Aren't most motherboards sort of like this now? They come with a dual bios, one of which is read-only. If something happens to your writable bios, you boot from the read-only and copy it over to the writable bios, and then reboot from the writable one.
That site... it's hurting my brain. I don't know whether to laugh, or cry, or huddle in a corner and start sucking my thumb. Carbon HDMI cable
There are significant, audible differences between HDMI cables. We're not sure how this is possible, since HDMI is purported to be a purely digital interface, however, the sonic differences are repeatable and consistent from system to system.

One thing this chart doesn't take into account is how many other people would find the automation useful. That changes the calculation significantly, especially if it is something that could be sold to others.

Disclaimer: I could probably be classified as a Google fanboy, but I do not own Google Glass.
I think these types of arguments are silly, because they take an already existing issue and then pretend that Glass is the only cause. Seriously, look around the next time you're in a restaurant. There are always people pulling out their cell phones to snap a picture of their food or friends, and of course people they don't know will be in the background of the photos. This is really what you're worried about with Glass? This already happens.
Do you think that the problem will be worse with Glass? If so, why? And how much worse?

Debunking a Viral Internet Post About Breastfeeding Racism 0 comments marked Troll
We Need Distributed Social Networks More Than Ello 0 comments marked Troll
An Algorithm to End the Lines for Ice at Burning Man 0 comments marked Troll
