If this passes in 'two party consent' states. I'd start filing lawsuits against the traffic cameras. They didn't have your consent to take your picture. Depending on how letter of the law the judge reads this, they may become illegal.
There are apps now that will stream your video live from your phone to their website, so even if the camera gets pulled/trashed, the recording is still there.
Except pushing too hard is cyclic. Every generation of immigrants has an ebb and flow until everyone is "American".
20 years ago it would have been Asians that excelled: Generation 1) Steps off the 'boat' and busts ass to make better life for kids, forcing kids to work hard. Generation 2) Remembers parents busting ass and does the same. Generation N) Always grown up in the 'good life' and doesn't really think working hard is required, ends up middle of the road.
I've seen it happen with African Americans. I have friends that own some property in Idlewild, MI, which from the stories I've heard from their grandparents used to be "The place" back in the day with 3+ night clubs, etc. Now every lake is depressing. 1920s era houses in disrepair, nothing mowed, houses being foreclosed, because this generation doesn't have any clue how hard their grandparents had to work to build it up. - One of the biggest 'surprises' (that I joked about to Indian friends) after my travels to India was that there are dumb Indians. I traveled Sikkim for a week before the rest of India. I'd say 90% of Indians I met had no clue where I was talking about. With one 'college student', when I stated that the US was much larger than India and I could still at least point in the general direction of all 50 states he proceeded to argue that India was much larger than the US.
In the US my interactions have only been with Indians (and most foreigners) either at a higher school of education or at my job, where they have to have a Masters or PhD to get candidacy. Meaning only the top % of best and brightest even make it to US shores. All the Americans I work with that have kids all are letting their kids do 'normal' stuff, what ever they want. All the 0th gen Chinese and Indians have them enrolled in academic stuff.
Nature AND nurture are both working in these kids favor. I'd be more interested in the statistics of 1st vs 2nd vs 3rd generation of ANY culture in these and other 'academic' tests.
Finally, I wouldn't really consider a spelling bee the pinnacle of academic achievement, it's rote memorization.
Although he loses some street cred for not using Dogcow Especially since it was used for print dialogs.
The image of the dogcow was used to show the orientation and color of the paper in Mac OS page setup dialog boxes. HCI engineer Annette Wagner made the decision to use the dog from the Cairo font as a starting point for the page graphic. Annette edited the original font and created a larger version with spots more suitable for demonstrating various printing options. The new dog graphic had a more bovine look, making it arguably less clear as to what animal it was intended to be, and after the print dialog was released the name "dogcow" came into use.
I showed a friend how to 'install' apps with this. He was blown away, no more typing in something archaic. Magazines could link directly to the App in their reviews. Google has also been including them for Checksums on code.google.com

When in the course of phone maker events it becomes necessary for one to dissolve the carrier lockin which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal availability to which T-Mobile, Verizon and Sprint entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of users requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to that separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all phone users are created equal, that they are endowed by Apple with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are bandwidth, throughput and not the pursuit of coverage. -- That to secure these rights, contracts are instituted amongst Apple, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of contract becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Contract, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Cellphone Contracts long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Contract, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of Apple and iPhone users; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Carrier availability. The history of the present AT&T is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these users.

Granted the inevitable human rebellion will have a surprisingly easy time fighting these things, I mean just hide up a sufficiently steep slope and the apparently top heavy ting will tumble over backwards.
If it's as smart as the Roomba (from the same company) I can see a huge increase in popularity used couches in Afghanistan and Iraq. Maybe some fake stair cases or virtual walls
Gone to is the nostalgia of seeing who checked out the book in front of you. I remember in elementary school having kids finding books that their older siblings or even parents teachers checked out. In their original 5th grade hand writing no less.
Neither model is expected to hit the market until Q1 2011, with prices tipped at between $399 and $499.
At which point the iPad will have been out for an entire year. Every one else that can will have jumped on the bandwagon. If I *wanted* a *Pad, I'd go and get an iPad. I'm not waiting until Q1 of next year for something.

That's not how these states are reading the law. With the helmet Cam I doubt that it had any audio, or any usable audio.

They're month to month, no contract plans. "Oh, your June plan has expired, here are the prices for July".
Hacking resources on OS X is almost as easy... if not easier. Almost everything is in tif, png or other resource files.
(As part of a bet I created the first "theme" for OS X way back in the day.)
Same goes for almost any widget in any application, just find the image resource and edit it.
You can still load 'extensions' without rebooting (although you do need admin access).

The earliest live 'iRobot' trade mark was filed September 2002.
There is one from Nov 1999 that is 'dead'. Both from MA, so I'm not sure if it's the same company.
The iMac was released in 1998, the iBook in 1999.

Skyhook wireless is one major one. It's what the iPod Touch and original iPhone used. It's what Snow Leopard / Location services uses.
You do get a popup asking if you want to enable it.
I've been to one recently and I haven't seen any Windows Mobile devices anywhere in the store.
Isn't the suicide rate for FoxConn employees somewhat less than the population of China as a whole?
Getting a job at FoxConn would actually reduce your tendency to commit suicide.
