  1. Re:Does this surprise anyone? on The Android SDK Is No Longer Free Software · · Score: 1

    Actually, there's a fourth monkey, which represents 'do no evil'.

    No, it depends on others' definition of evil.

    Which is why the whole premise is fundamentally flawed.

    You mean outside of software like ntp, Kerberos/AD, motion calculations, astronomical calculations, GPS.

    Just to name a few things off the top of my head.

    Probably more effective than AV.

    And eliminates future malware, at least from that source.

    So maybe newegg is the OEM for the uPhone.

  8. And yet the sentence before that says this:

    In GLBenchmark once again, the new iPad processed roughly double the amount of frames at a rate of 57 FPS versus the Prime's 27 FPS.

    If you using a graphics intensive OS, I'd say that's a killer. So maybe it's you who should pay attention.

    Muscle mass isn't serious?
    Constant nausea isn't serious?
    Heart atrophy is serious?
    " Because it has less blood to pump, the heart will atrophy. A weakened heart results in low blood pressure and can produce a problem with “orthostatic tolerance,” or the body’s ability to send enough oxygen to the brain without the astronaut's fainting or becoming dizzy. "Under the effects of the earth's gravity, blood and other body fluids are pulled towards the lower body. When gravity is taken away or reduced during space exploration, the blood tends to collect in the upper body instead, resulting in facial edema and other unwelcome side effects. Upon return to earth, the blood begins to pool in the lower extremities again, resulting in orthostatic hypotension.""

    You try living with all of those conditions and see if you don't call them serious.

    Spinning a space station *may* be harder than you think. Since anyone has yet to have a spinning space station for the purposes of providing any gravity for its passengers.
    And spinning a Mars shuttle, which would be much smaller, is probably even more difficult. Think angular momentum.

    For one, yes they did talk about 200 iPads being the same as one - from an interference point of view.

    Too bad there's thousands of planes every day, for a decade now, that are already testing this out.

    No accidents yet.
