Someone needs to release a product that is a DSLR, professional level camera...WITH A PHONE BUILT IN.
Now, instead of having your shitty pictures interrupted by phone calls, you could have your high quality pictures interrupted by phone calls.

Jetman Attempts Intercontinental Flight 140
Last year we ran the story of Yves Rossy and his DIY jetwings. Yves spent $190,000 and countless hours building a set of jet-powered wings which he used to cross the English Channel. Rossy's next goal is to cross the Strait of Gibraltar, from Tangier in Morocco and Tarifa on the southwestern tip of Spain. From the article: "Using a four-cylinder jet pack and carbon fibre wings spanning over 8ft, he will jump out of a plane at 6,500 ft and cruise at 130 mph until he reaches the Spanish coast, when he will parachute to earth." Update 18:57 GMT: mytrip writes: "Yves Rossy took off from Tangiers but five minutes into an expected 15-minute flight he was obliged to ditch into the wind-swept waters."

I think what he's referring to is the technology that would enable individuals to use the spectrum of frequencies in their tiny, personal area, however they want.
I truly don't think he's saying that they should shut down TV and radio and blah blah blah...
Submission + - Transparent aluminium is 'new state of matter' (physorg.com) 2
Professor_Quail writes: Oxford scientists have created a transparent form of aluminum by bombarding the metal with the world's most powerful soft X-ray laser. 'Transparent aluminum' previously only existed in science fiction, featuring in the movie Star Trek IV, but the real material is an exotic new state of matter with implications for planetary science and nuclear fusion.

Maybe they have lower IQs because they don't have the education or quality of life like most Europeans and Americans do?

Contrary to popular belief, CL is probably 99% scammers, bots, and hookers.
Try this little experiment:

There are scant few real women trying to find relationships there...unless you're looking for the paying kind, or the old (read, 50+) hopeless romantic.

That way, no persons involved can come back and sue the viewers who got free "entertainment".
