I was thinking more along the lines of it making sense to name a cell phone "that flips" "UpStage", when you can name it, say, "FlipSide", or "Reverse". "UpStage" is so much cooler. I mean, wow, a phone that is toward, at, on, of, or relating to the rear part of a stage.
The Samsung "toward, at, on, of, or relating to the rear part of a stage" must really be something, not at all like it's ugly cousins, the Samsung FlipSide and Samsung Reverse...
A little bit like Microsoft Windows Genuine Advantage, where Genuine equals the word "bend", and Advantage equals "over"
Just a meaningless rant on naming semantics.
Disregarding the discussions of the relevance of IQ tests and the relevance of BMI, I feel inclined to think that the majority of those tested, who decreased the test score for the high BMI segment in the study, are neither physically active, nor intellectually active. Is it not true that the brain needs "maintenance" in the form of challanges and problem solving to maintain performance? If my theory is in any way conected to reality, it is more a question of life-style, rather than fat eating brain cells.
First: Nice. I bet Pixar and Walmart will want a couple of these babies.
Second: 2GHz chips in cell phones? No way, it's more like 450-500MHz scalable chips in those brick sized cell phone PDAs, and like 200-300 scaleable chips in regular cell phones. A processor operating at 2GHz in a cell phone would likely not only melt, or atleast damage the thing from the heat produced, but also make short work of the batteries. In fact, I'm quite sure, that if you removed the active cooling from a 2ghz processor, and instead of putting a really big copper heatsink on it, placed a lithium battery on it, it would either explode, or burn like magnesium. At the very, VERY least, the chip would go the way of the dodos, and the battery would degrade and lose it's ability to hold current.
Am I talking out of my ass?

Not by vacuum perhaps, but that little lump would be exposed to some heavy interstellar radiation.

Dungbeatles ftw. Without them, much of Africa WOULD be swimming in the stuff... :)

Mkay, my bad ;)
