I agree - its like herding cattle. I was hoping to open a avenue of though concerning educating the user more... even if in an extreme example. Good thoughts friend. VERY interesting research cited... can you point us to the details? thanks!
....like the way The UPS Store and UPS are (two separate companies entirely!), you would never know the difference that they are tow different companies with a good relationship sharing brand recognition.

Brilliant - send seniors to Mars on a regular basis! Perfect way to compliment cutting costs in healthcare reform circles. Everyone over 72, your flight is in 6 months.
I'd be more apt to have the app recognize the face of the people around and discretely let me know what i am not perceiving already with my uber-human sensory organs. Like understand the turkey quotient of someone's flatulence, or the true emotion - as opposed to the deceiving portrayal of one - sneaking around in the salesmen inflections of speech that can not be perceived by the human ear.
The real scary part about this effort is these ARE the tools that will enable more big brother bantering and espionage.
When I was attending Syracuse U. in the early nineties, a cool elective class came up for us physics nerds attempting to align with the dawn of computer programing en masse. For a nerd like myself, this was absolutely appealing. It included small programs simulating exactly what you note, and beyond.
I would say your efforts need to include the real world though - getting kids excited about mapping physics and mathematical colloquialisms on a computer also needs to have roots in the physically applicable world. It was this connection that kept me, and keeps me, interested in natural sciences and mathematics to this day.
I agree - u need to read the reasearch - the debate for origin is well alive and no last word is offered.
My only real point was sharing the stories of my grandmother - sharp as a tack - and memory like a steel trap. Edison was real, and his inventions so wide spread you can not live in the modern world without them. And yes, many of them were engineering inventions - one of my favorites being his joint project with Henry Ford in creating Charcoal (the same stuff you use to cook burgers on) as Henry was looking for yet another fuel source for his autos aside gasoline, or his chief choice of ethanol.
This is interesting - but wiki is wrong here IMHO. The credit in question on many of the conflicts between Marconi and tesla have been on going for decades... Discovery and History both in recent docmentations claim the opposite... And give Marconi the credit... As do some governing bodies and courts. But i guess we will have to wait for more compeling evidence for the truth to be known ( if wiki is correct).
Your admiration/enthusiasm for Tesla is not unwarranted - his genius was original, but you need to loosen up on the others.... Marconi did it before Tesla but both indpendently, actually. And as far as Edison goes, he was indeed hard to work for, but to claim he raped his employees for everythng is far too fetched, and outright false. He did indeed depend on his employees more in his later years, but his genius was legit, and his Inventions genuinly his own.
My grandmother worked for Thomas Edison - so I the FUD on Edison I can speak to directly as she was my intellectual mentor growing up - and yes we spent hours and hours talking about that crazy Edison.
Some points you should know:
Most of the consumer devices you use today are direct descendants of Edison's inventions.
Edison was no Crook either - even if only paying my sweet grandmother ~17 cents a day around the 1920's.
He was indeed eccentric toward the later years of his life however, and experienced what many would consider a form dementia today.
His list of inventions towers over just about all other modern inventors - I suggest all of you look them up - there are many, many stories to tell. From movies to music, refrigeration to your TV, he's been involved in some way.
...and by the way - it was Marconi that invented most of what was later attributed to Tesla... and returned to Marconi only recently by world courts.
There is a lot of money in recycling - the industry continues to grow. Don't tell me that this effort needs to cost anybody anything aside a few extra acres for a new company with new jobs. Anything else is an excuse for raping the public in some nefariously placed capitalistic manner.
Further, as a people, we have every-right to mandate laws that will help reduce the waste stream and provide a better quality of live for our citizens. Its not big government - its clean air and water so we don't die via poisoning ourselves. There is no room for the big-government argument here. Mandate recyclable, non-toxic materials, and let a new industry make a profit from it - maybe then China cant sell us bad paint, poisoned toys and sheetrock, etc... and we actually retain our health and American prosperity instead.
And its noted in several posts that companies are already doing this on their own - with their own initiatives because they are tired of the same old arguments as well; Moreover they realize there is great money in it with no need to rape the consumer further than they do already.
To Hell with the disposable generation - the industrial age must grow up and realize its not about consumables as much as its about sustainability. A new, Green economy needs to also consider durable and non-durable goods alike.
anyhow - major breakthroughs are abound, and Canada's Alberta Province has initiatives for the use of HyPower's hydrogen and bio fuel production processes.
How about just blowing out big oil - there's your cultural shift right there. If we were using renewable sources - as even henry ford even wanted to - this conversation does not happen today. Oh, and the economy would be greased for serious evolution. yes yes yes we will always needs oils for so many things... its no excuse anymore. its time.

Why cant users choose their own level of security - idiots be dammed. But I bet you find a whole bunch of people wise-up really fast. :P

This calls for immediate discussion!

This is indeed a real dilemma... both of them ask for contention. Both should be guilty.

"numerous rough edges and dark, undocumented corners"
They found it!! they finally found my Mojo!!!
I think this will gain steam overtime... they needed to just get it out there and get customer-driven direction from developers....
Hey, beats the piss out of the last Palm OS SDK approach.
Its NOT a Bug.... its a FEATURE! It's from M$ correct? That's the way its supposed to be...
... wait until the Face Crime app is part of the standard install. That will bake your noodle.

Sarko is the only man on stage in fact. I'd be all over that ass as well.
I HATE ARTICLES LIKE THIS!

The chief scientist has been at it for over 30 years - so yes it is difficult. I remember his expo at teh U. of Tenn Worlds Fair in 1982

I have no more money to give... thank you America, for taking my dream and spending it on Chinese trinkets...
