Well gee, if only there were a link to an article about it.
In a report published this month by the journal Physical Review Letters, 20 physicists from four research institutions disclosed that they had created two tiny specks of matter -- an electron and its antimatter counterpart, a positron -- by colliding two ultrapowerful beams of radiation.
As for this being new...
The possibility of doing something like this was suggested in 1934 by two American physicists, Dr. Gregory Breit and Dr. John A. Wheeler.
Technically, though, it's a vaccine for a virus that happens to cause cancer. There are non-viral forms of cervical cancer that Gardasil does not prevent.
Cancer is unlikely to be cured via brute-force computing. If you've got a computational problem that would help towards a cancer cure, have you asked Google to donate time for it?
Q3 also holds the release of the HTC Evo and The Motorola Droid X
Sure, but with Android, every quarter - hell, every month - heralds the release of the Most Awesome Android Phone Ever. You'd be dumb to hold off on an Android phone purchase because something better is coming. With the iPhone, there's a predictable and reasonably far apart release schedule you can plan for.
This isn't the Washington Post, it's an op-ed they published, by a fellow for an industry shill group that's likely rather scared about corporate secrets (think Big Tobacco-style stuff) being leaked.
1. Droid X is currently Verizon's flagship smartphone. 2. Old phone doesn't necessarily mean he's running an old version of the OS, and since he's talking about UI...
It amazes me that people ask this during the current oil spill, where remotely controlled robots have done fuck-all. Sometimes, if you can get a human's hands on the problem, it's dramatically useful.
When did I say they choose not to? I'd say it's a certainty that Apple has well-paid and generally competent RF engineers on-staff.
Rumour is that the iPhone 4 problem went undetected because most of the testers were testing it in cases that made them look like an iPhone 3GS - no ability to cause the problem.
Add in the fact that it only seems to happen in areas with marginal cellular service (i.e. not Apple HQ) and it's sucky but not massively surprising that this happened, despite good engineers.

His company is the copyright holder - he's hiring writers to create papers. Why would he sue himself?
If I pay for electricity at home, why should I be forced to pay for it again at work.. Or at the mall. Or when I'm overseas.. That's not fair.. waaaaaaah.
AT&T just announced that iPhone tethering will be an additional monthly charge but that using it still eats up your data plan's bandwidth allotment.
That's like paying for electricity at home, but having to pay an additional charge to use the paid-for electricity in certain appliances.
Plus, it's not as if the Facebook side of things is all that hard to replace now that they're huge. Folks would likely follow Zynga off-site onto a new platform.

It's probably quite a bit lower for Google, as they probably just used idle cycles during periods of lower load on their datacenters.

Funny thing is: I work in IT, for a very large and known corporation, and I make just under 3 pounds/h.
Time to sue, then. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/nmw/
Also, you ignored the part in the story where YouGov doles out surveys very slowly. Yes, you could make £3 an hour - if they gave you enough work.
As the ISS constantly loses altitude because of a slight atmospheric drag, it needs to be boosted to a higher altitude several times each year.

There are some shitty nurses out there.

Never heard of fallout?

Have you seen a Droid X? They're monsters! You might actually need two hands.
Since it requires human hands on it, what have Deep Sea Divers done that has helped the oil spill recently?
Diving suits don't work down there. Space suits work fine on Mars, the Moon, etc.
Explain to me why we need people in space again.

I doubt if Apple can afford that kind of engineering.
Tens of billions of dollars of cash-on-hand and they can't afford a few engineers with six-figure salaries. Sure.
Plus, you just cap the hole with a dome and you've got a nice, pressurisable habitat with a skylight.
They are suing Oracle because Oracle gave someone else a better price?

Has anyone done actual studies on average distance of a smartphone from one's eyes, or is he making up the 12 inch stat?
I'd say I range between 12 and 18 depending on how I'm using the phone.
It'd be nice if regulators asked why the overage gigabytes cost tens, hundreds, or thousands of times as much to deliver, too.

If that's true, why haven't those improvements been rolled into core?
Of course, you can exercise the one opt-out system that works - don't use their services.
So... how am I going to find out if a site uses Google Analytics without going to it and checking the source?
