Partner the watch with a Google-Glass-type augmented accessory and it becomes much more usable.

At some future point I can see human-embeddable devices becoming commonplace, and this is a beta proving ground for the concept. The phone is an accessory people carry everywhere... shrink it and figure out a way for batteries to be charged through motion or vibration and have much improved recharged cycles. I can see someone getting an ear implant to go along with it.

May not happen in our lifetime, but it's not so far out there as to be impossible either. Think of the Human+ movement.

Exactly. Or at their clinics or at any of their other functions. I'm shocked, I tell you!

If only they were armed... oh wait.

And then stuff like this is just so wrong you have to wonder if anybody is in control of their mental faculties at the NRA. http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/05/03/1961871/after-child-shooting-nra-conference-peddles-guns-for-kids/

True, the lists are not the same, but I think (based on limited research I just did) that it's reasonable to say most gun owners are NRA members.

I'm a gun owner and strongly anti-NRA. I support strong background checks, gun restrictions (caliber, rate of fire, and magazine capacity), and closing the private sales loophole (iow, requiring background checks in all situations). I do not advocate hunting except in certain circumstances (and I don't eat meat anymore which is part of that) or teaching children to shoot. Teenagers start to become old enough and responsible enough for that.

The NRA tends to think of guns as the solution to a lot of problems, which means now you have new problems. I also do not share the thinking that our guns would be sufficient to fight off the government. "Well-regulated" is very important to me.

My other responses on this thread give a couple of NRA policy examples... making a home shooting range for children as well as trying to arm schoolteachers. Both would be funny if The Onion wrote them. The fact that Americans really want these things is frightening.

Have you never heard of Wayne LaPierre and Ted Nugent? Have you never heard of the NRA's position on guns in schools ( http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2013/04/02/nra-school-security-hutchinson/2045565/ ), or their recommendations on building indoor gun ranges for children? ( http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/05/08/1978921/nra-youth-magazine-home-shooting-ranges/ )

Perhaps, sir, you should consider coming out from under that rock before calling people names.

If the NRA already collects names, who's to say they don't share them with the government already, willingly or unwillingly? Seems like a pretty easy nut to crack... and oh boy they have a lot of nuts in that org.

Marketshare for IOS will probably drop, but have you seen the average IOS user's statistics versus Android and others? Have you seen how much money IOS users spend versus the rest? Which is more used by business? You may understand statistics but you're missing out on the big picture here.

This is one of many reviews. http://techland.time.com/2013/04/16/ios-vs-android/

Confusing isn't a word I'd apply to Apple products past or present. Maybe you're thinking of someone else? And the "chips from anyone actually good" -- you do know these machines really accomplished a lot with those chips, with their very wide data buses and relatively short pipelines, right?

Oh, and you seem pretty angry for some reason. I think a lot of that is caused by your confusion.

We're very close.

Elegant and no energy costs. It recycles something we all have handy. Easy to install also. Hard to argue with all those benefits!

Do people search for other things?

It's an interesting parallel problem. I wonder if GPU processing will be the best architecture for it. (and keeping in form, I didn't read the article yet)

Most colo contracts include "hands and eyes" time where they will hard power-cycle machines, push a button, grant physical access to a vendor who is pre-approved to do some work... simple things. Whether you trust them enough to do that and whether it's a good idea to do that are separate issues. In the case of an emergency though it really helps.

Assuming you're using the correct driver, it sounds like a cable issue. I've had frustrating printing problems disappear when I switched cables.

Wish it wasn't true, but you hit the nail on the head. My iPad 1 is much less useful now than it was out of the box.
