$10,000 was the price of the first Lisa Computer from Apple - um 30 years ago. The Pro seems fairly priced in comparison:)

Brilliant!! THe UK will now be able to use the nations pubs to generate energy. Given the high domestic alcohol consumption the UK will be energy independent in less than a year. It could even become a patriotic duty to drink even more:)

China seems to flip a switch on BGP and all the traffic gets routed through them. The US can't stop that. The problem is that the rest of world relies on US benevolence. Something they seem to be re-evaluating as we speak.

If I can question whether I have freewill then I have right. I haven't read the article yet - bet that is what it says - you know it does. Somebody go find out for me!

Finally something Google Glass will actually be good for:(

First programing in itself is not difficult to learn. Evidenced by the massive number of self taught programmers myself included. Second given how rapid technology is accelerating programming as a useful skill could very well be obsolete is 15-20 years. Finally critical thinking, curiosity and a willingness to take risks are timeless. Teach your children well (give them values). They will be better off.

Thank Congress for selling the spectrum and not setting standards in the publics best interest. The carriers are in debt up to their eyeballs - the consumer pays - there is no real competition.

To many people not enough room. Japanese society places great pressure to conform. This is mainly due to contraints placed on individuals that need to cooperate and share limited resources. It does not seem unlikely that this would manifest itself in "societal avoidance" in certain individuals that are unable to cope with the increasing demands. But it could just as like be video game addiction - they got to be doing something in those tiny rooms:)

Use text and encrypt with a one time pad.

The Everest climb is one of the country's primary ways to raise revenue. Give them their money, the country has few was to raise it otherwise.

I guess US banks will re-evaluate the use the more secure smart carts. They have been reluctant to use them because the cost of adoption was greater than their projected losses due to theft. So much for that theory. Another failure to predict the risk.

The problem is there are too many ideas coupled with people who are incapable of implementing them. If teaching where a profitable and rewarding job there would be little problems. Class sizes need to be smaller - teachers need time to access and help kids with problems. Public schools have been saddled with the job of compensating for F'd up parents. A task which is not really education.

Check me is I'm wrong Scotty but isn't "indie" short for "independent"? Can't they do what ever the hell they think is in their best interest. And why is it when studios bleed Anamation and CGI shops dry and put them into bankruptcy - that is somehow good for the industry? Fatcat and Bigwigs trying to protect their turf if you ask me.

Solve a massively complicated problem that has eluded some of the best minds for years and involves solutions on a global scale in a meer 12 hours. Some might think that a publicity stunt to promote an airline but I think we can solve all the worlds problems this way. The problem is selecting the correct 100 or so people to dispose of this way for each problem. CEO's are just a starting point. Dictators, Bankers would be high on my list. The massively wealthy certain are causing a great deal of our problems.
