ATMs That Dispense Gold Bars Coming To America 482
tetrahedrassface writes "As the US economic woes continue unabated, a German company is bringing gold-bearing ATMs to Mainstreet America. The machines accept credit cards, and will dispense 1 gram, 5 gram, 10 gram and 1 ounce units, as well as various gold coins. The company hopes to install 35 bullion machines in the United States this year, and will hopefully have several hundred up and running by next year. The machines will be decorated like giant gold ingots and be over two meters tall. Physical gold has both pros and cons, but from a safety standpoint would it be fine to have a couple of ounces in your pocket while walking around the mall? The giant, gold-dispensing ATMs will monitor the market conditions for gold every 10 minutes in order to reflect spot price changes as they occur." We already covered similar machines installed in travel hubs across Germany.

"Uncompromising, sure. Idealist, hell yes, but extremist ? How so ? Does he advocate violence ? Does he say we must break laws ? "
Following the laws and not advocating violence do doesn't mean some one is not a extremist.
Look at the Westboro Church, they follow the laws, and they don't advocate violence. A lot of people say they're extremists.

I'm not 100% sure but I think this Gen Console situation is this
1.) Wii
2.) Xbox 360
3.) PS3
The 360 is beating the PS3, but the Wii is appealing to the Casual gamer. I know more people who have a Wii, and nothing else. While the 360 and PS3 appeals more to the Hardcore gamers.

Indeed, can you imagine what some bad web developer might add to their website. I could see a lot of web sites getting a lof of crap bogging down your browser as it tries to render the site.
But I think some browsers give you the option on what to load and what not to load.

Credit Cards That Think They Are Gadgets 239
holy_calamity writes "Pittsburgh startup Dynamics Inc has unveiled gadget-like credit cards with buttons, lights and even displays built into the same space as a conventional card. One card has two buttons on the front, which, when pressed, rewrite the data on the card's magnetic stripe, allowing it to act as multiple bank or credit cards in one. Another has several buttons and a display in place of the card's number. Only after entering a PIN is the magnetic stripe populated and the full card number revealed, and after a short time both go blank again for security."
I wonder how long it'll be until somebody builds onboard biometrics into one of these things.

The comment was more towards how people jump to conclusion that companies do something that they believe is unethicial. I myself don't believe any companies are evil, they're just doing what they can to survive.

He didn't say that there was anything wrong with the zune. It just wasn't successful as MS wanted it to be. Sure there's a lot of people out there who really like the Zune(including myself), but like you said Apple has a unshakeable grip on the market.
