Sony's decision to kill the unit in its home market and reduce the rate at which it's investing in future OLED TV development has been perceived in some corners as a judgment on the long-term feasibility of OLED technology.

And now introducing: Perception from some corners!
The National Institute of Oceanography states that in studies the sea level of India's coast were about 100m lower about 14k years ago, so extrapolating (a dangerous game I know =) we could say it may be possible that at some point the voyage to Crete was either walkable, or a very short sea voyage.
So you're saying that the oceans didn't even exist 1,529,360 years ago!? I know, snarky, but I couldn't resist. Hey, you said it was a dangerous game!
I would say it is because they are in an environment where they are being bullied
You don't see that kind of shit in the workplace, at least not the in-your-face kind of thing: adults would never stand for it. It's weird how it is tolerated in a child's environment. "Boys will be boys" and such.
I was naturally a nerd and would've continued down that path happily into a career as a scientist, but I had to become "cool" to fit in. I know that I didn't really "have to" and that it was my choice, but I believe that an environment that was more conducive to the brighter students would have led a few more of us in that direction.
My thoughts exactly. A dolphin, the mammal with one of the largest brains out there, is NOT smarter then a human.
Shows what you know!
From the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons.
and...
The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner', but in fact the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish.
Man, I would love to get the Droid, but I had Verizon. I'd rather shoot myself in the head than go back to that nightmare of a company. Don't get me wrong, I have AT&T and I really hate how they've spied on us, but this is a case of choosing Satan himself or one of his lowly henchmen who - when he fucks you in the ass - will at least use some lube.

You can't "cause" an earthquake. They are caused by tectonic pressure. You may be able to adjust the timing of one, though.
You are absolutely right. How about a bunch of small quakes rather than one large one. I live in Salt Lake City which geologists say lies on a large fault that is due for a large quake. I'd much rather have a planned quake, even if it was fairly large rather than a huge unexpected one. I guarantee that if that happens I'll know people who'll die. I just really hope that when it does happen it isn't anyone too close to me. Selfish I know, but aren't we all? I just wonder why nobody in that village seems to have thought that maybe he just saved their asses.
JAKARTA (OP) - Indonesian octopi have discovered a scientist in Australia that uses rubber flippers on its feet for propulsion in water - unusually sophisticated behavior that the researchers believe is the first evidence of intelligence in a vertebrate animal.
I want to see the land that is covered in New Zeas! I've been to a place that was covered in Engs. Also, I've heard of a place that was covered in Ires, but I don't believe it. What would be really weird is to see a place that was completely infested with Pos. How about one that was saturated in Scots. One with a bunch of Switzers would just be fuckin' kwazy! I don't even know what one would look like if it was covered in Thais. How about one covered in Swazis. All of this shit would be nuts. In fact, I think that you could call it "nutation".
I'm well fucking aware of what it means to motion btw.
Greenland used to be GREEN with vegetation. It is presently covered in ice.
Yeah, and Iceland used to be covered in ice. It is presently GREEN with vegetation! Fables are SO cool!

Particularly when we can't promise that the nations that compete with us on the global stage (*cough* China *cough*) will do the same.
I work for a global mining giant, so I really can't be considered a tree hugger, but China is starting to kick our ass on green technology. Maybe it is inevitable, but I really believe that if we implement some of the policies sooner rather than later - and we know they're coming - that we will be at least as competitive if not the leader in these things. I really love this country (the US). Damn, the better it does the better me and my children do.!

Oh, and as a Canadian, I'd like to apologize to the rest of the world for Nickleback.
No need: Glenn Gould and Rush more than make up for the sin that is Nickleback.
... the project is no longer being actively developed.
You might even say that Ubiquity is not Ubiquitous.

Banker trojans have become a serious problem
Look at how much they stole from the American taxpayer! Oh wait, you're talking about computers.
Speaking of Trojans, they didn't even lube it up before they put it in our ass!
Why is Sony throwing in the towel now?
They're probably not. This is just speculation.

But just because you don't know anything about a subject doesn't mean you have to have opinions about it.
I know there's a joke in here somewhere that includes the words "Uh dude," and "Slashdot," but I can't quite make it out.
That video is so funny! Laughed so hard I cried first time I saw it.
I know that it's good to for a corporation to explore new avenues, but sometimes I get the feeling that Google has ADHD.
The 90s called, they want their "x" back.
At least they didn't call it "iFinity"!
1. Change name to Xfinity.
2. ???
3. Profit!
What a great business plan!

Or... sociopaths get ostracized. The herd protects itself from wierdos.
Uhh... you wouldn't happen to be a bully would you? Something's telling me that you might just be one! :-D
Man, that is some weird science!

In addition to their message of security the authors somehow manage to interject a discussion about religion so who knows what the real goal was.
Is anyone hiring professional trolls? These guys must be rejects from Microsoft's FUD division.
Its called a terameter. What is the point of the metric system if you don't use the other scales?
Plain ol' familiarity. Same reason that I would say that I weigh 90 kilograms instead of 0.09 megagrams. Well, maybe that and what it implies. :-O
