that here in the USA, using a service like this (and subsequently being caught) can stiffen any penalties or jail time your may receive because you're actively obstructing justice.
This is bunk, as many people have said before... exercise is good medicine.
Who wants to wager that the new "updated" version of Wii Sports, with the Motion Plus controls, will be put on a similar test and researchers will waste another couple of million dollars figuring out that moving around is good for Parkinsons.
She lives in or near Sammamish, Washington. So, while they do have some medical use, they're not all that open. Considering that possession of little more than an ounce or cultivation of any kind is still a felony.
That's right, she lives in or near Sammamish, WA, which means she's about 2 hours from Vancouver. Hmmm....
Google seems to be doing EXACTLY what Amazon is doing with their Kindle book service, they're just going all in wholesale. Whereas Amazon waits for the book publishers and authors to explicitly authorize their content to be sold on the Kindle, Google is taking more of a "shoot first and ask questions later" approach.
Since a presumably large number of these scanned works will be from Author's Guild writers, I don't see why the Author's Guild can't say "Sure, you can scan the books of our patrons!". But instead, they are douchebags and say "In fact, you can scan ANY* book and we'll collect on the revenue for it." Which, as we all know, is retarded.
Google is trying to one-up all of the other online book stores by being able to offer EVERY book. The Author's Guild is giving them the unjustified legal means to do so.
I think they are mostly trying to capture the iphone / itunes / android / windows mobile / palm-pre marketplace mentality. Nobody is interested when it's called a "repository" but if you call it an "app store" people will download....
MOD PARENT DOWN
He's using the exact market speak that Microsoft hopes we all adopt. Even if he's doing it in a mocking tone, it's still gonna help that re branded "live" search catch on as a verb!
I was picturing it working like, "I'm looking to fly to Missouri in September. When should I buy tickets so I'm likely to get the best prices, all things considered." Does Priceline do that? ( I honestly don't know, I don't it).
Not if you're planning on flying to Missouri, it doesn't! In fact, I think their system is now smart enough to suggest a different vacation destination!
To do this would almost certainly imply there is some illegality to what you are doing. Therefore, a company/group/organization/whatever that set terms like this would almost instantly get sued into oblivion.
I imagine it's expected to be popular based on price alone. It's easy to see why the majority of people living in "emerging economies such as Brazil and India" couldn't afford a $400 PS3 or even $250 Wii. But if you can make a game console $100 or even $150, it will probably sell like hot cakes, despite the lack of decent titles.
Zimbra is great, even though they're owned by Yahoo now. For a little bit of money you can even buy a license for an Outlook connector and the people who use Exchange now won't even know the difference.
...get the impression that Microsoft is using their shoddy "backwords compatibility" to mentally start brainwashing us into thinking that backwards compatibility is bad?
Look at it this way - for people like me who saw this coming and held on to my original Xbox to play my original Xbox games, they can migrate the masses to the newer console while stile quoting a large install base of the original Xbox.
It is a sad day for gaming indeed. I'm actually thinking that when it comes to backwards compatibility, Sony and Nintendo will certainly be crowned the victors this time around.
Was anyone besides me disappointed that the Zelda game they've announced for the DS carries the same graphical style of Wind Waker for the Gamecube? Granted it's pretty impressive for them to do on a handheld, and this game looks great... but I was hoping for more of a classic "link to the past" feel.
I've recently dabbled into getting Xgl and Compiz running on my "Dapper Drake" Ubuntu preview installation. Granted, it was a challenge (even for a computer guru like myself) but I can certainly see that it is a step in the right direction.
With that being said, I'd like to mirror what others are saying in stating that eye candy is a good thing ONLY if it is functional. Case in point: the compiz "cube" effect. Basically this relays a sense of space between your four user desktops. Whereas most casual users wont even utilize them, the cube effect makes it easy for even the most novice of user to understand the concept of having four desktops.

but as long as they don't overdo it, I don't find that a shaking cam is such a bad thing if it makes it more realistic.
You'll find this movie terrible. They overdo it.
please go kill yourself for using "bing" as a verb
with a subject like "Two Words..." I thought you might be referring to "Two Worlds..." and thought to myself: "PLEASE GOD, NO!"
Google Earth + Layers, maybe?

... is there really a cyber WAR going on? Are people dying? No? Then I don't want to hear about it.

But - the cake is a lie!
Even though it's a joke - a geek can dream, right?
Looks like a slow news day for Earth. Meanwhile, on the Klingon home world, they've released a new 3D browser technology.
How did they know I was looking for penis enlargement pills and cheap viagra?!?!

I am looking forward to the sense of "Wii-ness" that this product is advertising.

If you are not familiar with compiz or Xgl, check out this video I found on google
