I see the problem here and you're both right. Minuteman Three was developed in the 1960s, but the latest iteration Minuteman One Hundred and Eleven still needs to be tested... you don't think the military-industrial complex has been idling for these past four decades now do you?

In a country of 24+ million starving people, it probably would be impossible to find a body double for that pudgy lunatic.

The folks at Kleenex must be worried. When people can print their own tissues at home, why would they buy a box of them in the store?

Google's posted a half-hour video explaining how the transition will work? They're crazy if they think any regular user is going to spend a half hour learning how to use a new browser... just make it work like the old one or don't expect people to use it.

If you don't know the difference between working productively and "making a boycott app for smartphones", then don't complain about your minimum-wage lifestyle.

Get their hands on this data to then make a boycott app for the smartphones so we know who to not do business with.

If you spent your time working productively, instead of wasting it boycotting productive people, maybe you'd make some money yourself.

What are the politicians going to do to address these loopholes?

Close them up and then create some new ones, obviously.

Google Releases Street View Images From Fukushima Ghost Town 63

Posted by samzenpus on Friday March 29, 2013 @03:02AM from the new-fallout-map dept.

mdsolar writes in with news that Goolge has released Street View pictures from inside the zone that was evacuated after the Fukushima disaster. "Google Inc. (GOOG) today released images taken by its Street View service from the town of Namie, Japan, inside the zone that was evacuated after the Fukushima nuclear disaster in March 2011. Google, operator of the world's biggest Web search engine, entered Namie this month at the invitation of the town's mayor, Tamotsu Baba, and produced the 360-degree imagery for the Google Maps and Google Earth services, it said in an e-mailed statement. All of Namie's 21,000 residents were forced to flee after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami crippled the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant, about 8 kilometers (5 miles) from the town, causing the world's worst nuclear accident after Chernobyl. Baba asked Mountain View, California-based Google to map the town to create a permanent record of its state two years after the evacuation, he said in a Google blog post."
