Now imagine that the candy manufacturer's major competitor has set up the market in such a way as to get paid for their sweets every time any "standard" container manufacturer sells a container no matter if the container contains their sweets or the sweets from any other manufacturer.
Exactly how many people do you expect to buy OSX after getting Windows for "free"?
About as many as bought Netscape instead of using the "free" Internet Explorer?
The greenhouse effect is NOT a theory. We can test and measure how much different materials - gases, liquids and solids - would hold in certain wavelengths of light. If it were only a theory, there would be no actual working greenhouses.
We know that CO2 is a greenhouse gas. We know that man has released millions upon millions of tons of it into the atmosphere. We know that it contributes to global warming.
The "theory" part of it is how MUCH it contributes to global warming in the presence of countless other positive and negative inputs and feedback loops in our complex ecosystem.
Isn't the trick to this getting the particulate matter into the UPPER atmosphere (as volcanoes do)? Is so, then your proposed solutions would be much more damaging then helpful.
Let's see how it reacts as your face pushes against the screen
The specs say it has a proximity sensor to turn off the touchscreen when you hold it up to your head to prevent erroneous input and to cut down on power usage.
Cows = animals, algae = plants. For the most part, plants and animals do opposite things, foodwise. Plants tend to lock carbon in, not expel it into the atmosphere.
Algae photosynthesis tends to be about 13% efficient at converting sunlight to chemical energy, although the process to oil and the energy used to support the other processes involved in growing the plant, as well as the support systems and post-processing would add a lot more inefficiencies. However, the 10,000 gallon figure is almost certainly using figures from desert-based solar energy availability, which is significantly higher than the average for all of North America.
Photosynthesis is about 13% efficient at converting solar energy to chemical energy. Solar cells range from around 6% to 30% efficiency, but the 30% range are usually very expensive and uncommon cells. The most common bulk solar cells currently available are in the 12%-14% range, or about equivalent to the photosynthesis efficiency.
Why do we automatically assume having more CO2 would be a bad thing? Well, for one humans often like to build and live on or near coastlines and have trillions of dollars in infrastructure that would get obliterated when the seas rise. In this country alone you could say goodbye to New York City, all of Southern Florida, New Orleans, Mobile, Galveston, parts of Houston (basically the whole Gulf coast), some of the LA basin, many cities on the Atlantic seaboard. And that's nothing compared to worldwide with Southeast Asia being severely threatened - probably directly affecting a half billion people. London and the Netherlands would probably be gone as well. I could go on.

Not really how it happened. "Dynamic 2D graphic with sound" games like pong were "first", at least in popular culture. Text and static graphic games actually same later.
"Apple then introduced the nanos (which had even smaller hard drives) to replace the minis"
The nanos don't have hard drives, they have flash memory, which is still more expensive per gig than hard drives, but much smaller, and solid state. Which is why they could make them that size.
I read a science article a while back discussing quantum computing. Apparently, you need to isolate the qubits from the surrounding environment to keep from collapsing the wave function until you are ready to read the result. One of the techniques for creating this isolation is to surround the qubit in a strong brownian motion fluid. Supposedly, since the average effect is zero, it doesn't affect the result, but it maintains a shield from the interference of "observers".

Yep. So they're turning off the backlight during the time the crystals are re-orienting. Replacing ghosting with flicker. Might be less noticable because of the limitations of the human eye response.
Are you sure a Bush appointee would vote in favor of property rights? The Bush administration prepared an amicus brief against the homeowners according to the Wall Street Journal. The WSJ article is in their paid archive, but here's a article discussing it. http://www.fff.org/comment/com0501g.asp
Unfortunately, the limits of "public use" are not defined well by the 5th Amendment. On the other hand, this ruling does not say that the city, state or federal government cannot pass regular legislation to define the term. A federal bill should be proposed to define what uses are allowed under the "public use" term.

Jobs said it's not coming out until June because it has to go through the FCC approval process.

More like 26-27 hours.
However, it does suggest that humans didn't start out in their modern form only 6,000 years ago.
Wait, why are you lubing up the hamster again?
"Microsoft can't use Windows as leverage in this proposition "
Don't be silly. The next release or patch of Windows will just "accidently" break iTunes.
Seems to me that the FOSS items are in blue and the non-open-source or mixed ones are in black.
Shouldn't that be "They missed two biggies"?
Hence my "at least in popular culture" qualification.

I'm a bit concerned they'll accidently reproduce a Hooloovoo, which would probably make all sorts of mischief in my living room...
