Need any more proof your elections are rigged ?

I guess the "Not so portable flying device" was ditched as a boring name huh ;)

I can only see tow things coming out of this.... Putin Flying one to wow the crowds and Chuck Norris crashing one in the desert. Nice though, but still, a world where these would be flying around would be rather a dangerous place indeed since most people still haven't mastered driving.

The chance of this being used to censor and rewrite materials that some find offensive is staggering....

SO we're hanging around Spielberg and Locas I see. DOn't stop to consider that these works lose much after being "tranmogriphied", but this could also be used to make MSNBC sound like FOX news at the touch of a button. No thanks. It's no longer classical literature once it's been that badly abridged.

Too many people planning with zero real life experience in the trenches, you know the story.... But it's all about the newest biggest thing and the money, always the money...

Intelligence is rare, stupidity is infinite.....so yes.

Exactly, but how much money will change hands in the process ? How different is this from the Industrialized Defense Complex throwing money out the window on projects they know will probably fail in the long run that make millionaires ?

Been hearing this kind of management nonsense for too way too long now.... Cloud computing will sooner or later bring down Governments and Companies that choose to have their Data and Infrastructure supported and held by third parties....
