Another potential application may be sound-proofing. The propagation of sound waves should generate a similar strain to an impact, so it may be feasible to create a material that becomes more sound proof in response to increasing noise. "It could have some very interesting, unexplored properties," Green says.
Kinda cool, but what is the point of scaleable soundproofing? If you want something to be soundproof, why would it need to ever increase or decrease sound proofability? Why not just make it as soundproof as possible from the start?
To be frank, console games appeal to the generally non-technical. Everyone that I know that is into technology goes the PC route. I'm just speaking based on my experience. Not trying to troll... I just disagree based on the people that I know. Plus, consider how much easier and widespread PC software pirating/copying is than console pirating. I'm willing to bet that if you included PC pirate gamers the numbers would reverse.
Mark my words, console gamers are a dying breed. In 10 years computers will be incorporated so much into our lives that console games and computers will become indistinguishable. Every hardcore console gamer I know is gradually migrating to PC games... simply because they can get out of the box and escape the limits of factory manufactured consoles. Just my observations/opinions.
ALWAYS the problem has been that gamers outgrow the console. Especially in an age where 90% of console gamers also are familiar with PC gaming and hardware upgrading. There is essentially no limitations to what you can add/remove/change in a PC. Console gamers are growing to expect that level of adaptability.
I have nothing to hide from Google or the government. All of you paranoid people out there must have stuff you want to keep secret... not me. I am using the new Desktop and I like it very much! Suit yourselves though.
This just shows how ignorant people can be... it's like suing the maker of a handgun because you were careless with it. Take responsibility for your actions people... if you listen to your iPod too loud then deal with the consequences of your stupidity.
The real question here is why these goofy stories are getting posted every time... I'm going to submit a story about Google opening a college for the lazy and gullible...
No way Nintendo would EVER sell a few months before releasing one of the most "Revolution"ary game systems of all time! They've got way too much at stake in Revolution to throw it all away.
i-pods are the quality mp3 product I've used. When compared to the Dell DJ and the nomad, the ipod is stikingly easy to operate and out performs any other mp3 player that I've used by a longshot. The accessories for the ipod take everything even farther. I've loved using mine.
I'd pay 4 times as much for a digital camera if that's what it took... As a former user of film, I must say that digital camera's have SO many more advantages especially in the internet media realm. The time from the shot to photoshop is so little that in effect it becomes the instant camera of our generation... with unlimited potential. Not to mention the $ you save.
It's ok... I thought maybe you misunderstood what I meant. I see what you're saying, but I don't think it works the way you're explaining it. God could have created the world completely perfect if He had chosen to do so. Free will is not the same as handing out free alcohol... free will is only the existence of alcohol. Just as it is now, we have the choice to do what is right or do what is wrong. The Bible makes it clear that when we are born we are sinful... since the fall, sin is in our nature... it's not something we can ever avoid doing. God didn't want to punish any of us so He sent Jesus to serve as a sacrifice for our sins. That way we can live our lives in freedom. The issue here isn't God punishing people for not worshiping Him, it's that God cannot be in the presence of sin so he has no choice. We still have a choice to murder someone... the tools are there, many times the motives are there... yet it is illegal to murder. We have the choice to kill or not to kill. Does that make sense?
wow... I have no idea where you came up with that... God isn't happy unless people excersie their free will and don't worship him? How did my argument say that at all? Giving us the choice to worship Him or choose something else does not mean that the two options are equal choices, nor does it mean that God is happy when they choose not to worship Him. Let me say it again... GOD DOES NOT WANT PEOPLE TO NOT WORSHIP HIM BUT HE GIVES THEM THE CHOICE SO THAT WHEN THEY CHOOSE HIM IT WILL BE SINCERE.
I have a choice to drive my car (the right way) or to drink and drive my car (the wrong way). Just because I have the option to do the wrong thing doesn't mean that the government needs to outlaw alcohol because I might choose to drink and drive. See what I'm saying?
The problem is that you don't understand the nature of God. The reason God created us is so we "could" worship Him. From the start he created us to have the ability to choose something else. If God made everything perfect from the start and never gave humans the option to serve and worship something else then human worship would be worthless because it wouldn't be sincere. Instead, God let Adam and Eve have free will to choose to worship Him or to sin. Before sin ever happened, the earth was perfect. There was no pain or suffering and no death. Once sin happened the earth was changed and evil corrupted the face of humanity.

Kerry won that county by more than 20%! So it doesn't matter!!!

Google should buy Gateway... it'd be a good move for them... :)
Universities... As of now, that is where Google is testing it. There is an open invitation to Universities who want to be a part of it as well.

Within the same decade the pre-marital birth rate will skyrocket because there will be no "real" consequences for unprotected sex.
Seriously. I've given up on the hope of common sense ever being lived out in our society again. It's sad.

Google will change the internet or at the very least the way that the internet is experienced.

It's not about the technology as much as the innovative ways it is being implamented.
Everything else is made in China...

Good job Samsung. I've got to NAND it to you...
