Are people these days really so reliant on
computers that they can't walk away for 5 minutes to go to the bathroom or go to the fridge for food, or watch a movie, or drive down the freeway, or take a flight? I have a computer, but it only gets used once or twice a day, for no more than 5 minutes at a time. Makes me wonder how people survived 10 years ago, or even before the widespread growth of computer usage. Sad really.
Insert anything that people do frequently, or even infrequently in public, and there will always be someone annoyed by it. Like reply to Slashdot posts, for instance.:)
Coming to the Staples Center! Stare in amazement as the Giants of Anime take on the Monsters of Rock! Can the vixens of Sailor Moon survive in the Spiked Cage of Death for three minutes with the hellcats of L7? Cringe in horror as the KISS Army takes a full frontal assault from the Red Ribbon Army!
As allways, we'll sell you the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge!
If it's really like the Jetson's house, you just press the button on the side of the couch, and it folds up like a briefcase. Then you just pick it up by it's handle, step onto the moving sidewalk and wait for the clear tube to suck you up into the living room.
...that blue moons are also when new Smurfs are born! (Anyone else remember Baby Smurf?) The series went downhill after that; just like Growing Pains and Family Ties when they added a baby.
I'm just happy to finally see a trailer that doesn't include 3/4 of the plot points of the movie. After the last day-glo sidewalk chalkfest Batman movie, I thought I would never be interested in the franchise again. This has turned my mind, a little.
Say what you will, this still beats Sony's latest entry. in the remote-control realm on price, if not on coolness, functionality, ease of use, form factor or support.
I'd rather he had a couple of close games. When he wins with 2 or 3x the amount of the next closest contestant, it's easy to claim that Jeopardy! is just putting him against stupid people to keep him going.
Skagen, Denmark to Algeciras, Spain is only ~2100 miles (~3400km) driving, but in that drive you've gone through some of the largest population centers in Europe. Travelling that far in the US won't even get you from Seattle to Chicago, and that drive includes some of the most godforsaken empty land you've ever seen (Wall Drug, anyone?).
It's simply more of a challange to balance coverage over such a large area. Granted, you'd think that they'd be able to cover downtown Chicago pretty well, but then that takes capital away from the buildout covering the 50 families in Cerro Gordo.
This does sound about as effective as the thing that spit out little paper tickets in Demolition Man. If you're not going to pay attention to the warnings, all it becomes is a nuisance that will have its speaker disconnected. Once this happens in enough cars, "they" will announce that tracking of these tags will be enabled to make sure that they're not tampered with.
How about a device that automatically switches phones to "vibrate" when they enter a certain radius? Right now that would require all the handset manufacturers to agree on a single standard (good luck), but with the new Smart Phones and Symbian-powered handsets, it shouldn't be to hard to just write a program that accomplishes this.

Oh, OK.

They didn't explain why they would have to go back later and remove the titanium scaffold.
Because they needed to make room to pour in the molten adamantium.
You've just described every Benny Hill-inspired chase dream I've ever had. Where do I pay for this virtual wonder?
So in other words, "The more you tighten your grip...the more game controllers will slip through your fingers"?
I just tried this new super coffee, and it's like a koala crapped a rainbow in my brain! They should call it Stimutacs.

Boy am I sleepy.

That reads like something chiseled on a tablet by a prehistoric bird and delivered to the Flintstones in Bedrock.
The first thing I thought was:

I think that there are a lot of New Orleans police that would argue that a horse is just as effective at moving through crowds.

I go to Wal Mart once a year for my $2.97 gallon jar of pickles.
OK.
What's the ISBN number for The Daily Show?
It's 0836253256 .

A tool like this sounds exactly what Robert Cringely was describing after the death of his son, Chase, from SIDS.
As a parent, I'd broadcast my son's vitals 24/7 on MTV if it meant helping other parents save their children from things like this.
True, but the developers of Battlefield 1942 didn't roll out a Hitler or Mussolini look-alike to promote their game either.
AT&T Wireless already offers this on their mMode service. There's a picture of what it looks like in this forum post.
At least we know there will be a co-starring role for Matt Damon in this one...
