"Retail research kingpin the NPD Group is reporting that Android-based phones are now outselling iPhones. Or at least they did last quarter in terms of unit sales in the U.S. according to NPD's study, which found that RIM's BlackBerries held 36 percent of the market, phones running Google's Android had 28 percent, and the iPhone was at 21 percent."
Actually most states are one party consent when it comes to recording phone calls/conversations. Only 11 states require all parties to consent to the recording. In any case the manufacture cannot be held legally responsible for the actions of the end user.
"The neuroscientists ran a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test on an Apple fanatic and discovered that images of the technology company's gadgets lit up the same parts of the brain as images of a deity do for religious people, the report says.
The first episode of the documentary shows Apple employees "whipped up into some sort of crazy, evangelical frenzy" at the recent opening of an Apple store in London."
The USMC is the smallest branch of the military (not counting the USCG), as such they are very selective over who they recruit and tend to recruit the best. The stereotype of the "dumb jarhead" is nowhere close to reality. The last thing you want on the battlefield is a dumb Marine. You also do not seem to realize that 90% + of what the Marines do are non-combat jobs.
The USMC does not get much of the defense budget. In fact most of their gear is stuff that the Army replaced. Why do you think Marines call it "The Suck"?
You're wrong about that, you can format any removable device as NTFS if it is large enough. I do it with USB flash drives all the time and have done it to sd cards in the past.
If you're getting viruses on a modern version of Windows you are doing something wrong, especially if you're running 64-bit Windows 7. Viruses haven't been much of an issue since XP SP2, unless the user is dumb enough to click ok on every popup.
Does that netbook have GPS, 3G, IPS display, active digitizer, accelerometer and both front and rear camera's? Didn't think so. It also comes with Computrace for free and it looks like it comes with free accidental damage protection. I'd say it is a pretty good value considering what all you get.
I replaced the optical drive in my ThinkPad T510 with a ultrabay caddy that holds the stock hard drive. The stock hard drive was swapped out with an SSD. I like that the ultrabay is hot-swappable for the times I may want to burn a disc too. In the next few years we'll probably see the optical drive start to go the way of the floppy, Software will probably become a download only sort of thing, Apple is already doing this with the new version of their OS.

Sorry, but more Android phones are sold than iPhones.

Apple has been found to give its users a religious experience. I'm sure this has nothing to do with them being a cult.

Of course, those were the days when we just bicycled around the trucks vaporizing some godawful chemical designed to kill mosquitos.
That was just DDT, it's about the only stuff that really works for mosquito control.
Fuck Anonymous, they all belong in jail. A bunch of self-glorifying script kiddies, that's all.

Except that manned space flight is not ending. NASA is just going to contract out the task of sending our astronauts into space.
"In 1987, 42% of the software developers in America were women. And 34% of the systems analysts in America were women."
So 58% of developers were men and 64% of systems analysts were men. Looks like men dominated the field then too.
That time has been beaten by a ThinkPad.

Don't forget about all the iPad toting hipsters that stink up the place.
The actual dimensions of a black monolith are "however big it needs to be". 1:4:9 is just the ratio of the proportions.
Don't objects slow down as they approach light speed?
Why did this post get modded troll?

And yet they have more stringent certification requirements. US Military aircraft are some of the safest, most well maintained in the world.

Write to it as often as RAM is written to and I guarantee an SSD will die within a month.
Enterprise class SSDs already have capacitors to protect against data loss in the event of power failure.

Lenovo has posted an excellent video showing off this tablet on YouTube.
