I also think a "card" forces you to think in a more refined space. It forces you to intelligently (ideally) reduce things down. eg: With a piece of paper you can write forever (a page), with a card, you must condense to utilize the space.
If you are in the lobbying game, you have to grease the skids on both sides of the isle. It is a bit idealistic to think that isn't the way DC works. You pay to play and you get what you want. Buying legislation successfully takes both parties.
The assumption is people will wear them 24/7 for some reason (or as long as the battery will last)
Why do we assume the proper use case isn't to use them as bluetooth headsets were meant to be: when you needed it (ignore the idiots that wear them to dinner)
In a medical setting, IMO it is a fantastic form factor. For the kid building sand castles, not so much. I see it as more of a device to enhance a particular activity you do that necessitates them, not as a device you sport all the time.
But then again, what is normal about walking down a street staring at your mobile phone composing a text message and not paying attention to your surroundings?
Jails for the mind. NCLB has ruined education, by far GWB worst piece of policy. That coupled with "zero tolerance" which equates to "no thinking by staff" we are ruining a generation of kids. Teaching to tests, which NCLB does prohibits this kind of "thinking" to experiment.
I'd have a rap sheet a mile long if I was in school and I only graduated 14y ago. And I didn't even do anything bad!
If BB pitch is to corporate clients (still) - how do they plan to attract all these devs who certainly don't care about the enterprise and much, much smaller target market.
Our mobile app, we have built native for Android and iOS. We've had a grand total of one person ask for BB and one ask for WP8. We simply have no interest in investing the money to build for something no one cares about.
Plus, those that aren't into the programming aspect of it, move into management of some type. Those that enjoy the programming aspect, will keep their skills honed.
I think the "Space" part of it is a side show to what Virgin is really pushing for.
The bigger goal, IMO is being able to enable flight from the US/Europe to Australia in a matter of hours by a "plane" jumping into low Earth orbit and circling the globe in 2 hours. Imagine being able to "jump" to the other side of the Earth in an 1 hour? A 2 hour flight to China? Australia? Europe?
It takes 88 minutes in LOE to circle the globe.
It would simply be revolutionary. IMO that is the near term end goal of Branson's interest in space flight. I think the "manned space flights" are tangential to what the immediate goals are. Hammering out the science to allow cheap cross earth flights, is simply incredible.
Is this April 1? Oh wait , it is a Chinese entity making the claim, so they care. Stealing American/Euro IP and mass producing it if a-ok, just don't do it to them!
Even if it is a hodgepodge of tech - the simple fact is Yahoo! Itself would have never been able to figure it out, how to build it. That's the problem, large companies can't innovate (let's just assume that Summry is an innovation to keep the discussion simple). So, even though we find it simple to build in theory, Yahoo couldn't pull it off internally. That, that is what to take from this.
The "lockdown" of Boston is a bit disturbing. But, rest assured the LAPD would have burned the boat to the ground. Boston PD seems to be a bit more professional and restrained.
CNN/NBC/Fox all want to be the first to get the story out. No matter what, for some reason being first though bad info - is good.
Then, they have hours of airtime to fill. So they use unknown "fact" combined with stupid pundits to just fill airtime. It is a bunch of shit in summation.

Cards are a decent metaphor for the form factor.
To turn around and be sold as an asset. Man, and Facebook is only taking on end of that deal!

Reddit drama on Slashdot? Is that how hard up for "news" this site has gotten?

I doubt you have to worry about that in your mothers basement, Mr. Antisocial.

They will just parse up the bill and add it as amendments to future legislation.
They have been paid far too much money by big business to let it die here.

No, people have to have two jobs because the govt takes 1/3 of their salary in taxes.
Exactly. Shooting a cop, running, throwing bombs out windows, more shootouts, are all things that innocent people do.
Clearly, calling up the BPD and saying "hey we are the guys in the pictures and we didn't do it! lets talk!" would be crazy

God forbid Congress and the President do something about it. No, lets hope the Supreme Court, nine old people, figure it out.
Patenting genes, which aren't fucking inventions - is purely insane.
Greenland has a TLD?
Thank you Facebook, I cannot wait!
So, what is this faux outrage we are being presented with? (And I think the ban on porn in general is childish)
And not a pretty HTML5 Web App?
If all they are doing is presenting products to users, I am baffled why they need a native experience?
I fully expect Facebook to sell more copies of their mobile phone than WP8... Not saying either is good. I suspect MS is bitter.
Does the law force one to comply? I think a simple "pound sand" would suffice.
Granted, you maybe shit canned over it, but such is life.
I do not agree with the law. If they want it, they should have to go to court and require a judge to force it to be handed over. BS IMO.
Without those greedy bastards, you'd be dead already.
