The majority of FaceBook users have no idea what you are talking about.
Therefore the majority of FaceBook users won't be publishing their images in this format.
This app will do more harm than good if it ever makes it out there. The only possible use is for the sort of photos which only get published when the owner thinks they'll have control over them. Every single one of them will get burned (and I might be OK with this...they're exactly the sort of people who need to be burned a few times).
It also means they can't plan the fuel loading of the aircraft accurately. They have to load too much, just in case the Large Luncheon Club all decide to take a trip together. This leads to more wasted fuel because the aircraft is usually heavier than it needs to be...etc.
Apart from being a fairer system, weighing the passengers would save a lot of fuel and lead to lower prices.
What about the first time you fly? Or if you took a flight when you were 2 years old and then didn't take another until you were 18?
Yeah, I wonder how that could possibly be done. If only there was a way for people to weigh themselves without cheating or trying to game the system over $2....
If you have no recent flying record they could even let it pass if you're within 20 pounds of your ticket. How's that?
The power connector itself is a massive point of failure, as they get full of dust, dirt, bent, static discharge, etc. My girlfriend has gone through 4 phones essentially because the microUSB power connector failed.
That's a problem with the connector, not the cable.
Plugging in to charge sucks - there is wear-and-tear on the mini-usb port, the fiddling to get everything lined up requires good lighting and too much time.
That's a problem with the USB connector, not the cable.
The 'problem' would vanish if the connector was round like a headphone jack. Docks can have a power connector in the bottom, they don't have to be wireless.
If you eliminate the need for a power connector, it would be pretty simple to start producing smartphones and other devices that are waterproof themselves. That would be a nice improvement
Yeah, there's no way a power connector could ever be sealed...

AI car will not be perfect, but I'm sure as hell they will be much better then the regular Joe.
I can tell you're not a lawyer...
I agree, you can definitely see some sort of RGB separation on the moving areas.
It could easily be synced to the film transport. I don't see why sync would be a problem.
What if I get a sharpie and wrote "FE0634E70F327A6B32C" on a bank note? Would they assume it was JVM bytecode and try to execute it for me?
(If so, I can get the bank computers to generate Bitcoins for me...?)
It's 1s and 0s...I can tell that just by looking at one.
Moronic? That's a little rough. In need of a lot of education? Oh.Yeah.
Disagree. The assumptions made by the poster are moronic, i.e. A bank would visit a web page whenever they scan a bank note.
(then download all the content from that page and try to do something with it...LOL)
Would it even be a URL? A QR code is just binary data. I'm sure a bank would interpret them as a binary number, not a download link.
Ummm....do QR codes have to be a URL? Why would a bank want to put URLs on their bank notes then visit the URL when they scan them?
Whoever wrote that is a moron.

It's not just an app, it's a browser plug-in. This is still-born.
I've got two...
Don't hold your breath.
They get paid whether they reject patents or not. Although they do get maintenance fees for accepted patents.
Isn't that the same as getting paid for accepting patents?

I would heartily consider paying double or triple *if* you give me two or three seats to have to myself?
So ... pay for two seats? Or three.
Dumbass.
Try reading your statement again.

Bingo, I often forget to plug my phone in, but forgetting to put it on the table is a very rare occurance.
May I suggest putting some sort of power dock on your table...?
Hadn't thought about it before, but MicroUSB isn't really a good type of connector...
Really?
Since ionizing radiation doesn't have any impact on people...
This word "ionizing". I don't think it means what you think it means...
How would that be different than having a power dock on their bedside table?
(Apart from taking up more space, costing a lot more and being less efficient...)
Odd. My SF dream world has Jessica Beil in garters, stockings and high heels and Scarlett Johansen in cuffs and a ball gag.
Remember: There's a parallel universe out there where you're doing all of that right now...
Mini USB is a pretty poor choice for a power connector standard...

It's a micro USB connector. What is there to "line up"? It goes in one way, and one way only
Huh? All USB connectors are designed so it takes three attempts to connect them.
