What does the charging station use? Is it ultracapacitors?
Also, last time I checked both Germany, Japan and pretty much the rest of the planet used the metric system, so:
We all know that battery packs are the weakest link in electric vehicles. Not only are they heavy and expensive, but they take a long time to recharge and on average can only provide around 160 km per charge. A German-based company has changed all that with a new vehicle capable of driving up to 600 km at moderate highway speeds.... It doesn't end there. The company responsible for the battery pack, DBM Energy, claims a battery pack efficiency of 97 percent and a recharge time of around 6 minutes when charged from a direct current source. Unlike the small Daihatsu which was heavily modified by a team in Japan earlier this year that achieved a massive 1000 km on a charge at around 43 km/h, the Audi A2 modified by DBM Energy was able to achieve its 600 km range at an average speed of 88 km/h.
They keep canceling TV shows, especially those that have a storyline, and then they wonder why people don't watch TV anymore and why they cancel their cable or satellite subscriptions?
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Cancelled. There was something about "humans helping machines against machines" in the end, we'll never know. Reaper? Cancelled. IMHO it was much funnier than Chuck. Heroes? Cancelled. Seriously, fuck you NBC. Better Off Ted? Cancelled. There was a lot of good jokes in there, especially the synergy between the Phil and Lem. Caprica? Cancelled. It was about to get interesting, explaining the mindset behind the whole Cylons war, but we'll never know either.
So, what's on the air? Wrestling on a channel that can't spell Sci-Fi. Contests like American Idol. Unfunny rip-off of Robot Chicken made by freakin' Mad TV.
If you have more than 15 brain cells, it seems the TV networks executives don't want your money.
The point of lotteries is that you buy a ticket with a chance to win money. Farmville is a game where paying gives you items, etc (I guess, never played it). There is no "cheating" here, no promise of "play Farmville and you could win millions!" anywhere AFAIK.
EA caters to hard-core players. From NHL 1995 to NHL 2010, to over-hyped multi-million dollar games that fall flat on their faces (Spore, anyone?) to crappy Mac releases which use Cider, a Windows emulation instead of doing proper ports? From a company as big as EA, it's shameful.
Farmville caters to everyone, like the "Wii Sports" games. There's no guns, no destroying your opponents, etc. Not everyone wants to kill and destroy things when they play games.
And last, I think Farmville is a Flash game. Since there's no Flash on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, they released an iDevice application which probably makes it even easier to sell in-game items and stuff.
The real question is: what can top FarmVille? BusinessVille? RoadworksVille? PostalVille? VilleVille?
It's not good to have music so loud in your ears that you can't hear what's happening around you. Get yourself noise-cancelling headphones instead. I've heard good things about the QC-15 from a friend.
That's the problem in this industry. Cryptic error messages full of acronyms or taking for granted that the user knows how the system works.
A perfect example is the self service banking kiosks. The models we have asks us how much money we want to get from our account. We say "30$" and THEN it tells us "error: value must be in multiples of 20$ only". There's a difference between describing how the system works and taking users for idiots.
Never mind that, I'd be happy to simply have tunes released without the "screw dynamic range, let's make it sound LOUDER for radio diffusion" crap.
Seriously, watch the waveforms of a lot of tunes sold on iTunes and other places. It's a shame to see the music labels completely destroying the tunes they're in charge of selling.
Plans are for the site to focus on entertainment with the home page constantly updating items about music, movies and television shows that are most discussed on the site at any one time.
IMHO they don't want to steal users from FaceBook, they want to prevent Apple's Ping from becoming the next largest media-based social network because that's where the money is: movies, TV shows, music and ads.
The thing is, all iTunes users already have the potential of being Ping users, it's only one click away.
Dom Portwood: Hi, Peter. What's happening? We need to talk about your TPS reports. Peter Gibbons: Yeah. The coversheet. I know, I know. Uh, Bill talked to me about it. Dom Portwood: Yeah. Did you get that memo? Peter Gibbons: Yeah. I got the memo. And I understand the policy. And the problem is just that I forgot the one time. And I've already taken care of it so it's not even really a problem anymore. Dom Portwood: Ah! Yeah. It's just we're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now. So if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that'd be great. All right!
And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

Believe me, you're not the only one waiting for that.
In the meantime, you can only say "Safari or Chrome only" to your users, if you have that luxury. What are Opera doing about that, too?

In other news, Steve Jobs now has even more arguments to push aside Flash and Shockwave.
Wait, Shockwave? That thing is still alive?
You mean something else to do rather than this?
I don't know any OS that can run .swf files.
You're telling me it's like USB all over again?
Gold-plated oxygen?

I can imagine the romans or the catholic church messing up with our calendar at one point or another. For all we know, we're in 1930. Or 2050.
Maybe they're trying to match the color of the invisible pink unicorn.

Worst thing is, it's a copy/paste from a well-known website.
What the fuck does that mean?

And I'm in a rural area in the middle of nowhere and we have 5mbps over cable. Sigh.
It can be both.
Switch the targeting systems for empty boxes while Colossus can't look!
It could have been based on FreeDOS.
It helps me walk on sunshine!
Towelie got hooked on that stuff and now inhales up to 2000 cans of computer duster a day.
