As more and more people leave Bluetooth turned on to make use of their Bluetooth headsets, Bluetooth close-range messaging, such as through bluejacking, is increasingly being exploited for commercial purposes.
I only engage in bluejacking if I get pr0n spam. and certainly not in public.
The article makes it clear that many important issues, such as security, privacy, and the rights of patients, are still up in the air as the project moves forward.
The rights of patients? This article coming from a country that doesn't even have a Bill of Rights. (or at least pretend to have one)
The aurora borealis (also known as the Northern Lights) has long been known to be an effect resulting from the Sun's solar wind pushing particles into the earth's magnetic field and atmosphere.
No, aurora borealis is caused when Homer Simpson attempts to cook a meal at Principal Skinner's house.
Fat, yes. Not to mention stupid. I know some very intelligent, down-to-earth city folk, but I swear most of them live just outside the realm of reality.
Yeah, well, not all of us were able to get into Costco law school like you and your elite friends.
So far, the dozen strong studies that have probed the relationships among the urban environment, people's activity, and obesity have all agreed, says Ewing. 'Sprawling places have heavier people...
Ah, a positive correlation between urban sprawl and gluteal sprawl. I wonder what the formula for that would look like.
The cord is made by gradually moving two batches of neurons apart, as they naturally grow towards one another. This biological 'data cable' could then interface with the brain once implanted, the researchers say.
That way, in the future, people can have an almost lifelike experience watching Ow! My Balls!
One scenario the researchers envision: People could store messages to descendants, information about their lives or interactive holograms of themselves for access by visitors at their tombstones or urns.
Here's the thing about this. It seems really fixated on physical storage formats (i.e. floppy disks, CD roms, etc), ignoring the whole probability that more and more, storage in the future will be a network service. Take Amazon's S3, for example, or google's online storage plans. It won't simply be the case that a bad hard drive, or a faulty CD-R will lose critical family data, as storage via internet will likely be distributed regionally, or nationally.
Now, file formats are another discussion entirely, but I think things are heading in a good direction with things like ODF.
This is a fairly major shift in approach for NASA," he says. "They traditionally have been very conservative in their adoption of new technologies and new tools, but I think they've found that conservative approach just doesn't hold up when you start to reach a [certain] size and complexity.
Yes, complexity, like converting english measurements to metric.

This is hard with Gentoo. Gentoo wants you to change a lot of stuff. It wants to be bleeding edge.
Hey now, anything endorsed by Larry the Cow can't be bad. Larry the Cow and Poochie the dog are similar, in a lot of ways.

Microsoft is crippling Windows and making life harder for their customers? Good. I welcome this change

Curious, I attempted to view the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant in Plymouth, Massachusetts. It too was pixelated.
Have you ever been there? That's how it looks! I think they built it out of Lego.
my GPS keeps leading me to a discount Viagra/Rolex Watch warehouse/stock broker!
Really? Mine just leads me to h0t s3xy s!uts. Which is entirely fine with me.

If the galaxy has to lose its virginity somewhere, it might as well be in Europe.
no one will ever go up MY urinary tract. no sir.
Well, just make sure you stay out of the Amazon, and you should be ok.
Everyone know that in Barcelona they take Ciesta. So don't plan on using you computer between noon and 1.
Yeah, but if it's 40% faster, an hour-long siesta should only 35 minutes.
I for one welcome our new octopedic taxiverous overlords

Why the .XXX Domain is a Bad Idea That Won't Die
You've got two errors in the headline alone. 1. Porn is never a bad idea. 2. Porn will never die.
Via is readying a media-oriented motherboard in what could be the next popular size for small form-factor PCs: Pico-ITX.
I like the Pine client as much as the next guy, but does it really need its own motherboard form-factor?
However, when I put my sponge/scrubber into the microwave, it caught fire, smoked up the house, ruined my microwave, and pissed me off,
He wasn't using one of those Sony battery-operated microwaves, was he?

They can sell upgrades to the dead.
When dealing with the dead, it's really more of a service.

Microsoft is working on a project they call 'immortal computing'
As far as projects like this are concerned, there can be only one.
Forty states have laws allowing individuals to do this, and many of them offer subsidies and tax breaks for people who do.
Tell that to the boy scout who tried to build a reactor in his backyard.

InformationWeek follows up its widely read review where Mac OS X beat out Windows Vista in a head-to-head comparison
If I remember correctly, that "comparison" was mostly based on the author's personal preferences. That's more of an editorial.
