I'm downloading the update primarily in hopes that they've fixed the iTunes store where you literally can't see the full titles of podcasts or iTunes U lectures. You use the search in iTunes and it finds many results, however you can't read any of them at all until you fully download it. Nightmare.
When uninstalling the beta 9, do not make the same mistake I made by clicking 'delete personal preferences' because despite what I thought would only delete it's own profile, it actually annihilated my 3.5.15 FF profile removing everything including passwords, bookmarks and history.
I don't personally see a major nuisance with this, the trouble with the new implementations is that they are all being pushed in too fast. Here's a couple examples
* instant search
* category selection at the top has now permanently moved to the side
* images section has completely changed and it's just a bit annoying use sometimes
I have no extensions running anymore to try and cut down the extremely numerous times it crashes. It's never done that before. It'll crash on any web page and my firefox has been recently reinstalled. I will most likely downgrade to an older version.
I always report the crashes and put my email in too.
The mars rover was 'an asteroid' but we protected it, so couldn't we wrap some cushioning around it so when it lands it has a cushion of sorts. Or what about covering it with some highly reactive material so when it enters earths atmosphere, it burns up quicker than normal?
Here's s couple thoughts: if we had a powerful laser, could we zap it? What about putting some infective virus like nanobots that eat in at the asteroid.
Also, if we detect an asteroid that's big enough to destroy us all and nothing destroys it for us, we will know aliens aren't here trying to protect us for some reason.
Win? Not to sound a bit pessimistic but at the rate we are changing our environment "for our own good" will have us all eradicated in a very short term.
But if your ultimately in control of where "it takes you", you're still in control. Most people would prefer to be driven to work so they can sit in the back watching a film or calling people or whatever it is. I'd love to have my car drive me to work whilst I eat the day before's pizza.
I'm all for autonomous driving (for example, after having one too many drinks, your car could simply drive you and your friends back) however, lets be honest - the roads are never perfect and there will sometimes be cats/cogs/other large animals included as well as people and other things like people on bikes or horses on the roads. That's in Britain at least.
Just because myspace is in heavy decline doesn't mean they were doing all the wrong things. facebook is severely lacking in the music area and apple have been luck/smart/quick enough to try and capture that market. Users are on the rise for music, just check out spotify/last.fm/we7 sometime. Personally I hope that the quicker we get away from status updates and the focus on what we're all doing in the very moment the better.

And then add a button saying "iTunes 10 Free for Mac + PC, Download iTunes"
then upon final download button, name to "iTunes 10. Coming Soon. Download iTunes 9 now" Nice way to start with consistency, yeah.
That is a good point, however let's be honest - their minds are in a scientifically proven state of meditating [i]when[/i] they are meditating and to me it sounds healthier than multi tasking 10 different things at once. Why, it was only yesterday we had the news of http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/08/25/1234231/Digital-Devices-Deprive-Brain-of-Needed-Downtime Just thought it was quite relevant.
Just curious, I mean - surely laying down is as natural as standing and if the statistics added up - I'd present it to the boss at work and ask him to order a bed in.
I think it's selfish for parents who will know for certain their children will have the same disease/problems as them. Perhaps if people were more open to adoption we might see less intense willingness to 'have your own', the end of the day it's a blank human and it's not hard to make a child, it's hard to raise one to the best of your abilities.
I'm ill informed in the subject but I hope there are rules in place to stop say, two people genetically very, very poor (e.g. their children guaranteed to have extreme issues). Down syndrome and so on...
Also it's a bit of a gamble isn't it at the end of the day? For me I'd quite like the idea of knowing that the child I will adopt will be quite healthy... I don't have the risk of having a child myself and have it turn out with severe mental issues. I realise people with severe mental issues are still able to fully enjoy life but if you don't have the time/resources money then I feel it's quite selfish.
Looks like most of the causes were due to being rushed. It confuses me that people complain about these services which, if rushed, are life-threatening. An example, my friends brother was rushing to get home quick in his car. He was over tired and it was at night with icy roads. As you can guess he crashed and took out a persons garden wall, luckily he didn't die and had minor injuries. However, his aim was to get from A to B faster by a couple minutes by driving quicker - this then caused him to have around a 16 hour delay by staying in a hospital over night. Ironic.
This really is turning into a great tool for obsessive people. Here's an example; I'm on facebook and I am updated about what new friends my friends have. Why on earth should I know this? It is utterly pointless and makes you feel like a stalker. As for the location business, it's like a ticking time bomb to me until the media focus on a particular crime where the attacker used facebook as a means to gather private information about whereabouts. Facebook is either really stupid, or they think they are invincible.
Why not use a Kindle 2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Kindle, from what I see - they are far better for reading digital text on screen. I saw one once in a computer shop here in the UK and they are fantastic.
Apart from a nice visualisation, is there any interesting things to note? I notice that there's some swirly patterns going on - that seems quite interesting.

I don't have much knowledge in this area but it sounds do-able..
