How is this modded +3 when it shows the long-winded poster didn't even RTF?

Most people don't buy things to become social pariahs (which describes your Google Glass owner above).

It's so funny when people say things everyone knows is wrong...

Their first move will be to laugh and point at Facebook. This was a move to keep Facebook out of the game.

It was actually a move to fend off Facebook.

I was whooshed...

It definitely does not represent standardization to a score of 100. It's not an even distribution of peaks. It is pushed up above the failing mark, and there is no gap from 94-100. Furthermore, all the different tests in different subjects show the same gaps. This is not reasonable at all.

It's being done by the tester, not the students, possibly to keep some people (in specific regions) out of the school they want.

I thought so too, but the problem is when you overlay the various tests for different subjects, they all show the same missing points. Standardizing different tests (in different subjects) would not produce identical gaps when overlaid unless all 150,000 students performed exactly the same for each subject – which is just not believable.

The test results were manipulated. There are missing scores (from 1-100) on a test taken by 150,000 students. That is not possible. They have been bumped up to passing. The graphs show jagged peaks separated by gaps rather than a curve. Unless his data is incomplete or has been manipulate, there is no reasonable explanation for the jagged charts.

It became available on YouTube in 2006. People are paying attention to it now because of the Euro Hawk's issues. Nothing terribly coincidental.

Apologies for replying to myself... This may be a sign the newspaper is going to a digital-only format in the not-too-distant future.

They replaced their pool of photographers with freelancers (sports, feature stories, breaking news, etc...). In addition, reporters will now carry iPhones in part to capture low resolution video for their website. It's not really the DSLR v iPhone the headline claims.

"Maybe the sensor will survive being powered for far longer than it was designed to, or maybe it will overheat and be irreparably damaged."

One of the few intelligent points in this entire conversation.

I think you mean Apple waited for LTE components to become less power-hungry and for the carriers to deploy LTE. Also, your remark is non sequitur, since the point is that Apple was the first to sidestep AT&T with an LTE phone. PERIOD.
