Except knowing Apple, if you shook it, it'd just call a random contact! (And now that I think about it, I'm sure there's a drunk-dialing app that works this way)
I've noticed that with my new touchscreen phone, even with text prediction it's a lot harder to do it because I have to look at the screen to make sure I'm hitting the right buttons, or at all. With my previous phone, I could just feel the buttons, and I knew what the text prediction would come up with, so I could write entire texts without looking at the phnoe until it was done. Not that it's still entirely safe, but if you're going to do it anyway..
It's a lot different in the fact you don't need to be a large company and spend thousands of dollars on special developer units, and licenses, and software to do the developing. Apple has a one time cost of $100 to anyone, all you need is a Mac, which are sadly cheaper than an Xbox dev unit. (I don't know about Wii's, but the process is the same.) And, the development SDK is free for anyone. Verizon's process is, you have to spend about $500 on a certificate from Verisign, you have to be a big enough company to convince Qualcomm to give you testing rights on your phone (which you also have to buy several different ones to test on) and then Verizon might review your application. The BREW application development process is terrible.
The states already make you get your car inspected on a fairly regular basis
What states? "The States"? (As in the United States?) The 30 states that the insurance companies are offering the GPS service in? My state (Michigan) has no such requirement. Also, if they provided this is an actual GPS navigation unit (like a Garmin or Tomtom) then it would be a lot cooler, at least. New unit every year or two, or something.
I would have recommended Left 4 Dead, an absolutely terriffic 'zombie horror movie' game focused on co-op/multiplayer. Of course, since Left 4 Dead 2 was announced, I'd wait for that, but it's sure to be better than the original.
Some of the above comments state that the supression instead causes cell death, which then allows non-broken cells to properly replace them. The damaged cells will die, not recover.
Game developers need to respect the rights of their customers and shut up.
Woah, calm down! Next you'll be suggesting that they should stop implementing DRM because the only people it stops from using their software are the legitimate customers!
I don't know what PNGcrush does but I'm 99% willing to bet it would break my procedure. There's probably tons of things I could do to optimize it, too. One thing I don't know if this service does, though, is use the alpha channel to make the dimensions of the picture smaller.
How do you know it contains a hidden file? I've written a file<->PNG converter, it's rather simple and you can do a large number of things to obfuscate it (reorder the bits, etc.) but overall, you can't really tell it's a 'file' unless you actually look at it. I think you're thinking of stenography, which this is not. This is changing the bits of the file into RGB values. PNG's lack of compression allows even conversion on the other side.
My grandparents still call their internet AOL despite the fact that I haven't let them install AOL on any of their computers in years since they got DSL.
There is an option for the uploader to disable their video from being played off the Youtube website itself, that's more than likely what you're running into. Also, that is kind of incorrect, all HQ/HD videos -are- h264 content (find a Youtube downloader, you'll get an.mp4 file, but the non HQ/HD are.flv) but the problem you're referring to is it's being played through Flash instead of directly through the browser.

That is correct, thank you.

Can't you just post a link to a bug tracker in your product description?
I know that it's not out yet, but isn't this a perfect example of what Google Wave is for?
They must have forgot to import makeitfast;
Unless of course, Microsoft wants to get it into the kernel source, like described in the summary, and then it needs to be GPLv2.
Because kernel patches have to be GPLv2?
Demand for electric-powered vehicles would skyrocket!

But Belgium could block Yahoo! And then Yahoo could yawn and go on with their lives.

Who the heck moderated this interesting? It's supposed to be funny!

Insert XKCD joke here about extrapolation, can't open it at work.
Productive? You must be new here.
Er, I should say I don't know PNGcrush works, as I do know what it does.

Well, it wasn't an analogy, for one thing!
