We need a bare-metal virtualization solution for computers, so we can easily switch from OS to OS without rebooting. I'm not talking about a guest OS running on another host OS, as others have already pointed out the flaws in that, but really something like ESX for desktop computers (ESX would itself be perfect, except that it does not have a usable console). I'ld say they should have this feature built in to the BIOS of every computer, that way malware can't infect the hypervisor.
Does this come with WPA encryption so my neighbors can't use my wireless electricity? Or does it come with a "surge" button so I can fry whomever is illegally stealing my power?
dust and stuff getting on the connectors, and whatnot.. and still work despite accumulations of pocket lint
Although this isn't mentioned specifically in the video, it appears as if the transceiver is meant to be permanently attached to the fiber. This would be the easiest solution to the lint issue, plus it would eliminate the complexity of making good optical connections. Essentially, I think they intend to have the transceivers molded into both ends of the fiber and it would probably look just like an USB cable to the average user, only with fiber running end-to-end, rather than copper. Of course, I'm not sure USB can reach 10 Gbs, so it probably would have a different type of electrical connection to the host PC.
I think the key innovation here is that they can have a short, high-speed electrical connection between the PC and the transceiver, and a large arbitrarily long fiber link between the transceivers themselves.
Are there any open source web browsers written in Python? If so, I would like to run it in these JavaScript python interpreters so I can browse the web.
All this talk of RAID is nonsense and doesn't apply to these drives. RAID stands for "Redundant Array of *Inexpensive* Disks". These SSD are probably bloody expensive.
Back in my grandfather's day, television sets made up for their puny screen width and height with ample depth. They truly took advantage of all three dimensions your living room had to offer. Now a days, our anemic flat panel displays are very shallow and very 2D in comparison. It's no wonder the 3D television is making a comeback.
I'm hoping these will come out with PixelQi screens, as it will make it a truly revolutionary product. Although at this point it is pure speculation, I think there is a good chance Asus has signed a deal with PixelQi. Not only do the videos on PixelQi's sites show netbooks which resembles the Eee, their site mentions the displays will be in production in the late 2009, which coincides with the introduction of this new e-Reader. PixelQi could stand to benefit from teaming up with a company such as Asus, and I bet this is what has happened (in a couple month's we'll see how well my prediction fares!)
If every person in the US would shine their laser pointers at the ABL at once, would they be able to blow it up?
Ok, I guess that would be a hard target to hit, while it was flying, but I've often wondered if everyone pointing their laser pointers at the moon simultaneously would cause it to glow visibly red.

No laptops? I guess I'll just have to bring my desktop computer and CRT into the cinema, like the Impromptu Anywhere Starbucks prank.
This is just an evil ploy to sell you a keyboard which doesn't work with the computer *you* want to be able to plug it into.
I presume having a 3D laptop would increase the depth of discussions that happen on Internet message boards...
Or not.
Just stick a bag of microwave popcorn in there along with the patient. When the popping stops, pull the patient out immediately.
The keylogger also could take periodic screenshots. Then what? If your host OS is compromised, you're screwed no matter what.

I bet they had a backup server, only that it was running on Hyper-V on the same box that contained the data itself.
How much explosive power can you pack into a bee-sized missile? I doubt being able to set off firecrackers would qualify as military firepower.

Companies who make apple juice ought to watch their backs. Heck, they should start slapping bananas on their labels just to be safe.

A true hacker runs his computer without a case, with the HDs hanging out every which way, and the motherboard resting on an old pizza box.
+3 Informative? Really? *rolls eyes*
I guess I forgot to include the "sarcasm" HTML tags.

But you have to admit, it would make for an awesome reality show.
"has sent out a notification to a listserv for task group members"
I haven't heard that word in ages -- I guess the standards documents are retrievable through the IEEE's gopher service?
I clicked Allow to see what it would do. The videos were quite funny and a good easter egg.

What about all of us with no hair?
You'll be fitted with photovoltaic toupees, whether you want it or not. Resistance is futile.

I've found that for older hardware that is running fine 24x7, the worst thing is to shut it down. It invariably fails to start up again.
