That's gonna make some tobacco producers and smokers happy... No actually, there are endless possibilities to this. Supposedly the theory behind this can be adapted to growing other organs - transcribe the right genes, give it some food, cash and a structure and grow yourself an eye! I wonder if this can be adapted to growing Bota bags - these would sell particularly well in Spain during San Fermín.
Having more entrepreneurs looking into these "advances" in technology or scientific research and turning it practical use would certainly up the process of advances becoming mass-market. Information on research, clinical trials is public domain anyway, so it's just a matter of finding use for it, making an initial investement, take some risk, ?????? and make some cash. Also saves the government occasionally some effort in picking the reseatch it thinks is good for us;-)
The military will want to use them as reconnaissance and communications platforms. Civilian and scientific programmes will equip them with small payloads for Earth observation duties.
I wonder what made the iPhone 4G so appeasingly justifiable to the average consumer compared to their year-old iPhone 3G, which is fast, upgradable to iOS4 and which, more importantly, does what you would expect of a mobile phone and more... More often than not consumers need to learn to weigh out their "real needs" against all the media pressure we subject ourselves throughout our "normal lives" (in the modern world that is). Don't fix it if it ain't broke, as an old saying goes... Gadget obesity, anyone?
I'm not going to try to use the right terminology, simply because I'm not an astrophysicist, but I wonder if attempts have been made to analyze the signal across different timeframes, as opposed to one continuous stream of radio-waves. Plato has done it in his works, so why couldn't the aliens?
or care? After all they've stuck with outdated, almost obsolete technology, for so long - they must have a good (even if subjective) reason for it. Not a big deal there's still plenty of holes to find in SP3, 2008 and 7, so what? It's only through education people will learn to make proper choices in the first place...
We already tried enabling the general population to create own websites: myspace, geocities, shall I go on? Now, unless this tool is able to preserve other user's eyesight once the app is published... Hopefully Google has studied and learnt something from market history.
What Google and Apple should definitely try - is community/Karma based app publishing process;-)
Shouldn't the general population be in control of what the government is doing also? Although I think there should be a minimal level of intelligence involved (such as before, during and after general elections). Unless a magick tool/pill can take care of all that (and all the major side-effects have been identified and assessed).
Well, at least it's good to hear the concept of "separation of power", as developed by ancient Greeks as a model of democratic governance, is still in full swing downunder! No matter what everyone thinks about filtering and the so called freedom of speech (I personally think we have such an increasing amount of shit in our brains, filtering out child porn isn't going to revolutionize anything, though my take is that it's a good thing). Anyone whining about potential issues with your rights - take a few deep breaths - Australia isn't turning into North Korea overnight - there are more important issues to whine about. Millions of people are being incarcerated, hundreds of thousands are jobless, and more kids than you know are left without parents, which leads me to the conclusion - it's always better to deal with the root of the (perceived) problem.
I would imagine table-top nuclear fusion would be in your best interest also. But since "they" are ultimately the ones who get all the cash, it's only fair "they" do the job. Unlike this guy, who's doing it himself. Yes, I'm not a nuclear physicist.

If the military will let us/them...
I wonder how Motorola is prepared to handle potential issues with opportunistic radiation and kernel storage bit-flipping. Just saying...
WTF?!! That's impressive! How about recycling all of that plastic?
...takes on a more literal meaning...
they end up on Slashdot, and carry on being bullied further. Mutually.

FSB caught your tongue?
On Google?
They should have used the chaocipher. That should be way past its copyright period. Ta!

Hey, they could recycle these into Poppers! Hard Pop is coming to your town (thank God it's not the moving sidewalks...)
they want to install moving sidewalks...
All Your Base Are Belong To Us.
Boy, that's going to leave a lot of nuclear scientists up in arms with a lot of unclaimed nuclear material on their hands.
Wait, they didn't give the link to the test for instant IQ verification...

But I think they should be coming up with ways on how to create abundant power. Coin-sized fusion reactors, that sort of thing.
Nearly all of us already have ;-)
One is an extorsion accessory, the other is not (yet).
