Tell that to the Prime Minister of Australia, she might be a red head but she makes up for it by being and out and proud Atheist.

I think posters are completely ignoring the potential this would have on understand humanity more. Once we have a million detailed lives we could run it through software AI to come up with unique connections and insights we would never have picked up on before?

Sad to see his stance on genetic engineering is so negative. How does he expect us to recover so many extinct species and continue to advance if we don't master our biological side?

Those goats aren't being thrown out in the wild to breed, they're being used to create stronger materials that will likely be used to protect us from the dangers of climate change. Sure we have risks of contamination, but to be put off advancement because of what-ifs would mean we'd still be in caves fearing the wrath of fire.

For dark energy I'm a recently converted believer in Howard Bloom's torus shaped universe, dark energy is replaced by gravity and the shape of the universe. His book "The God Problem" is highly recommended!

Yes I've commented similarly in the past few months, the book was that good I want others to read it too!

opps never mind, RTFA and it's right there at the bottom :)

How about they work on creating something worth paying/subscribing to? Simple to suggest, hard to deliver. Perhaps that's the reason? I've been getting into Giant Bomb more lately and if I had a job I would consider trying out their premium service.

Only in the way we currently manage cattle! Check this out, very very interesting! http://www.ted.com/talks/allan_savory_how_to_green_the_world_s_deserts_and_reverse_climate_change.html

no, no, no. It's EA, it's all about micro-transactions, only 99c per help request sent and received!

Their GUI seems pretty damn powerful to me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkDD03yeLnU

True, I have 16GB of ram but since 99% of games are 32bit it's limited to 2GB. Even then, what 64bit games utilize 8GB of ram? Being able to design a game knowing you have 8GB of ram to use will result in some huge advantages.

Yes just like how we got an xbox emulator shortly after it's release?

Why can't we get a news app that generates tiles for new articles in selected categories? Imagine waking up and the home screen stares at you with a couple new tiles on articles you'd likely want to read. Do the same with email filters to highlight important emails.

Android and iOS already cover the static screens well, why not apply some further design iterations and produce a more living/personal screen that reduces a few of your daily activities to a single tap away!

If the theory of our universe being in the shape of a torus is correct we are near the end of this universe!

So far all the theoretical data holds up, explaining the rapid expansion during the beginning of our universe using gravity and not "dark energy". As well as the reason we aren't swimming in equal parts anti-matter, the big bang ejected matter and anti-matter from it's two opposing poles (hmm this sounds familiar). Using the observed period of early rapid expansion the resulting estimated time we meet up with our anti-matter twin is only 1.8 billion years! The portion of this theory I find comforting is that when we collide with anti-matter on the outside of the torus shape the resulting collision ends up being the birth of a new universe.

I like to picture it as the universe using a wave pattern that's mirrored by it's anti-matter twin, the vital wave pattern that we see repeated in different mediums that were born billions of years apart (light and water). It's an exciting theory and much more comforting than the big freeze. For those of your out there that got a little wet or hard reading this check out Howard Bloom and his book "The God Problem", the book presents a fascinating take on our history that I wasn't aware of and paints a beautiful picture of reality using patterns.

I take it you haven't seen the January sales figures of the WiiU, win seems to be the exact opposite of Nintendo's strategy.

Apple give a nicely detailed breakdown of how many apps were sold and where and under which tax code, as well as how much tax was paid to each. It's enough information to comply with my quarterly GST statements in Australia and my accountant confirmed to me everything was fine when I was curious.
