"If all of the electricity you used in your lifetime was nuclear, the amount of waste that would be added up would fit in a Coke can." That's from Steward Brand. I was curious about that fact after reading your post, so poked around on Google and found his TED speech here, with interactive transcript.
When I hear "giant squid," I think of a... giant squid. Per Wikipedia: "Giant squid can grow to a tremendous size: recent estimates put the maximum size at 13 metres (43 ft) for females and 10 metres (33 ft) for males from caudal fin to the tip of the two long tentacles (second only to the colossal squid at an estimated 14 metres (46 ft), one of the largest living organisms)."
True, true. And actually, it sounds like it might make for a perfect movie viewing device if you're over at a friend's place. I found a little more information about the projector here: http://www.gadgetvenue.com/fujitsu-f04b-dual-keyboard-projector-phone-11123400/. 2 hours of video at the highest brightness? Yes please!
"If using the keyboard half of the phone to make or receive a call it's possible to use the top half of the display to, for example, check e-mail or take a picture." It seems like if you can check email while making a call, texting while on a call shouldn't be that much different.
From TFA: "Fujitsu also plans to offer an optional projector unit that can be clipped onto the bottom of the phone in place of the keyboard to project images on a nearby flat surface." Really? Doesn't this seem a bit much for a phone? Or is there a demand I don't know about to have a projector on your phone? I guess it *could* be useful for someone making a presentation of some sort, but I'd think a computer or an actual projector would be better..
Or at least a part of Netflix on PS3 sometime in the future. I don't think it'd be that hard to add Blu-ray quality movies to the online queue. The only issue that might stop it from happening would be the bandwidth needed to transfer a Blu-ray quality movie.
Definitely. I'll tolerate the intros, which aren't really that bad. Oh hey, I can start the DVD and let it play through to the main menu while I go make popcorn or something for the movie. Plus the special features that you usually get on a DVD. Never saw those on tapes.
But who's really going to pay the price of a Blu-ray disc to play the game demo, even if they REALLY want to? I mean sure, if its on the same disc as a film you'd buy anyway... but to buy Terrible Parody Movie 9 to play the demo of the ohmygodsweetjesusawesome Halo (or any other highly popular game) game coming out the next spring... no.
I agree that Blizzard should have enough resources to blow the patent out of the water, but if Microsoft ended up settling... would Blizzard stand a chance? Or do you maybe think Microsoft took the easy, hassle free way out, and just paid to license the patent without extending the trial any longer?
this Paltalk company could end up making a LOT of money trying to enforce their patent. If they've already gotten a settlement from Microsoft, what's to stop them from doing the same to every company that makes an online game? They're already going after Blizzard and the others in TFA, but what about other companies? Would say, a company that runs an online poker game be a valid target? You *are* being shown the same 'digital environment' as others at the same time, even if it is just a poker table. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.
We got rid of the Tuscan Chicken sandwich to make room for the Pesto Roma Club sandwich last year. We do still have everything needed to make the sandwich, but we just don't have the pesto mayonnaise that goes on it.

I think you misunderstand how larger government woks projects are run, and why.
Not if he's Chinese.
Sadly it's even spelled right in the fucking summary.
Hahaha. Thanks for the laugh, good sir.

Glad we've got our time frames together.
hmmmm perhaps i am :)

Well if you can trip people up with it, then hey. I ain't gonna stop ya. Might hurt though. :P
