and want to search for a store in LA? How frickin' hard is it to type in... "San Fransisco Store"... as opposed to just "Store"?

Ubuntu Hacks

tips and tricks which the authors choose to call hacks, which explain how to accomplish various tasks in Ubuntu Linux
I love linux... but sadly this statement sums up it's flaw... in order to do oridinary tasks, you must know "hacks". Non-techy users just can't understand, let alone perform such "hacks".
one of the real strong recommendations is to stop calling it 'RSS' and start calling it 'news feeds,' because that explains what it does
I've been trying to convince my work that for years now! But instead we have systems named... LTD, MARDAT, APRP, CLSPMT, CSR, etc. It's insanely hard to work with! Call it what it is... not by some stupid acronym.
"SCO has gone through some rocky times. It's been a real roller coast ride the last few years," McBride said. But SCO is now focused on making mobile business transactions easier to implement. Ring tones for cell phones has become a $1 billion market, McBride noted.
So they go from something meaningful to Ring Tones? That's one crazy roller coaster.
Other tech companies need to take advantage of this before it's too late... with the MSFT shake-ups, resignations, and whatever else... Google, Apple, Linux, FireFox, Opera, Open Office, and everybody else needs to immediately step-up their product pitches... get some non-tech people to notice the issues MSFT is facing, and the fact that there are alternatives. These companies need to jump at the bit now... grab some shares... and introduce the world to a computer that doesn't depend solely on MSFT.

Reminds me of the excitement surrounding a Debain release! Of course that was probably just cause they happened so damn often :-P
It depends on how you view the cow ...
