'Surface will become no thicker than a sheet of glass. It's not going to have any cameras or projectors because the cameras will be embedded in the device itself.'
So it does have a camera but it doesn't have a camera...wtf?
Those cables are for sending that pr0n to me, high speed from the USA, land of the free - not for proving anything scientific; besides I can lookup 'climate change' on Google or Bing or even Slashdot and hey presto - all the pros and cons are already there including lots of data (which paradoxically I could download but that would use more electricity which would probably come from a coal fired or gas fired electricity station nearby)?
Who do these scientists think they are, telling me that their scientific experiments and data collecting might tell the truth with careful analysis; I believe what I read on the Internet!
Well, won't that guy who pretended to be Jaws with that fin be PISSED now...he could have done it for real!
Yes, I know it was created by Google but it does give a standard API for social networks? It seems that Facebook, which is probably the right thing from their perspective, are the biggest player not implementing it.

I would have loved the opportunity to try out my game skills against my peers instead of having my canoe oar stolen by some arse hole of a kid canoeing up the river. Health isn't just physical, it's social health too and as others have pointed out, 3 hrs of video games a day leaves plenty of time to socialise.
An Identified Flying Object...FLEE!
I meant to say, "Opera enables people to view sites that ridicule public figures."
In a surprise move, Apple bans Opera on the iPhone and iPad. When questioned company spokesmen would not say why, although an unnamed source says that it is because, "Safari enables people to view sites that ridicule public figures."
Safari, Apple says, is allowed because it uses Apple's iCensor.
Linux is ostensibly better than Windows and OS X because it's open source but Windows and OS X still dominate the desktop market and will for a long time since. Since when has being Open Source been equal to ubiquitous?
Realistically, Flash to iPhone would be easier excepting for Apple's licensing and such. One thing Apple DOES do well is standardise its interface and APIs. HTML5 isn't well supported and won't be implemented for years and YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS from now by which time real people will have gotten fed up and the various implementations WILL have diverged. And then we'll have everyone bleating about HTML6 to solve all our problems...Flash -> iPhone seemed to be a proof of concept against a non-moving target. It's just that said target went and made it illegal to do so.
