If I had a 10 acre plot of land, I wouldn't build a house to cover the entire area. I would use part of the land for a house, part of the land for a garage, part of the land for a yard, and part of the land for a pool. It's called multitasking.
One of the benefits of a larger monitor (larger than, say, the 14 inch monitor I first started computing on) is that I can have more than one window open at a time, and see information in both windows at the same time.
And yes, I actually do this.
I keep trying the beta, but they give so much of their real estate over to ads, that there's little left for my actual mail. Sure, I could open my Yahoo mail up in a new window instead of a tab, and maximise that one window, but why should I have to change my browsing habit for one program. For me, Yahoo Mail Beta's worst sin is that it is absolutely unforgiving to anybody who doesn't wish to turn over the whole monitor to an email program.

We have found no evidence that the problem reported by Dell and Apple in their recalls applies to our notebook PCs. Sony has confirmed to us that there is no such problem as cited in the recalls of Dell and Apple with the battery packs supplied to Toshiba.
That is, Toshiba's laptops won't burst into flame. That's the issue that page talks about. This is a completely different reason to recall Sony batteries.
Except that this is a manufacturing error, not a design flaw. It's not as though laptop manufacturers just solved a major problem. Something like this could pop up at any time.
It's probably best to just never buy a laptop in case something goes wrong with it.
If adopted, it would be binding law on the government of the United States, but not binding on the citizens of the U.S. That means that we'd still be protected by the First Amendment, but the U.S. could be punished for violating the treaty.
Treaties govern relationships between nations. Unless the government of the nation adopts treaty provisions as a national or local law, it's not binding on the citizens.

Or, like an indie film director doing a summer blockbuster, maybe they do the flashy research so that they can attract funding to do the important research.

Orson Scott Card is a competent writer, but he has almost no experience writing screenplays. As long as he is trying to write the screenplay, or has final say over which screenplay gets shot, the movie probably won't be made, and if it does, it risks sucking.
What Card needs to do is say "I don't know anything about movies," pick a screenplay writer he likes (Joss Whedon?), and agree to greenlight the script, whatever it is. Of course it's going to be different from the book - it's a gol-darned screenplay.
It's a story about a boy picked to be a military genius, and how the government uses and abuses him for their own ends. As long as the screenplay gets that down, the rest of it (the Battle Room, the computer game, the ansible, the Dr. Device) is just details, and should be changed as necessary to tell the story visually. But I'm afraid Card is too close to the original to ever let that happen.

Is that like, less than 1/2 of 1 percent? Hell, that's a rounding error. Imagine that in the runup to [insert winter holiday of your choosing] people are buying less individual music, and more big-ticket items.

More than just doing nothing wrong, this kid's podcast was successful only because of podkeyword. They submitted his show to iTunes, and to the Yahoo podcast directory. That he had so many listeners is only because of podkeyword's work.
This isn't a story about a "podjacking." (I agree, stupid word.) This is a story about a kid who didn't know what he was doing on the internets, who signed up for a free service, and then cancelled that service and is pissed because he lost the benefit.
