For men without a partner, help may be at hand - in the form of a virtual girlfriend.
Yeah right. I don't think the company is concerned with `helping' single men as much as sucking the money out of their pockets while making them feel even more lonely.
Sun sued Microsoft for its use of their corrupted non-Sun JVM. Then Microsoft counter-sued Sun for technologies in Java that are patented by Microsoft.
Of course then Sun counter-counter-sued for technologies in.Net that they have patened.
They end dup reaching a settlement where Microsoft paid out some money and now they both get free unlimited use of each-other's patent portfolio.
This word `defensive,' I do not think it means what you think it means.
The only book I ever read that was in color was The Neverending Story. The text was green if the action took place inside the book world and red if it took place inside the real world. It was an interesting device, and cut out the need for a lot of explanatory text, but damn it was uncomfortable on the eyes.
The 'intellectual look' is only a bonus for people with thin lenses. I have horrible vision and when I used to wear glasses the lenses were thick enough that my eyes looked beady and strange.
When my glasses get to coke-bottle thickness, I plan to wear contacts and glasses to keep the intellectual look. : )
I read their book in college and, though it is a bit pie-in-the-sky, I thought it raised some interesting ideas. One of their projects was to build a clock that could last a thousand years. When I moved to London one of the first things I did was go to see the thousand-year clock in the National Science Museum. There it was, it all it's broken-non-time-telling glory. About a month ago I checked up on it again. Status: still not fixed : \
Apple are you listening? Your the only one who could pull it off.
While not the same, in the WWDC Jobs said that.mac sync will be able to sync any data across many computers. It's not same, but it's a step in the right direction to be able to have your desktop and laptop stay clones of each other.
If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search. I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor.

But unlike other computer games, it seems that cash, not skill, will enable players to climb the different levels in the game.
Er... so... how is this a game and not simply handing money over to Hong Kong company?

$0 in base anything is still zero digits. But $699 looks damn good in base 2: $1,010,111,011
...and will probably turn into a huge flame war with comments.

How do RFID fit into this? Well, imagine a clock that vibrates when you are about to touch some ethically questionable item!
So when wouldn't it vibrate?

What kind of solution is that? Should we make plane tickets cost $250,000 a seat to stop terrorism?
And you are...? :)

What about media that cost tenths of a cent?

The name you are looking for is Quiz Show, and it is an interesting movie.
The best part of that article is Nikola Tesla's thoughts on Thomas Edison
