Overtaking Apple (and their yesterday's news [badly suppressed yawn] no-button Magic Mouse) in the inner lane is... Microsoft with their no-mouse-mouse!
At that speed he could finish something like the 2005 Paris-Dakar race in just under 15 hours and 10 minutes - unless, of course, he had a nature call underway...
It's funny how they were able to think up this quite cool technology use but then manage to get their explanatory graphics wrong. At 0:40 in their Youtube clip, they show the shockwaves travelling out from the sensors and then intersect at the impact location. That is, of course, the exact opposite of what is really happening.
'We simply cannot accept terms that fail to appropriately and fairly compensate recording artists, songwriters, labels and publishers for the value they provide,' Warner said in a statement.

... this software has been designed to make aesthetic judgments -- after training. So... these "computer scientists" call up loads of model agencies and strip bars and ask for loads of beautiful girls to stop by "the lab" - all in the name of science? I bet the next version of their sortware will rate naked bodies. And I bet that also this time male bodies will, for some obscure and yet very convenient reason, also be unquantifiable and thus forcing them to look only a naked girls.
Even Ferris Bueller couldn't have come up with a ploy this shrewd.
How is Europe so completely backwards on this issue? Every pair of ears that listens to the songs is a pair of ears that listens to the ads as well, and those ads pay the bills. I would think the radio stations and music labels would be GLAD to have people listening to them in workplaces and waiting rooms. You are assuming that all radio stations play ads. That isn't always true in Europe.
Their associated image gallery includes a prototype for a dual-screen laptop. That isn't a prototype. It isn't even a mockup. It's just a concept rendering.
A prototype would (commonly) be a fully functional and working test product. In this case that would mean a fully functional computer. A mockup would look like the real thing but non-functional and usually also made out of "fake" materials.
Estimating the diameter of the spehere in the picture to around 12 cm and assuming the final spehere is the same approximate size: If the final sphere was magnified to the size of the earth, it would have surface variation of 9.5 cm in altitude. Pretty slick - although I bet that within a week at least one american will find a way to trip and sue them into oblivion.
For a while, every time I got a mortgage spam with a link to fill out a contact form, I would fill it out using a temporary phone number in a certain area code. Then I'd see which mortgage companies called me, and I'd call them back saying, "The person who sold you this lead is generated them illegally; you should stop buying leads from them, and should stop buying leads from people without asking where they came from." Wouldn't it make sense to set up a phone number which cost money to call (what are those lines called - like sex lines for instance?). Then you can spam the spammer with that number and get mortgage companies and others to call you and... Profit!
Obviously Windows is more secure than Mac OS X. The war on terror has been won. And peace and democracy reigns in Iraq. Why should we let a minor detail like reality ruin a happy end?
AFAIR, isn't that free of any streaming fees? If you install Darwin SS on Darwin (or use QTSS on OS X Server) and stream with MPEG4, is that a one-time fee (for the QT Pro license needed to encode = 30 USD) and then free for ever and ever. Or do you also have to pay a pr. stream fee on top of that too for the codec? I can't find anything on Apple's site about it.

So get an iPod touch? It's a couple of inches smaller than the iPad.

Flame on!

I agree. In my post I also tried with both S, STRIKE and DEL first but none of them worked. :(

Surely, there must be a market for retired satellite dishes?
This project about using plants that can detect landmines and change color accordingly isn't all that new but still ongoing and very interesting.

I hear they are nasty little fuckers...

During the relatively short Apollo Moon landing missions nearly 40 years ago, astronauts reported difficulty breathing.
And that is how we discovered that the Moon doesn't have an atmosphere...
Damn. Someone beat me to it. Well, at least I've done my part to keep the entropy levels up.
It's a humor site. Try reading some of the stories on the front page. The Register didn't fall for it. heh http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/05/09/rosen_joke _jobs/
Lego is a contraction of "leg godt" which is danish for "play well"
Seriously!
Thanks for the reply... :)
