Don't get me wrong, it looks like a fun project; but not really close to Wipeout - the vehicles there are, more or less, something between high speed hovercrafts and aircraft flying in ground effect / ekranoplans. I don't really see translating that to a small RC wheeled vehicle....
Similarly with control - not only I don't remember many examples of PS1 in cabinets; most importantly, a steering wheel wasn't the Wipeout controller - that title goes to Negcon.
It doesn't sound like it's meant to bring down some random spacejunk with which it collides (which would mostly pass through it after all, at best / if impacts won't produce more debris), just to bring down a satellite to which it is attached. Not the only effort of such kind
If looking at quite prominent, decently known & high volume - certainly Nook. Hey, "non-phone Android devices", not necessarily "tablets" (though there are not very good small fries, mentioned on Wiki list of Android devices; with decent ones probably coming with 3.0)
Might be not such a big of a problem - if things like UI content blocker in Opera work fine now, they shouldn't have many problems with HTML5. Especially since most people will not play with it.
I wonder what this diversity, still mostly fragmented market, will turn up with in the end. Because conglomeration of course is taking place, but in a more gradual, more organic way - which can perhaps give some valuable lessons about the same process in less local / overseas processes. Perhaps in some contrast - large US entities, originating & benefitting from one fairly monolithic market, fairly often don't seem to really know what to do with some big overseas aquisitions...
But perhaps it would be better to just stop caring about all of this and move in with Sami...
Vikings, sure; but the rest you mention are far, far from "not even considered debated"...
(and not even really a "spin" or "better at publicity" - it's just that few places in Europe get hungry of new realms and whole continent became better integrated, with better communication)
Only one type of tools is quite similar; no other similarities were found. And no evidence of ice/seafaring in Solutrean culture.
Mitochondrial DNA that you think of, haplogroup X, is indeed semi-common also around Mediterranean...but not only N. America has quite distant variants, also the intermediate ones are found in Siberia. Which fits perfectly with the rest of evidence about Bering crossing.
They were simply too late with Zune to change anything; at a time when mobile phones outsold dedicated audio players (of which, on the larer scale, iPod was never a majority, so not exactly a total loss - though it didn't matter much in regards to MS, in how they limited themselves mostly to the US with Zune) for 2 or 3 years already.
Development is less open, there's less use of it outside from the "intended" Android areas - is that so hard to notice?
Interesting thing with that efficient JVM, a large part of Google I/O Android sessions focused on helping with power management, asynchronous programming and performance; things often adressed elsewhere.
If by "their own shitty one" you mean S40 (which BTW exists parallel to Symbian for most of its time), then you might be surprised to hear how especially this one is very much valued by people for its UI, etc. (maybe because it was actually internal Nokia effort, unlike Symbian); and is the most popular mobile platform on the planet, greatly contributing to close to 5 billion mobile subscribers worldwide / why Opera Mini is #1 mobile web browser (by site visits, despite many of its users surely being frugal about data transfer costs). Nokia is good like that at pushing new means of communication to the world. Also, since you apparently don't realize, it works like this: what has been for some time in given segment, after a while goes to lower one. S40 isn't going anywhere, Symbian isn't going anywhere; they will be just now entry-level and middle segment (well, with S30 probably retained for some time for absolute lowest-end), respectively. Seems you might be surprised with their future sales...
If only the source wasn't branched off from the Linux kernel tree. Also, you need to look carefuly at that google skills of yours - MeeGo functions in a very open way. Many things which Nokia does are open (Qt - this one is fun, Symbian nowadays too)...which is a bit beside the point anyway, since they just kickstarted it (with Intel - who has probably more interest in MeeGo; Android will primarily target what's entrenched with it already, ARM; but "mobile Atom" can essentially debut with MeeGo, and it will need fine-tuning whole stack to make that Atom shine on a device so much constrained by its battery; plus Nokia already had phones with x86...)
In related field, MeeGo will be big if only because GENIVI Alliance says it will - not a prediction by some analysts, but by few big automotive companies themselves: GM, PSA Peugeot Citroen, BMW, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Renault, Nissan, Tata; plus of course Intel and a whole lot of software and hardware companies
And tell me, how a company evidently valuing openess, also with around 36% of the marketshare (more than the next 3, perhaps 4, combined), would be better off partnering with a company paranoid about control and with 2%?
Actually, as far as economic lessons go regarding all that wealth - they happened much sooner. Dumping locally so much gold greatly devalued it, resulting is some mess.
That would assume/. actually has ads... (like somebody else put it once - it explains how/. can take ad offers even from MS, etc.; almost nobody will see it anyway, but the money gets paid)
Yeah, keep telling yourself that - it's not like the EC fines mostly, by far, European companies; and how fining large overseas ones gets more news coverage...
The amounts "extorted" are a pocket change even for most national budgets of EU countries, also for Greece, nvm the EU budget. But of course companies keeping more of the money obtained illegally, by abusing the market, is a fine thing - after all, the "Brussels" surely keeps any incoming funds (those from memberstates absolutely dwarfing any other) to themselves...nope, nothing happens with those funds afterwards.
Could be a positive, for once, of still fragmented market. Might be quite a bit harder to control it, independent movements more easily gaining prominence.
So...by that logic it would still be nost that irrelevant in a hypothethical scenario where RIM has 1%, Apple has 1%, and Android 98%...but uniformly distributed across many devices from 100 manufacturers?
BTW, Nokia has more marketshare than the next 3, perhaps 4, combined. Questioning their sanity would only come to play if they'd willingly give up pursuing their own way in such situation.

Where is...almost everything?

"CubeSail" for example; soon available for deployment - http://www2.surrey.ac.uk/mediacentre/press/2010/26099_a_mission_to_clear_dangerous_debris_from_space.htm
Should make some nicely visible light show from time to time...

On the bright side, they would actually need their environment that we're providing.
For now.

Lawyers are the ones who primarily benefit from lawsuit, not consumers.
Chrome seems to be utilised more and more in that role recently...

In quite a bit more. Apart from (obviously ;) ) tablets, there's also a team of few major car manufacturers.
(and you know, with how FB/Flash/etc. games are taking the world by storm for some time, are in realiy a big part of "PC gaming")
...not to mention cases, back stickers, etc.
So, you''ve just said that this whole AppStore thing (however it would be slightly in shackles) is just a fad, got it...
...but then ignoring non-phone Android devices is fine?
So...by that logic it would still be nost that irrelevant in a hypothethical scenario where RIM has 1%, Apple has 1%, and Android 98%...but uniformly distributed across many devices from 100 manufacturers?

If it exceeds 100%, then...it will exceed 100%. Just like overall mobile phone penetration in many/most(?) developed places.
Quite a bit more than 3%; size of the map area not served doesn't follow anywhere near that close the percentage of population served.
