Rain-X worked for the fine scratches on my eyeglasses. It also repels dust and water an added benefit. I'm not sure how well it would work on a CD/DVD, but it may be worth a try. Lucky for my I'm a stickler about how I handle my CD/DVD's and they rarely get smudges or scratches. Now, if I could only train myself to handle my eyeglasses as carefill as my CD/DVD's....
Erica Hill and at least 2 other members of the TechTV news department landed gigs with CNN/HN. Liam Mayclem hosts a show, Eye on the Bay, on CBS 5 in the San Francisco Bay Area. TechTV was a great resource. It was contantly informing and entertaining. It kept pace quite well with "Internet Speed" of news delivery. I watched ZDTV from it's start until it's demise. G4TV is a shallow network that dosen't even resemble ZDTV/TechTV.
The "Free Market Place" benefit to Consumers has yet to help as you describe. Look what is happening right now. Consolidation of corporations is happening not to lower costs to consumers, but to increase profits and generate new streams of income to benefit the Executives and large Shareholders. When was the last time you saw a service charge for your phone go down? Still think deregulation of utilities is a good thing after what happened in California? Remember how ATT was broken up, only to recenty reappear from the consolidation and buying of local bell companies by Southern Bell?
Any extra charges placed on Google or any other company's bandwidth, will trickle back as charges to you and me in one form or another.
Until other software is predominant in the world outside of school, it will be prudent to use software in school that will be found in the future jobs of graduates. In general terms that means Microsoft products. Why train students to use only Linux or other open source software if over half the students will never see or use it in their jobs?
Don't be fooled into thinking that any charges, even to big Companies, won't find their way to our own wallets as consumers. The big Corporations will be under the gun to recoup those Telco charges, that's what amazes me about the proposal and it's seeming acceptance in Washington. Welcome to the "United Corporations of America"!
Don't forget that if the Telco's get their way, you can be sure that Even Mighty Google will start looking for ways to charge you for their services. This charge could come in many forms, intrusive adds, steering searches to the sites that pay the most, charge for add free searches, limit results unles you get their "Premium" service. Don't be fooled! Telcos cry poor while making profits large enough to swallow each other. Telco's have Black Fiber and they continue to squeeze more and more bandwidth out of existing fiber using new optical techniques for transmitting data.

That's why for years Mac user have only had a one button Mouse. They can't figure out what to do with a more efficient 5 button/scroll wheel mouse.;-p
This will surely lead to the websites willing to pay the TelCos a toll, passing that cost on to you via more intrusive adds or subscription fees. It's like they way Banks have been nickel and diming customers for the privlage of using the customers money.
RCN is rolling out, from the Eastcoast to the Westcoast, their MACH 20 service (20Mbps Down / 2Mbps Up). If they feel the need to go fiber to your door, it will be much less then the proverbial "Last Mile". They would need to only replace the current Nodes with all fiber ones and run fiber the last 800 feet or so to each customer. They planned ahead and have an Overbuilt network with a fair amount of unused bandwidth. Of course they will milk all the capacity out of the existing cable first.
I have never owned a Roomba, but I do own 3 Dogs. I checked out a Roomba in a Sharper image store and saw that by it's design, it would take me longer to clean the dog hair out of it's rotating brush, than it would take me to use my canister vacuum and do the cleaning myself.
Poor design unless you have no pets or carpet. It's more of a "sweeper" than a vacuum.

The Egg coming before the Chicken makes sense if you think of the conception/gestation as a model of evolution itself. Simple cellular stuctures divide, combine, mutate, specialize and in time become more complex.
In all the pictures of prototypes I have seen they are always stationary and viewed head-on. What about off angle views of the cloaked object, like trying to see an LCD screen from an oblique angle? If they cloaked object moves, what is the effect as the viewer percieves?
"You know how your eyes always flick to something that moves (animated ads, anyone?" This makes my eyes flick so fast to the "x" or "Close" button, I couldn't tell you what the ads say.
The ties to those in power 30 years ago leads to this President and those around him. They are not Neo-Conservatives, they are Neo-Facists. Besides just becuase a wrong has been done and ignored in the past, does not make it ok in the present or future. Hwa t is at issue here is we have the most secretive Presidential administration EVER and a Legislative branch that has failed to protect the citizens of this country from abuse bay this administration. They haven't even finished the Report on use/misuse of Pre-War intelligence. Why do you think they were so eager to look into an extramarital affair so diligently, yet fail to look into isues of much greater import to this country and it's citizens?

I don't find it very "Creative" to only have the download in the "Google Video Player(.gvp) format. I have plenty of players why do I need Googles? So they can track my usage?

I never thought I would lived under a Facist administration as a Citizen of the US. Boy was I wrong.
I told a Conservative B.A.C. friend of mine in 2000, "You better be careful how you vote, you might just get what you asked for."

What will be the source for our Hydrogen needs in the future? Under Bush's watch it will surely be Oil. This will lead to more calls for opening Anwar and the West Coast to drilling.

When I got my Canon S2-IS I looked for the best SD memory and got the SanDisk Extreme III SD 1GB card. I know it's not widely available yet(I got mine online), but you would think this test would have the Extreme III 2GB card in it's lineup. http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(1973)-SDSDX3- 2048-SanDisk_Extreme_III_SD_2GB.aspx
Excuse me? Since when is more buttons lame? I'll take my Logitech G5 mouse over a single button Mac mouse anyday.

Was that the one where they went out in a yellow inflatable raft to take samples and measurements? That is the on I was thinking of and linking to.
