You don't think there are already fatalities that are caused by cars and not people? When it happens, eople will accept that on average self driving cars are more reliable and insurance will take care of the lawsuits.
I ain't getting a tablet until it has a 15" screen, full sized keyboard, touchpad (complete with left and right buttons!), HDMI port, USB port, upgradable ram, hard disk (I need 1TB for my videos)!
Rushing to market with a feature that's barely functional or usable is not Apple's usual style. At least I have confidence that NFC integration into iPhones is not going to be next to useless like it is on other phones.
Yeah but I think people are forgetting that in the end the software is everything. iPad has 100s of thousands of tablet optimised apps whereas Android has thousands at best (and most are very poorly thought out). iOS also is much smoother than Android and Windows 8 when it comes to animations and responsiveness which is key for a touch screen interface.
I'm sure the Asus Transformer has better specs on papder than the iPad but the iPad has better UX and software (IMO). Plus the retina display is amazing. I use my iPad for reading (Safari, Flipboard, Facebook, Twitter) most of the time so the display quality is more important than Mhz -- especially if the apparent performance and responsiveness is better.
Yeah I know. There's a market for tablet keyboards but I really think it distracts people from understanding what a tablet is best at doing. It should have the easy of a smart phone (just grab and use -- no setup, not desk, etc). If you're constantly changing its configuration it won't have the unmeasurable thing that makes using a tablet a pleasure IMHO.
I'm a big fan of having multiple complementary devices. I do my data creation and productivity/developmennt work mostly on a notebook. I read/write emails, txts and browse the web on-the-move using my iPhone. I surf the web, watch videos and play games in my living room or bedroom on my iPad. They're all complementary devices and I would never think that one could completely replace the other since they're all physically very different sizes with very different performance characteristics.
When I buy a hamburger, I don't complain that it isn't steak.
Exactly. When you buy a bicycle, don't complain it doesn't have A/C and triple exhaust!
People who won't buy a tablet until it has a keyboard don't actually realise what they want is a normal notebook because they can't envision the use-case for a tablet (at least until they own a decent one).
I found the difference in email etc to be huge as well. Fonts just look amazing at high DPIs. I think we've grown up so used to crusty blocky looking fonts that we forget what they really should look like.
Our goal should be to make screens that, one day, are indistinguishable from looking through a window into the real world.
AC was much better for transmitting back then because transmitting high voltage is more efficient (less current means less copper and less resistive waste) and they had an efficient way of converting high voltage AC to low voltage AC (transformers). Efficient high voltage DC-DC voltage conversion was not something that was possible back in the day.
DC is actually more efficient for long distance high voltage transmission -- they just didn't have the technology to convert DC voltage. Now days HVDC transmission for new long distance lines is much more viable.
The vast majority of HDTVs use HDMI input. HDMI (at its basic level) is electrically the same as DVI. A simple DVI to HDMI adapter or cable will cost you peanuts and you can get a 1:1 picture from your PC to your HDTV. Just make sure that you've adjust the TV to not do any zooming. A lot of HDTVs will "zoom" in the picture a bit because some older broadcasts had overscan borders. Turning off or lowering the sharpness filters, MPEG reduction and other post processing will make your HDTV look pretty much like a huge computer monitor without any of the quality loss you're used to seeing.
If it is constantly sucking heat energy away from you then it will feel cold. Your body doesn't feel cold from the cold but rather from change in temperature. Metal at ambient temperature feels cold because it conducts the heat away from your body more efficiently than wood for example. This device must be efficient at sucking heat away from your body in order to generate electricity.
Actually you're misinformed. QT uses the native API (uxtheme.dll on windows etc) to do drawing of widgets so that they are drawn like native apps. That is pretty much the same thing Swing does but QT is much faster! There's no way QT could move to native widgets for real without break backwards compatibility (the features related to drawing would have to change quite dramatically for example).
Use Spy++ on a QT app like Skype if you don't believe me.
Such hatred! Gees, no wonder people are dying right and left
Jews: Isreal has the most gender-neutral society in the entire world.
Rank bullshit. perhaps the most gender-neutral in the middle east, I don't think anyone would argue with that, but I think you'll find most European nations (and nations who were settled by Europeans) to be far more gender neutral. In the US, the third in the Presidential sucession is a woman, speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
Not sure if you're ignorant or just joking but for those reading: Israel was the second country in the entire world to have a female prime minister (Golda Meir).
Well actually it is possible. Nazism was killed as a mainstream idea in Germany through total warefare to the point where the people just weren't willing to support it anymore. Just as Hamas's extremism can be replaced with a more moderate and willing to negotiate Fatah.
Believe me, with all the revolutions around the world, screwed ideas can be put to rest if they are suppressed and broken for long enough for the people to realise that their livesand childrens' lives become so much better under another idea.

Weird. Just copying "evil:%" into the clipboard and right clicking on the URL bar in chrome does the same thing.
you don't have to make a complex chirping weasel model to brain-freeze a chicken. just hold its head close to a surface, then draw a straight line with a marker starting on its beak and extending about 30cm. the chicken will stay there hypnotized for a couple of minutes.
The chicken could be stunned because it is thinking: "WTF? Why is he drawing a straight line from my beak and onto the ground. Weird ass humans".
Kind of like how during the cultural revolution, sparrow culling (designed to spare crops and seeds from the birds) caused a major surge in insect population - destroying crops.
It seems to me that part of being environmentally sound is having family planning. If people in developed countries choose to have less children to get a better standard of living then good for them. I think it's unfair to judge pollution on a per capita basis. Having low population is good for the environment!
Your explanations for where the energy comes from in a nuclear reaction isn't clear enough for the clueless.
The energy comes from the fact that the atomic products at the end of the reaction are less massive (have less mass) than the input. The lost mass is converted into energy which is where the energy comes from.
A chemical reaction like water into H and O does not destroy any matter.
I have a hard time respecting people who dismiss it. If they can dismiss that then why should I believe lions exist in africa. There are so many ways to fabricate it after all.
You totally lost me at this statement..
Dismissing some evidence for bigfoot including one, let me repeat, one, mult-minute film of the creature is aparently the same as dismissing evidence for lions in Africa?
Are you stark raving mental?
Anyone can fly to Africa to see Lions. Anyone can go to the local Zoo and see lions. There is more than one video of lions.

There's lots of those apps ...been there for years.
I personally use this one: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/touchpad/id297623931?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
Use your phone or iPad as a multitouch touchpad for your PC.

Funny, when he said "GP" I thought GP (Simpson) and not GP (post).
The "no classes" heaven on earth part comes later. Dictatorship of the proles comes first.
I wouldn't be surprised if they're already QAing that setup, and are ready to announce it next month.
Jesus. Fantasize much?
Given that Khan's revelations were made in early 2004, does that mean it took the IAEA 1-2 years to brute-force the encryption?
The IAEA were pretty pissed when they found out that the key was 0xDEADBEEF
Your example about running analogue 1080i over twisted pair is irrelevant.
They are not intending on having the cable used as a differential analogue audio cable where noise will have an effect.
The cable they're selling is intended for use with their digital Denon Link interface.
