Quote from article: "The theory is still largely speculation, shored up by seductive anecdotes about Asperger's appearing unusually commonly in MIT alums and their children..."
Let us know when you have more than speculation and we will be quite interested.
By the way, I was diagnosed with Asperger's so this isn't a troll post. Theory becoming something that gets peoples' minds moving in a direction that can cause false categorization of ideas is normal but not newsworthy.
Actually, yeah, it is. Fear, panic, and fascination keep the money flowin':)
Please folks - If you're going to bring this to our attention, how about leaving your obvious biases aside and tell the whole story so we can be truly informed?

Cite your statement and you may have a good pointer to something that's going big.
Why not? It's not like patenting something dcades after it was actually invented by someone else is unusual..
Correct.
It's not 'performing the act' that's something that's considered "wrong" or "unethical" in patent-hungry individuals' minds, it's 'getting caught' that matters.
Net earnings went down; one of the corp. heads had a magic idea that's worked for other companies in the past... That idea was astounding and looked like it would be the coolest thing ever. The idea was...... ------^;)
You cannot teach someone when they are not willing to learn. If a child doesn't want to learn they should be expelled from school and given working papers. Why punish those that are there to learn with disruptive people?
There wouldn't be as many disruptive people if their brains could be captured in a way where things become interesting, much like the teachers' pets that learn very well and connect with them.
If there were classes geared toward the different types of learning, kids may be very much more interested in doing so.
I didn't pay attention in school because the teachers couldn't explain one damn thing they were teaching - except English. That teacher explained everything to me very well. I've not mastered it but I'm DAMN close.;)
Now, having said that, I'll also express that I'm visual-spatial. If something isn't taught in the fashion of a drawing/bodily expression/etc., it makes no sense to me. The words that are used that I can extrapolate into something visual work quite well, but it's very hard to meet people that can actually do it. When they do, it's second-nature and easy for them.
I'll quit typing because I don't think anyone is interested in any more... but the above covers that I consider to be useful. Take it or leave it, but hey... Isn't that what these types of commenting forums are for?
Who modded this insightful? It's completely unsupported parrotted tripe.
Let's save our mod points for comments that we don't already get from low-budget 15 second tv commercials.
Probably someone with an opinion that many others have. That's why there is moderation on./ in the first place. It's set up so there isn't a single point of control.
Not to state the obvious or anything... I'm just sayin'.
Yeah.. There's actually video footage of teachers in kindergarten-2nd grade classes that have out-of-control kids doing physically violent or destructive things in their classroom; the teachers actually hold their arms out at a distance just so it's really clear that they're not touching the kid.
Great way to make yourself popular and build trust.
I noticed that there was some wrapper around an application that I found VIA GOOGLE on download.com. I just laughed it off at the time but now that I see a./ article on it, I'll speak. I wouldn't use it because I'm not a freaking idiot. I found the name of the app and copy-pasted it into the Google search form in another tab.
I now (jokingly) place copyright on the concept of a browser plugin that allows the user to highlight a program name, right-click, and have it "Search Google" for it. Oh, wait..... Heh:)
Anyway, I'm rambling. Point of the post: I refuse to use them again. Ever. Even if they undo what they've done. Trust is down the toilet now.

I'm so used to seeing "CmdrTaco" on so many posts and in the FAQs that not seeing it is sort of (in a way, kind of... a bit) like withdrawal :)
If you (or anyone else who knows) reads this, who's going to be managing the site / picking posts / picking posters / etc from this point forward?

Now you know why they did it.
Let's start the chant....
Phase 1: Tease.
Phase 2: Deal with customers who are both pissed off and confused.
Phase 3: PROFIT!
Let's go, team!

Too bad they don't have a search function.
No, I'm not biased; this is posted to make a statement about the direction of Google, which is also not biased. Just observation.

What do you mean by "manufacturer"?
Manufacturing of actual hardware components (parts) or assembly of already-manufactured parts (components) on the whole-unit scale; hard drives, memory, power supp., etc?
Cite your statement and you may have a good pointer to something that's going big.
When I say that, I mean "own up and back your position, just like Splab". Posted too fast. D'oh!
...anonymous...
Connection with Apple, maybe? I'm just saying.
Even if you want to say something that's controversial, don't play the anonymous card. Own up and back your position.
Why not? It's not like patenting something dcades after it was actually invented by someone else is unusual..
Correct.
It's not 'performing the act' that's something that's considered "wrong" or "unethical" in patent-hungry individuals' minds, it's 'getting caught' that matters.
What? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you. I was being bombarded with too many ads to hear what you had to say about financial details. :>
...and complaining bloody hell when they are confronted with the idea of their performance being measured.
What's that you say? You mean..... Being graded?
That's so unfair and a violation of their "constitushinul wrights"!
lol
When I tried to play Asteroids, it took me to my facebook page and asked for permission... I said no.
I'm disappointed in myself. I actually didn't immediately think that this is one of the things they would do. Ugh. How could I not?
Thanks for the info. This will be passed around at work tomorrow, dat's fer sher.

I patented that last week. :>
What Apple did was adding a mix of marketing and design.
and lawyers.
I wonder what the cost differential of a legal team is -vs- the additional profit from non-stop IP rights suits and penis waving....?
Never looked that up before and haven't ever done true comparison. Anyone?
