If one can identify whether two streams are similar or not then people won't have to watch the same porn twice!!! Once again google gets close to geeks' hearts.

"News for nerds. Stuff that matters."... right!!! You expect us to care about a thing that happened tens of millions years ago??? I can even complain this was on digg already since is it predates it. Pfew!
The scariest part was on the subject line: "... Someone steal it"
The phone has GPS. The GPS continually updates every minute and stores in cache on phone.
In order to be tracked easy... AND without access to the GSM infrastructure... so not only the Big Brother can watch you but there's some info ready yo be transmitted by bluetooth to everyone in range...
Every so many hours, its uploaded to your home account so you can review where you were the days before.
Hopefully only you...
It also has a 1 touch blog. You can then record voice/text/pictures/video to your site and it will be formatted nicely. You can let family members or friends view this website.
Hopefully only who you let...
It would be a living diary for you, and would take no effort.
For anybody...
Just 1 button and all the complex web work is done automatically. Hey and if someone wants to implement this, maybe you can hire me:)
Where are the good old days when a phone was just a phone, a thing people would call you when they actually have something to say?
I'm curious, when did Airbus start putting rear view mirrors in their planes? I have never known it possible in any recent commercial airliner for the pilots to see back behind them
OTOH, I found TiVo's suggestions that I manually change everything on my Series 1 device to be somewhat...insulting.
Why on earth would you think that every piece of equipment must be DST / timezone aware? Time zone aware microwaves, time zone aware $3 radio clocks, time zone aware VCR, time zone aware wall clock? Yeah, sure... that would be a nightmare... For those used with DST it's no problem manually changing the date on each household equipment... And I suppose it will be more than a nightmare to explain to your 60yr old pops: "No, you shouldn't change the time on the fridge clock. You'll need to PATCH it. Yeah, is simple... just overwrite the PROM or whatever... ah and NO, you don't have to change time on the VCR too because it's DST aware... What? You left it on the default Japan time zone? No, you'll need to change that...". And so on
Wouldn't that create more and more issues? Is a $100,000 mechanical watch timezone/DST aware?
I kind of got tired of these product-or-technology killer... most of them aren't killer at all and those that manage to get a decent marketshare or acceptance over the "killed" one do it just because the old one gets old... kind of same way smoking kills - it might or you just might die anyway.
and on MySpace... Not that there's something wrong with MySpace! I mean why don't they close MySpace and end these "X did Y on MySpace" annoying stories for good? I never heard of MySpace before these series of stories... and I wish I didn't... my eyes still hurt from last time i saw a MySpace profile...
What if one frames someone else: makes a page like this, leaves some marks on it (like an email) that's used by another fellow and makes it look like it was made by the second fellow that didn't know how to cover his tracks -> endless amount of work for prosecutors, lawyers, police officers, etc... pretty stupid if you ask me...
So what? Is this possible only on internet? I do recall doing same things in high school but only using flyers or posting ads in the matrimonial sections of different newspapers...
Teenagers do not invent things... they just use what's handy to do the same (bad or good) jokes pranks, carry their revenges and so on... If it would have been another's student instead of the teacher would it be the same? C'mon... how many phone numbers have you seen advertised on a closet's wall? Or in phone booths? Have you ever wrote the phone number of your ex girlfriend along with some lines of text?
And making parents responsable for all these acts is kind of stupid.
I live in a country that doesn't have an iTunes store. If I want to create an account on itunes.com I can't because I have no fuckin' US address. Even if I have a good credit card and all that I simply can't create an account. And more... even if I receive a gift certificate I can't benefit from it because of the same reason. As much as i like apple, they fucked it big on this... there are somewhere around 5.7 billions people that don't live in US and some of them want to buy their mp3...
not to mention anyone can figure out how to request something like:
"; rm -rf/; ls *.jpg
rm -rf / is just an example... but I think there are some ways to turn the tables too...

NO! It's not causing my bad typing too!
"Speed" like the last one here.
I bet that's the cause for a lot of things! /p?
An interesting fact is that this could be the start from a longer stories about Fuzzy Zoeller sueing other people... This guy could be a next target
This case ain't about smoking at work at all... is about smoking in YOUR fuckin' home, in YOUR car, in YOUR free time.
