Fundamentally, the artical missed many points. For example, aging population and abusive/careless lifestyle (leading to obesity and others) are valid issues for human societies. It will cost more money, effort, and resources gradually. In other countries, the same thing is happening as well.
In order to make a judgement on whether the economy is heathy or not, it is necessary to understand that the market sectors grow in turns! It is not possible for all sectors to grow simultaneously. Moreover, to downplay a fast healthcare growth in recent years is similar to claim a fast housing growth is pure bad. It neglects the fact that the housing market did help to land the US economy after IT bubble.
IMHO, the fast growth in the health care may trigger another round of growth in IT, manufacture, as well as other market sectors. A couple of reasons are :
1) We still know very little on ourselves;
2) There are many barriers waiting for being broken. For example, MS started to penetrating the health care software industry this summer.
I feel quite excited for the new opportunities actually. Please feel free to drop me a message for any m/billion dollar business idea. If I am your partner, there will be no disappointment.:-)
Anyway, it is nice to see another BIG problem solved. Also, it maybe good to start to ask the best in the field to submit some high quality problems while solve others.:-)
I remember that FORTH is a language support STACK COMPUTING. Hopefully, it is not totally wrong. Unfortunately, it is really hard to understand FORTH program.
One of my dream when I was young was to enter Bell Labs as a top notch scientist/engineer. I had indeed been there in late 90's and it was a down-hill ride.
Partially, it is due to the fierce competition that drove down the revenue by 10+ folds. One minute long distance was $1 and you can get 1c now.
Overall, industrial research institues need huge $$ support from their business.
Engineering and Science are TOUGH! The author is not tough enough.
It is because of millions (not every one of us) of tough minded people that Western world surpassed Eastern empires in engineering and science, and dominate the modern era. Here, my philosophical hypothesis is always that Democracy is a by-product of the advanced technology.
Does anyone want to put more intelligent design theories into the text books? Go ahead. It demonstrates how a strengthening religion power can blindly choke up the air of engineering and science. Take a look at the dark medieval period.
Desktop search tools is a convenient way to organize our file/mail/multimedia systems.
Copernic is bad since it only allows one index for each category. This may be inefficient and provide with irrelevant search results. Dtsearch seems a better choice.
Multimedia file searching is only useful if either the EXIF is kept or the file name is meaningful. Therefore, it may not be very effective for those jpg/gif files obtained from internet.
1) carry my cellular phone or wireless handset and follow me
2) come to me when I make a whistle. leave me alone after another one.
3) bark when a stranger comes in...

He is a postdoc or a research fellow now. If his contribution is so substantial, I would see him on the faculty list somewhere.
His work is in the field of channel capacity computation. The paper has very limit impact due to its model and its assumptions.
Sorry, there will be no 200x DSL. :-)
After all, it is not impossible for ebay to use skype effectively even if skype is not profitable independently. Just imagine,
1) assign a free skype account for each buyer or seller (match skype id to ebay id?)
2) add a voice message feature to My Ebay (maybe, record conversations as well?)
3) associate voice messages/conversations to transactions
4) resolve disputes with voice messages/conversations
5) how about a little fee for such a convenient service in order to safe-guard the interests of both buyers' and sellers'.
Well, I may pay a few $$ for this additional 'insurance' for a transaction of a few hundred $$.
Lessons learned:
1) Copper wire can support high rate data traffic;
2) The necessary signal processing is complicated;
3) The cost is !#%#!$%@;
4) So, verizon has FIOS now.
Do not believe me? Take a look at my nick. :-)
I personally feel that a key reason that a PhD may struggle in the industry is miscommunication between him/herself and the real world.
Given the technical capability and the dedication, a PhD with certain sales/marketing knowledge could take off quickly.
I rationally decide to cheat.

everybody sues nowadays!

FORTH is a fun language to learn though. I've had 4 happy months with it. Just think about, I started to speak with others like:
"wash your face; wash your mouth; brush your teeth;", which is totally out of common order. :-)

Can not agree more. Those labs brought humanbeings into a new ERA. I would like to see how GOOG labs will do.

or am I the only confused?
Just curious.
Hey, I should put "being an adictive gamer" in my resume. But, we should brainwash all managers by the book. I will buy one for my boss!
using 802.11 technology is sexy. but, it could be a mess w/o proper control.
simplify his daily life.
Indeed, I bet that God likes an automatic system that can refine itself. It is boring to listen those complains, like:
monkey, "we want to free our hands!" "try standing up then"
women, "we want our men!" "hey, get viagr*"
It seems so complex to have all those position, speed, teammate, and other information.
How about a simple game? So, when will Robot acquire the championship of GO?
