Apparently, you aren't contributing to society. There's a difference between people being bald because they care about the environment and people being bald because they want us to THINK they're helping the environment. No, but seriously. This is a nice huge step. I'm excited to see what direction this heads in.

Submission + - Microsoft endorsing Windoes 7 lanch parties.

FlickieStrife writes: Microsoft is encouraging people to throw Tupperware style Windows 7 launch parties. Here's how it works: you invite members of your community over and demonstrate the features/perks of Windows 7. If Microsoft selects you to be one of the thousands to do this, you get a free copy of Windows 7 Ultimate and a chance to win a computer. Official site.

Let's hope it doesn't turn out like Windows 98

Don't you think Google is taking it a little far though? It's like me patenting the visual appearance of "Thursday, September 03"

There is nothing technical or inventive about it, it is just how people recognise their product.

Can you name 10 people who can't recognize Google?

It's just like that teenager-deterrent noise: http://www.noloitering.ca/tone.html which was ironically, but hilarously turned against adults: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5434687 But, It all has to do with frequency. For all we know, there are some animals that CAN'T hear that 'alarm' Dog whistles, people. Dog whistles.

Who said innovation is slowing down? We are still in the stone age of the Internet.[citation needed]

There, fixed that for ya.

I agree completely, the statistical theory (out of the gazillion planets/solar systems, how is Earth the only one with life) is kind of a weak one, but it works. On the other hand, maybe we only have a remote chance of recognizing this because while the 'as we know it' is implies, it is still stuck in the back of our (NASA's) minds as a liquid (see what i did there?) requirement. We are creatures of habit, and generally afraid of change, so we stick with what makes us comfortable.
