What is the point of driving a race/stock/rally car if there is no race to win! Unless the point is to steal the cars then its more of a chase senario.
GPS and 52 more gigabytes. If this phone had the funtionallity of even the base line Garmin GPS and the storage capacity of the current video iPods. I would be buying generation 1. Three of my favorite toys in one!
However, Cingular coverage is full of huge holes in Iowa, so the device is crippled not by apple but by the cellular provider. Verizon is not perfect but it does provide me statewide coveratge (save for one of 99 counties).
There are plenty of flying cars and personal submarines available. You just have to pay for your toys. (Or is it work related... for the new paper route?):D
The Moller Skycar has been in perpetual development, from your referenced article,"..his efforts have amounted to very little since he began developing it in 1983."
The Volante aircart may be flying but at the Volante site states,"...This production kit version of the flying car will have to remain proprietary for the moment." Add to that the ugly form factor for the Volante, hard sell in my opinion.
With regard to the submarine, yes tourist submarines do exist in limited quantity, but the luxury sub at the top of the site is described," The initial design was originally executed for a client and now awaits a buyer. As proposed, the submarine would constitute the single largest private undersea vehicle ever built, and arguably, one of the most significant personal transportation devices of the century."
My understanding of the magazine's use of the word "popular" is "in wide use" or "available to all." I don't consider any of the sited examples as being widely available to the populus.
...more inovation please. AutoCAD is desperatley trying to hang onto past instead of leading the way with new inovative and intuitive CAD/3D software. They are no longer the only game in town. Sour grapes.
From the article (and Summary): "7. Inconsistent User Interface. Open iTunes, Safari and Mail. All three of these programs are Apple's own, and they're among the ones most likely to be used by Mac OS X users. So why do all three of them look different?"
I don't want my apps to all looks the same. Just like I don't want all women to look the same; women all have the same basic framework and operating system. But I definatley want to be able to quickly distinguish between my wife and my mother-in-law! "Hey honey, I thought I'd join you in the shower.....DEAR GOD Nooooooo!"
I do want the menu bars, etc., to follow a standard so features are easy to find - like prefereneces, print, quit, etc.
...look at the album art view, the slider at the bottom. Basically black on black with highlights and white outlines.
Look at the website http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/index.html Apple has been moving from the grey on white to black backgrounds. The icons on the shiny black background may be foretelling the future GUI look.
Using this device for domestic crowd control will deny me the pleasure of watching post "big game" revelers/rioters roll down the street under the playful stream of a water cannon!
That's one of the few enjoyable aspects of a riot.
If the (big generalization here) media wasn't doing its best to report the bad things the US has done, or been accused of, or simply reporting hearsay with zero fact checking. There would be no need for the Pentagon to act this way. I won't say the media is on the side of the terrorists, but they defiantly are not allied with U.S. interest.
The media reminds me of one of my childhood neighbors. Lets call him Dick. Dick loved to start fights between my brother and me, he was very good at it. But if we ever turned against him he would squeal like a scared pig and claim impartial, neutral, innocence in the matter.
By the way...the U.S armed forces have their own media services (at least it worked well in WWII). War is dirty, ugly, nasty business...pick a side or get out of the fray Dick.
Wouldn't it be possible to kill key logging if keyboard-to-computer comunication was encrypted via hardward with some form of changing key? Or is this not a good route?
So, which is cheaper Tivo serivce or buying all my content from the iTunes Store?
Say there are 4 shows I really like @ $2 a show for 20 episodes = $160. That is $13.33/mo
Say there are 8 shows I really like @ $2 a show for 20 episodes = $320. That is $26.66/mo
Yes, ease of use and the cool factor will be a draw; however, economics will be the driving force.
Which model is kicking ass in the legal music word: buy your digital music or subcribe to a service and "rent" the music?
This guy hasn't missed the point of going to college. He got it right. He's taking advantage of the TIME VALUE OF MONEY. Facing the extreme price increases in tuition why not take as many transferable AP classes as you can. Then if you get someone else to pay for your collage that's even better. And instead of wasting 4 years of valuable time (where you could be making money instead of forking it over the university, landlords, beer vendors, or pot dealers you can get on with life and start doing what you want. The more you earn/invest today, the better off you will be tomorrow. The less debt you have today, the more you will have tomorrow.
Universities have become a money making shell game...they require you to take a load of irrelevant course work (to broaden your horizons) at over $300/credit then they offer limited sections of these classes which delays your graduation a semester or two. Yeah, the university has your educational interests at heart.

Is a computer dolling out punishment any more rediculous than legislatures passing laws with mandatory minimum sentancing? Yes, sentancing guides should be given but where is the judicial descretion to balance the punishment and the criminal act.
What's the next step? Let the computer determine what is or is not criminal intent.

I don't have this book, but I proudly display my 12 tall "Beaker" figure on my desk.
Very good point...but ether is easier to say and sounds so much better than phlogiston. I've always read "Dark Matter" as "We just don't know" but the public preception is that it must exist because the smart scientist said so...

Popular Mechanics is known for its deep knowlege North Korean technology.
By the way Popular Mechnaics, where is my flying car or personal submarine?
