Crappy media outlets are easily manipulated. Some media outlets are masters at manipulation. How about good old honest reporters and media outlets that actually research and verify stories, and actually do their best to be unbiased and fair? Is that too much to ask?
Half these sites have regular folks providing "news items" via video, text msgs, blogs etc. For the military to hire bloggers to "manipulate" the media, well...more power to them.
[from the mid 1990's] it took [IBM] years to rebuild the brand's reputation
So, Microsoft's decline started around 2004...so, they'll be back in the top five by 2014. I'll be installing "Windows Server 2010" by 2014, and testing "SQL Server 2013" to replace my "SQL Server 2008" which I'd been running since 2010.
Are they making the decisions, or are you? Are you spoon-feeding them technical analysis, and they're signing off on it? Are you meeting with the VP's above the directors?
Sounds like open standard *Zigbee* http://zigbee.org/ networks. Been hearing about Ember http://ember.com/ chipsets and self-healing, self-discovery wireless mesh networks for a few years now. Pretty quiet as of late.
If the *new blackboxes* are too small, and they stop sending a beacon, they would be harder to find in mangled wreckage strewn across thousands of feet, or 400 feet below the surface of the water.
For a second there, I thought this news item was regarding the "New England Patriots Spygate". Perhaps the most overblown, who-gives-a-shit story of the past year. I'm sure Arlen Specter http://specter.senate.gov/public/ would much rather talk NFL football spying than dig into FBI domestic surveillance.
Maybe in a couple years I can choose from several great phones, that aren't limited by the carriers, that I can use any way I wish, with any applications, with great voice quality and great bandwidth, for only $15 per month...Is that even possible? I hope so. Probably just wishful thinking.
How come the experts cannot mathematically say for certain whether this rock will hit Mars? What's the wildcard in this calculation that injects uncertainty?
So much to worry about. The collapsing universe. An asteroid striking Earth. Global climate change. Volcanoes that erupt and block the sun. Lnadslides and earthquakes causing devastating tsunamis.
For some reason it's the "live", in-person blogging that they don't want. I'm not sure what the issue is here. Is it because many NCAA events are not broadcast, but a "blog" is a "live", or pseudo-live transcript of the event that is not otherwise being seen live? huh? What did I just say?
Your 3-year old is advanced.
My 3-year old always clicks the right mouse button and ends up with the "display properties" dialog window.
Then he smears his fingers on the LCD.
So Rufus is using his laptop to write, paint, make music, explore the internet, and talk to children from other countries.
Sounds like Rufus is a lot smarter than your kid. Figuring out all this stuff on his own. Before you know it, he'll be like his Dad, buying goods off the black market.
So, the company describing this task had their architects divide the "project" into a hundred or so pieces to be worked on separately. Then, the best designs, submitted confidentially, get picked and used the company, with some "royalties" getting paid out. The company developers combine the best of these components into the finished product...
Something just doesn't seem right here... MobSourcing, RiotCoding, I mean CrowdSourcing. Seems like a good way to get all sorts of stolen code, easter eggs, and pretty much crappy code into your codebase.
Near the beginning of the video, it looks like the guy gets a little too close to the robot's family jewels. Now, had the robot hauled off and punched the dude for getting too close to grabbin' his package, that would have been impressive!

Australia is not a "despotic regime". But, it is halfway around the world.
Australia is indeed "polite, sharing-and-caring" though.
This is all TROLL worthy.
Has anyone created a prototype "light bulb" with diode lasers yet?
I want to hear more about these laser diodes.
It is useless. I just wish I had thought of doing it first. $$$
Ahhh yes, the "DECSYSTEM-2020". Brings back fond memories...

Exactly. Why the heck is government supposed to mandate broadband access to everyone?
Electricity and Water are basic needs. Broadband is not.
So what we have here are tiny little nano-bots writing onto a chalcogenide-based material.
Agreed, same old hype. Save it for when you can actually announce that "we discovered an alien being on a distant planet".
Of course, the wack-jobs believe this already happened, and the government is keeping it a secret. That's for another day...

I'd like to hear more details. Elaborate please.

There will be no revival. Too many environmental restrictions to building such plants!
Not in my back yard!!

I suppose.

MIT probably has an army of free-flying, solar powered, 1/2 inch wingspan flies, zipping around the Harvard campus, taking miniature photographs.
Or has MIT been outdone by Harvard on this one?
