If this can be implemented into research in academia, is searching through decades of articles and abstracts finally going to be more efficient? Provided that they are electronic of course. Poor citations, inaccurate keyword tags, obscure sources...ahh reminds me of grad school.
This is much like an article about the underwater hockey association I read today.
It lures you in into reading it and for the rest of the day you are wondering...the concept is well and the end-result works...but why do we want this? WHY?
Is there really such a need for underwater hockey and $250 ipod dock/screens?
Don't invent something for the sake of inventing it.
For "very expensive" costs who would actually go an install this toy like system in their home?
I mean I can imagine people doing it just for laughs but how much of this can you take day after day. Long after "the wow effect" wears off wouldn't you rather have an attractive blond animatronic over some bonehead?
Since driving a hybrid is more of a personal statement for suburbanites to proclaim how environmentally sound they are...I guess a 80K price tag would be going after...rich, mid-life crisis suburban men who need to drive to walmart once in while? Unless they're able to charge the car at work, I doubt it can even reliably used to commute any substantial distance.
I am fully supportive of doing something about the fuel and energy issues, but these kind of cars don't seem to be cost-effective yet for the masses
There has to be some grad level psych courses that I've taken that touched on this. if only I paid attention
Picking and renting a movie is a complex process that involves more than the enjoyment from being entertained. People also like to feel that they've made a good decision and that they are in control. Experiements show that just letting people pick an object out of others would make them feel better about it (the choice makes you feel better about the object, not the other way round). The truth is that there just isn't THAT many movies that you feel that you just have to watch, most titles are just about average to you.
Now factor in that most people feel that the subscription fee is a sunk cost, and would rather get a bad movie with negative utility than just leave their queue empty.
So the result is you lose the sense that you're making a good decision, since out of the multitude of titles, you don't have enough information to decide. You feel that you've paid so you get bad movie that you would rather not watch. AND at the end of the day, whatever is on tv is just so much more convenience and less of a commitment than watching the mediocre movie from netflix.
That looks suspiciously like a Dell 5100 that I used to own..
I agree that its time to see a company that straight out takes responsibility for some obvious screw up. My old Dell didn't blow up but it was close, anyone owning anything similar would know how the heatsink had a fan that sucked air in from the bottom right of the unit and had NOTORIOUS problems with dust. A new machine was alright, any unsuspecting user would find the heatsink clogging with dust in a few months and the machine would boot up with a temperature of 50 degrees celcius and pretty soon would auto-shutoff from the heat whenever CPU usage was high (5100 even worse than the lower spec 5150). People complained and Dell said well we know its a probme but its YOUR responsibility to clear the dust every week...its like a owning a car that needed its oil changed every week, and besides for a lot of people the dust was unreversable by then.

well good for him
Folks here in the midwest still take 30 years to pay off their mortgage. Maybe we should start thinking about moving to India.

at least the whole Ferrari analogy gave a whole lot of people something to talk about
