Yeah, my coffee shop has one of these. We're located in a building owned by Oracle (the hardware/software dev company) so there's no shortage of nerds who like new technology stuff. No one uses our SpeedPay. I mean a few people have, but every time their payment has gone through I've scratched my head and wondered what went wrong, (seeing that their payment suddenly went through without me swiping a card) it's that rare.
With that said, we have customers that have upgraded through multiple iPhones, and their (Apple) adoption of this would surely lead to a lot more usage of this technology. Why don't they take the Google approach and buy out SpeedPay, then use implementations on all their products. That way, by virtue of Apple products being universally acceptable for SpeedPay, SpeedPay becomes highly implemented and then other hardware needs to pay Apple to implement SpeedPay on their device (step 3: ????) leading to profit for Apple in the long run?
Time is a human invented concept to explain movement in the fourth dimension. It doesn't necessarily have to exist, but our concept of hours and calenders help us explain the phenomenon of why right now the state of the world is different from where it was in the perceived past. With that said, a different number is the same as an extra hour; its all relative and made up anyways.

FTFA: Blizzard also control three of the other remaining six pillars, with World of Warcraft and Diablo each getting a spot, as well as their secret new MMO project. Bungie's unnannounced new IP is also up there, with nobody surprised when Guitar Hero and Call of Duty take out the last two.
you seem to have gotten all but the bungie IP thing
Yeah, me, you, and a lot of other/.ers. Seriously, there's making a catchy title, and there's downright misleading. NOTHING in TFA about how to deal with zombie attacks.
As much as I grew up with The Simpson's, Twin Peaks' main character is by far greater than Homer Jay Simpson. Unless there's a secret contingent of David Lynch fans around, I've an impossible battle to win trying to convince anyone...so I won't try more than just bitching that Agent Dale Cooper is the best character every made, and Harry Potter and Buffy shouldn't even be mentioned as runner-ups in such a list.
So what is right. Who cares if WikiLeaks is downright stealing a lot of their leaks. Not that they are, this could be some disinformation made by people who are threatened by some things that have come out on that website. But even IF they're stealing, those documents are vital to keeping a lot of the power structure in check with the everyday citizen. Videos of military murders that had been misreported in the official story, etc...
Yeah, they mentioned that there were some weapons, but check out 9:30 on the short video. There's a wounded man (the journalist) and the gunner keeps egging him on to pick up a weapon so he can kill him (but a camera would have done the trick, too), then when a rescue team (unarmed) tries to save his life, they kill all of them. There's international treaties the US has signed that forbid killing people involved in taking care of the wounded.
Yes, but it's a good enough reason to mod people down on/. No news there, though.
Anyone else think that this whole "ISO OOXML corruption" story is just being exaggerated and carried on by the MS-hate machines out there (slashdot being one)?

Should be: "AppleCrate I (at the time I didn't realize that it was number "I" ;-)) was great fun".
crap, now I forget the html code for sarcasm...

http://elbitz.net/home.php is good, but they only open up registering every now and then (I remember I waited like 2 months to get my user). In general, though I just use the same popular torrent sites for everything else I get for books, too and I've gotten 6.28GB that way. Also, appear to have just found a .pdf with a huge list of ebook sites (and one for how to swear in all languages!). Haven't tried any of them, but go for it:

And prevent the rise of "leave Britney alone" guy(/girl?). I think not!
I was browsing this site looking for more good ebook site links, but wasn't finding any. Here's one I already know about: http://elbitz.net/ enjoy!
Thank you, for pointing out Wikipedia is in error. I'll edit the article immediately.
