I for one welcome our Japanese Supercomputing Toy overlord!
I also welcome Godzilla to fight this Supercomputer in an epic battle (Pictures of the beast can be found at a random website http://www.xofacto.com/justin20/shinzen-godzilla-6 2.jpg).
I also welcome females back to my crib.
The new leather case has the same problem as the original Apple-branded leather case. The iPod cannot be used while in the case. People will not want to take the iPod in and out of the case each time they want to use the device.

The Prius has an MSRP of $21,725. At 10% the cost of the car, the solar panel kit ($2,195) seems like a reasonable deal, considering it facilitates 10% better gas mileage.
At 55 mpg, the gas cost to drive 200,000 miles (at $2.20/gallon) is $8,000.
At 60 mpg, the gas cost to drive 200,000 miles (at $2.20/gallon) is $7,333.
The difference is $666. Considering the kit costs over three times what the gas savings amount to, it is hard to market on account of good money-sense.
The only consolation is the concept of helping mother nature. I have limited understanding of the fabrication process of the solar panels, so it would be hard to say whether or not mother nature profits from this scenario.
Unless Google can compete with eBay, it is going to massively lag behind PayPal, on account on PayPal's inertia from Ebay business and current use (eBay Paypal ties).
The sites that Google links to typically accept Credit Card payments. PayPal, of course, allows such, but is necessary specifically for normal everyday people to accept credit cards (the eBay process). How does Google fit into this?
"I always felt, but can't prove outright: Zen is wrong. Then is right. Everything is not about the now, as in the "here and how", "living for the moment" On the contrary: I believe everything is about the before then and the back then.
It is about the anticipation of the moment and the memory of the moment, but not the moment."

True.
Actually, we very well may have SUPERIOR hearing perception devices (ears) by that point in time. The fabrication of such nerve connections seems impossible today. And while it is impossible to predict the future, the acceleration of technology is often underestimated. Perhaps 25 years is a better guess? Who knows... It is hard not to think within the perspective of the current day.
"Yes, they are expensive But they're protecting something you can't get back once you lose."
I bet technology will be able to ENTIRELY fix hearing loss within 15 years.

I for one welcome our new Japanese Earthquake Detecting Overlords!!! .... sounded better in my head.

You remind me of the gum salesman from Clerks.
I don't even know what topic I'm posting about. Maybe respect for overlords is a good response.
He make's $54,999. You suck at math.
