Wait, Google Patents is detecting, tracking, and targeting kids? I knew there was something fundamentally wrong with the USPTO -- it's those damn kids calling the shots in there!
Cell phones? That's silly. All pastafarians know that "global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of Pirates since the 1800s." It's all in The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!
Star Trek is definitely a space saga that was created to conform as closely as possible to foreseeable technologies. [...] By contrast, the gem of "Stars Wars" is not the technology but, rather, is the philosophy[.]
Well, it was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, after all.
Flash is disabled on this machine because it does exactly one of two things in a web page: 1) show an ad, or 2) replaces perfectly servicable text (or even image-based) links in menus and navigation widgets that just ends up slowing everything down. I've already loaded the page. I shouldn't have to wait for the menus to load, too, just so your cute logo can flicker or rotate or so your menus can do impressive, flashy transitions that slow things down even more.
If you change "Flash" for "images" and go back 10 years in time, you'd get the exact same situation that images in HTML had to go through.
Looking back at my old NeXT (we never lose a chance to brag about having one) makes me wonder what's coming in the next 10 years, and how much of that will arrive from Steve Jobs' hand.

At least I get to meet you, First Post! Also, lucky bastard that space turist.
MOD PARENT UP. And mod brother post up too (the one about circles in Google+).
You'll be right in 15 years, but are wrong today.
"Android-based vehicle"? That's too much of a statement.
Parent is likely talking about another country, or referring to an age other than the one we currently live in here in Mexico.
The letter y functions as a vowel in some cases. Think of ay, hoy, rey, buey, Paraguay.

Simple: IOC (Introduction of concept) That's how you once related SW to Star Wars, by seeing them together.

They dupe.
Amazing

No, really.
Gee, I wouldn't want to be on a rainy day with one of those ink-printed arms!
