Imaginary mass, plugged into gravitational formula which uses mass squared will give repulsion rather than attraction.
If you're describing two imaginary masses. If you're describing an imaginary mass interacting with a real mass, you have an imaginary gravitational force. Given that all interactions between dark matter and normal matter would be of this nature, that's kind of a defect in your idea.
This view is actually a lot better than the old path-following, which wasn't sufficiently damped for routes involving a lot of right-angle turns (the camera would swing nauseatingly) that you tend to get with road directions. It's a tool for a specific purpose (an overview fly-by of your route). Regardless, it's not a flight sim.
Screen size is an issue. There's a reason most textbooks are physically large. The Kindle DX works around this to a degree but the resolution's not quite good enough for figures and equations.
This is Slashdot, where something's deceptive unless it is described in eighteen-point flashing red text, at which point it is considered to be insulting instead.
It discourages procrastination on the part of the Nobel committee. If they want to award someone the prize, they have to award it while that person is still alive to receive it. I'm not sure of the official rationale though.
Amazon seem to have lost the point of an e-book reader,
They just launched three new models of e-ink reader and are continuing to sell the old ones. I think they've got a pretty good grasp on what was working with the original Kindle, they've just decided to try some other things. That they're making a product you don't like, doesn't mean they're directly harming the product you do like.
I've yet to have a relative's computer contract a virus because of a Facebook link, but it seems that every other day they've got some Facebook app spamming everyone on their friends list because of the promise of free online poker or whatever. When does Facebook intend to do something about that? Ever?
Free, worldwide 3G access was available with the old Kindle too. (I know of several people who used it with the experimental browser to keep tabs on Gmail while on holiday.) Even so I can't say I grudge Amazon's decision to remove it.
You finally chop off all of AlphaDog's legs with a fire axe, then it splits open like some horrible pinata and Asimo steps out and strangles you to death.
On the other hand it won't walk continuously without rest or on-hand guidance towards an arbitrarily chosen remote destination, and it's not going to make your enemies crap themselves in horror.
Watching it maintain its stance after being shoved the second time was un-nervingly reminiscent of a spider, but watching it get back up from its side was the icing on the terror-cake. I've already had awful visions of Asimo indefatigably running me down, now that thing's going to be pracing through my nightmares.
Yeah, people always forget to factor in the energy required for manufacturing. It's important to quantify it in all "green" tech, but for energy harvesting applications it can completely outweigh the benefits.
I don't think that $100 would've made a big difference. There are already $400 tablets, they're not much more of a success. The fervour with which people clamoured for a sub-$200 touchpad shouldn't be taken as a general indicator that any price cut would've made it a success. I think that wouldn't have kicked in until well beyond the break-even point for HP.
They charged what it costs plus a modest margin. Sometimes you're not pricing something wrong, it's just that there just isn't a rational price which makes for an easy sale.

It's scientific research, not the Olympics. The merit of a result sometimes takes a while to become apparent.

What we know is good enough for the technology we have.
I'd quite like for us to develop some kind of technology we don't already have.
I get that this is the Nobel prize
"...I'm just not clear on what the Nobel Prize actually is."

I don't think Amazon views the limited supply of refurbished iPad units as a competitor. There's a pretty finite supply of them.

I notice that various forums relating to the game are this morning jammed with reports of stability issues, graphical issues
Sounds like they're staying true to PC game design to me. Patch early, patch often.
I don't think you understand what helicopter view is.

I'm talking about malicious links inside Facebook; Websense identifies malicious links outside facebook.
I don't know how to break this to you, but there are other social networks. Some of them even existed before Facebook!

It's cheap, and it's really good at what it does? Pretty much the same reason I bought my rice maker?

Well, then that's even more generous.

It's literally hydrochloric acid.
