    It seems that google has moved firmly into politics. I wonder if as a kid good ol' Sergey Brinn would have ever imaged how much of a difference he would make in the world.

    You prevent deaths with condoms, birth control pills, and poor oral hygiene - by preventing the lives from starting.

    And you'll have a hard time explaining that to your young child.

    Why? My parents did, and you know what? I'm not one of these consumer types that are screwing with our economy. I know the value of a dollar, and you know what? If it's a choice between crap and nothing, I will choose nothing.

  9. Re:Is there any there, there? on Sponge-Like "Swelling Glass" Absorbs Toxins in Water · · Score: 5, Funny

    They should sprinkle a few hundred tons on Wall Street. Imagine all the scum they could soak up there!

    Like this one? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerglove

    I remember hacking one of these as a kid when "Virtual Reality" first came out, and we did the same thing. Bucketloads of fun. Nintendo should probably review one of their previous commercial failures. At least they won't have any patenting issues. ;)

  25. Re:No fair way to write regulations? on "Loud Commercial" Legislation Proposed In US Congress · · Score: 1

    Just an anecdote, but I once had a tv campaign run for one of our products, and the entire ad was silent. Seemed to work a treat as we haven't had an advertisement that was as effective since.

    Silence is deafening I guess.
