The song sounds more like they just recorded some sound bites (something you might hear on a radio station, "This is X and you're listening to Y") from artists and celebrities and slapped them on a cheap advertising jingle. There are some lyrics, but the singers are some random studio musicians.
The last person who suggested they reduce prices to be competitive was beaten to death by the Duopoly of Coles/Myer and Woolsworth. Then the corpse was kicked by Gerry Harvey (who seems to enjoy beating dead horses).
So a horse suggested that retailers should reduce prices? Australia is stranger than I thought.
* I hate that myth. Every time I hear it from someone, I want to say, "Well, maybe you're not using that 90%, but I sure as shit am." Probably comes from the proportion of the brain tissue comprised of glial cells.
Personally, I think we only use 10% of our hearts;-)
Uh.
The DSi has a music player, so I'm pretty sure the 3DS will as well.
The 3DS will also play 3D movies. It almost certainly won't play arbitrary video files unless you jailbreak / mod / hack it, but anyway.
Many people want more than a "decent job playing games" (see: >120M sold DS units).
An antivirus company saying that Windows in insecure would be like BP saying that we should all switch to solar power and stop using oil.
Actually, BP probably wouldn't mind. Despite the conspiracy theories, "oil" companies don't hate alternative energy sources - they're actually large investors in wind, solar, etc.. After all, they're not in it for the oil, they're in it for the money. When solar starts getting big(ger), it's mostly the same cats who will profit. Oil just happens to be easily exploitable at the time.
Unfortunately, "something sensible" doesn't mean some HTML bodge, RTF kludge, or non-reprocessable binary like PDF, but a persistent, parsable, non-proprietary, standard. Gosh, isn't that what XML was supposed to do?
No, XML is not a standard for e-book text. It's a standard for markup languages. What you want is some kind of XML schema for structured text, like XHTML. Of course, XHTML contains some of unnecessary baggage for e-books like form elements, but I don't see that as much of an issue.
One math professor told us that animated sequences and 3D graphics are pretty, but there's no significant learning advantage - the people who can't grasp the mathematical concepts from basic 2D blackboard (or basic overhead projector) drawings won't likely be helped by the animation either.
As the article you linked says, Blumenthal just said the term "molecular gastronomy" is confusing and elitist. He doesn't mean the actual field where scientific precision is used to examine cooking is dead.

Simple. Put a dollar tag on every fix, ie. estimates. Ask "is this fix more important than getting foo done in time?".

Poor guy, Don Ho... I haven't the heart to tell him, but all the women in his family are Hos!
All (or most) of the Ho girls who marry will eventually stop being Hos, though. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing...
No savvy console manufacturer confirms a hardware upgrade before it's just about to hit. Otherwise it'll hurt sales before the upgrade date.

Jeez. Would it be too hard to pick one measurement system and stick with it? FYI, 37000 feet = 11 277.6 meters

I like how the wiki article has /dev/null in external links.
I'm pretty sure you could create one with Yahoo Pipes: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/
Linus, is that you?
It's not the Professor but Hermes who says "sweet zombie Jesus!"...
Nah, it'll be a series of prequels set in Harry's early years.
The digital music sales aren't GROWING AS FAST AS THEY USED TO!! That's almost like losing money!
How about a FOSS program that'd help me manage calories?
I've only visited the Netherlands only once, but while I was there, everyone spoke excellent English (and I did visit outside the bigger cities, too).
So, if Universal will still have its way, this is just an empty gesture (since prompt removal won't be enough for them).
And if any of those 10 people happens to have a personal grudge against someone or something...
