  1. Link to The Hill story on Next Step For US Body Scanners Could Be Trains, Metro Systems · · Score: 1

    Here's the linky in case you wanted to read the story from The Hill that was referenced in the article: http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/130549-next-step-for-body-scanners-could-be-trains-boats-and-the-metro-

  2. Re:Simple answer on Is Anyone Buying T-Mobile's Googlephone? · · Score: 1

    It's quite possibly too late for Android. Apple already has a mature product in place, and has several million users. Another thing working for Apple is that they have the iPod Touch which allows the same platform to be used by people who don't want to switch to AT&T. At the very least, Google should have worked on creating something like an upgraded Nokia N810 that runs Android.

    I think your concern is flawed here. While the Apple Ipod Touch does use the same interface as the Iphone, Android can also run on many non-cell devices. I have heard some stories about running Android-based GPS devices. I can produce a reference if you desire.

  3. Re:My 2 cents on New Pictures of White Knight Two and SpaceshipTwo · · Score: 3, Interesting

    However, referencing that same link, all other countries with a space program consider space to start at 100km or 62 miles, while the US uses 50 miles. I thought that was interesting anyway.

  4. Re:Also, QuickTime tries to install iTunes. on Mozilla CEO Objects To Safari Auto Install · · Score: 1

    This is a very funny line, and I see my significant other doing the same thing. I wish I had mod points for you but I do not. Good post.

  5. Potential problems on MIT Offers City Car for the Masses · · Score: 1

    This is a business model very susceptible to problems. Say, a group of 20 terrorists goes to 20 of these stations and puts one bomb on one of these cars. Because of the 'sharing,' people would very quickly stop using these. I'm not saying it is going to happen, just that it could.

  6. Re:Google and Facebook on Facebook In Court · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yahoo put a bid in, I believe, at $1B, but Facebook demanded $2B, and they are now considering an IPO, which would be the "first big IPO of web 2.0"

  7. Re:First prize for impracticality on Whirling Twirling Propeller Trike · · Score: 1

    In any case, it doesn't use gas, elecricity, biodiesel, or any other fuel. IMHO, this is pretty cool, if he gets his safety aspects together, and works on gear drive, it could be a neat little invention that he might be able to sell. It seems like something that Leonardo would have drawn plans for. Anybody else think so?

  8. Sweet on NASA's Michael Griffin Interviewed · · Score: 1

    This guy is awesome, because he went to my high school, a lower level, poor-ass school in the hood. Good times.
