um apple didn't remove spaces it is still there. I am using it now.

The just merged the functionality into expose. I middle click my mouse up comes expose and I select the desktop I want. if you have an app running on one desktop and you are in another just click on the app in the dock it will take you right there.

Apple is going to skip the iWatch and jump right to the WristProjector. It will look like a bracelet with the time on it. Tap the device and a small projection screen will display against your forearm**. Allowing you to read and respond. touch the band again and it disappears. Using a laser keyboard projected from the same band the system will be able to respond to inputs tapped onto your skin(similar to celluon laser keyboard).

**(Shaved skin only hairs will interfere with the projection systems)

SYFY already has a tv show about it. They include time travel to make it sound fiction.

Quite right. the problem is what is the correct way in a place like the Ukraine. People are telling america to get involved and to protect the ukraine, but that leads directly to them saying we didn't do it right.

America shouldn't be the sole super power, I wouldn't mind having a United Europe with equal military strength so that America doesn't have to shoulder the burden alone. Take Libya it took American fighters and awacs to clear out the surface to air defenses so that Europe could send in air cover. As Europe didn't have the firepower to do it alone, yet the USA needed just one Carrier.

You don't want an america that would have gotten involved with the Ukraine. If we had the war would last for years.

Here is the thing no one wants Team America world police. Yet that is exactly what you want. You want an America that does all the dirty hard work for you in keeping peace. You want your entire defense to be backed up by America, yet when America actually does what is nessecary you put dumb limits out there just to make you feel good.

If America stopped defending Europe Europe would fall again with in 30 Years. Every day I see the cracks. Cracks that only get covered because of a desire to look better than America.

The middle East won't be solved until Islam stands up and says enough blood shed. Iraq has been heading this way for decades. If we didn't kill Saddam then upon his death the same thing would have happened. Just 20 years later.

the low tech solution? login. I only see slashdot classic. the conversation view is better, it is easier to follow long threads. The best part? Slashdot classic allows you to login once and keeps you logged in. Mobile and Beta slashdot log me out of the system after every post, If I can login at all.

One would think Slashdot would have tested user logins without someone like 1password or apple keychain providing login every time.

The thing is a smart watch means you have to have your phone on you in order to function. In order to get it's updates it has to connect through your phone.

Now if we could build a smart watch with all phone functionality into it, and have a 48 hour battery life that would be something. Now all smart watches are at best is a secondary screen for your smart phone who can show 20 characters at a time.

As the another poster said I would rather have a bluetooth earring. that would do text to voice for messages to me. I say earring I have always thought it would be cool to have a chinese dragon clipped to my ear whose tail wrapped around and into the ear canal for the speaker.

Ah but HP is already testing and design products with memresistors. Of course progress is going slow because HP sucks at bringing products To the market.

yea and more"Japanese" cars are currently made in America and "American" Cars are made in America.

Define in the field. The GP stated for the military. putting a needed part on a special plane and flying it around the world is definitely more expensive and time consuming. If a part breaks at Sea for a Naval Vessel I would like to see Fedex get the part there faster. If the Part is in California, and you are in New York then yes you are correct.

Actually you should encourage people like him to drink up for the ultimate high.

Darwinism at its finest.

Anyone who wants to shop online at work will shop online at work with a bigger screen.

The amazon app while useful is a pain to use on a small screen.

Now if you combined amazon prime music and movies into the phone then it might make sense. however even then the use cases for watching movies and listen to music is quite small compared to the whole mobile phone market.

and pick their pockets.

Bonus points for letting them live long enough to get all the change out of their pockets.

This is something everyone forgets.
It takes decades to build long term reliable file systems.

ZFS, BTFS, are less than a decade old.
Windows runs on NTFS Version something. NTFS was started in what year?
HFS, and then HFS + was built in what year?
How long has Microsoft been promising WinFS?

File systems change but only slowly. This is good. you need a good long track record to convince people they won't lose files every ten years due to random malfunctions.

my first thought was along the lines of so not battlefield ready is it thief ready? will some thieves use these to break into buildings?i there a movie about it yet?
