Desktop only?

And if ~60GHz bands are used, it stops working when it rains...(oxygen absorption).

No, it's outsourced because it can be done remotely and it's high cost. Opposite example is burger flipping - has to be done locally and it's low cost.

Actually, a linux based "documentation reader" could have been more stable if designed with this single purpose in mind. At the least it could have been a closely controlled software environment (known, tested and not auto upgrading).

But not just because it's LINUX.

So they did not listen to the stewardess and see what happened! :-)

So why go to hydrocarbons rather use methanol (M100)? Granted, would need 2x bigger tanks (energy density). Is just compatibility with todays' cars or there are other technical reasons (corrosion, vapors, toxicity?).

I think they may be after sulfur then?

I use FB because everybody already is on it.
I use Skype because everybody is on it.

So how about a system in which the only representation of both sides is from a pool of appointed lawyers...like a "universal legal service" (kin to "universal medical services" of some countries)?

You know, aether was "laid" millenia ago :-)

I do not know much about minecraft mods but I still seem to remember they are Java as well. If they port minecraft into MS tech (DirecX and C# presumably) what happens to the community mods?

This is not iPhone specific. FTFPatent:

"In accordance with the invention, a head-mounted display system and method of operation are provided in which the system can allow users to couple and decouple a portable electronic device with a head-mounted device. The portable electronic device may for example be physically and/or operatively coupled and decoupled with the head-mounted device. In some embodiments, the two devices may be considered temporarily integrated. "

It appears to patent any holder ("a head-mounted device") of any portable device worn on one's head that's providing a "display".
