Coming from a country, where "organic" food has been mainstream for many years, I find those prices unbelievably low. 3 dollar per lb of organic turkey? I guess the standards for "organicness" are rather low, as an organic turkey here (in Austria) costs about 3 times as much.
that was pretty much the only character i wanted to learn more about - but WHY does this creature have two identical screens on his face?
the timeline thing seems problematic too - it just looks too "modern" and advanced. you would be hard pressed to tell that this is supposed to happen before TNG and voyager.
also: the plot was so forgettable. i can hardly remember why anyone did what they did when they did it.
i still think the increased production cost of branching movies dont really improve the viewing experience that much. interactivity is so limited and feels detached.
conventional games (provided they are well made) are way more engaging and provide a deeper experience - especially from a educational point of view.
no android, no pc (website) - only on ios, consoles and smart tvs.
as i'm not planning on getting any one of those i wont see much interactivity with my netflix account (movies revert back to a linear version where it automatically pics the first option on every choice).
Non-american here (from Austria). Isn't it a crime to beat your kids in the US, too. Here beating children is a SERIOUS offense - and rightly so. And i'm not seeing us doing so badly on an economic and social level. It's usually a better idea to spur children's will to get better education by making them curious - not afraid...
things like a missing line in a file can happen easily.
what i find much more disturbing, is that microsoft had their worldmap (the one, displayed in the time settings) wrong for years.
from windows 95 up to (and including) windows xp this map had poland entirely erased! instead of the large country the map showed sea.
here's a link to a screenshot of the map in question.

however, somebody like madonna will ALLWAYS play at concerts that are sold out - the demand (10s of thousands of people wanting a ticket) is obviously much higher than the supply (one concert in any given area). so.... your point is valid - your math is not:)
i think the most interesting question to answer is not "what" it was, but if it's actually a natural phenomenon at all. I'm pretty sure most of you know the various estimates of the number of advanced civilisations in the universe..........
i seriously think that astronomers should at least look at the possibility, that not all stellar observations have a "natural" origin - a civilisation near our solar system may even think of our sun as a source of strange natural radio waves...
dont worry, you dont have to focus your eyes on that device sitting directly in front of your eye... it probably works just like when looking through the view finder of a digital camera, where the focal point is also much further out than the lc display of the finder.
i just compared the amount of spam i get "snail-mailed" to that i get by email:
i get like 1 letter (usually bills or finacial stuff) every other day, but i get about six "spam-snail-mails" a day. that's a ratio of 1:12 - looking at the emails i got this week i have to say that my elecronic inbox doesn't recieve that much spam: i got 332 "normal" emails since monday, plus 150 spam mails - ratio 2:1! my email inbox receives 24 times less spam than my postal inbox.
i'm pretty sure the "survey" did not take the amount of spam einstein and darwin recieved into account - and im absolutely certain that they too did get spam-mails... (THAT survey would actually be much more interesting!)
What if you - being a "real" journalist or a blogger - just take a wild guess at what apple's (or any other company's) next products/steps/strategies might be, but put it in a form as if you had an informant and knew for sure? Could you be sued for being right...? After all some product launches where easy to predict - even without any leaked information (the iMac mini being a perfect example here).
From the nearest power switch to your outlet at home the voltage actually drops a little - this is perfectly normal. You may even see that the actual voltage of various outlets in your appartment (or house) varies by a couple of volts.
Most electric devices already take this into account and work "best" at 220 Volts (here in Austria) even though the main power-line has a voltage of 230 Volts.
"dalying" seems to be one of the cornerstones of apples business. they where doing it with the G5 and they are doing it now with the iPod Mini:
I am an IT-journalist (biggest austrian computer-mag) and ordered a review sample fo the G5 when it was introduced. After 2 months of "we just sent you a sample" we finally got it.
Now it's the same with the iPod Mini. We ordered it, they say we'll have it "the next day", nothing happens.
Apple is creating an artificially high demand for these products by keeping the supply as low as possible. For other businesses it would be a severe problem if they were unable to deliver their product - but apple is actually cashing in on it!
I can only take my hat off to such strategic business competence.
Maybe I missed something, but as far as i see there are no links to those mars-pictures in the article...
Does anynody know where i can take a look at these "findings" myself?
Just "install" one of these...

as her name is Michelle Ong (credited in the end of the article) the assumption that she is female and asian seems valid.

well you have to decide: either know where your money is, or how much it is...

just duck and cover!
