Which is exactly what I thought it would be. Hate BS articles like this. This just in, people die from getting killed!! type stories, argh.

I think it is more likely to be one in each specialist store. We could see this bring jobs back to western economies and kill off the need for cheap foreign labor on things. The local specialist 3D printer operator will be able to make certain goods. Another will specialise with a 3D printer that makes other goods. Eventually you have what the west had 30-40 years ago where you have small local stores making things locally. Might allow the small store to come back or big supermarkets to just ship stuff from down the road rather than from China.

Well to be fair those robots aren't the exact same as they were in the 80's, one or two feature upgrades I imagine. Also they have a limited audience.

Mass production will bring proper economies of scale to this and if it uses rare technologies, there is incentive to find alternative ways of doing it if you know you can tap into a mass market.

Which proves the point. Why not buy something that looks and feels like an iPad but isn't one and the answer is of course, brand loyalty/brand choice/lack of willingness to shop around/take your pick. Reality is the difference is negligible between the two software platforms and there isn't that much to the hardware to go wrong so why pay the premium? If the Apple logo means that much to someone then by all means but everyone else, go nuts on cheaper tablets.

Both users were unavailable for comment :P I kid, I kid ;)

I'm using Opera with ad sweep and have the same results as using Adblock. think they might even share the same filter lists. It supports ghostly now too. Opera also allows you to select whether extensions can operate on private tabs which I thought was interesting. It probably isn't up to Firefox's standards but getting closer every day.

Organic Search must be a marketing term for they looked for it themselves and were not lead by a misleading breadcrumb trail of links :P

and watches the IE users desperately attack the survey. Then points out that IQ tests are usually extremely flawed anyway so if you take a flawed test and a flawed survey, you obviously get an accurate result :P

Brothers friends used to do this in the past few years. Ireland does have relatively poor broadband and crap caps already so this never went away.

Students organise to each download different things then meet up to watch a movie with some beers and share their wares around for free.

I thought the funniest part was they used PS3's to distribute the content since it was in the main room and was going to be used to watch the movie anyway.

Use Google+

change or not, can we all agree to clean up our environment so that it is more pleasant to look at and we can breathe clean air again. Coming from a rural area, it takes a while to adjust to smells of pollution in towns/industrial areas and there is sometimes a fog around. More popular in foreign countries than Ireland since we have few of those resources and a heavy manufacturing skipped us as a result. Very noticeable when abroad though don't worry, Dublin still smells like **** so getting rid of industrial pollution won't make towns/cities smell like flowers unless we buy a record amount of scented candles but then we'll be back to square one on the climate change thing :P

smarter. I think the evidence would support that gene diversity is the best way to ensure survival. *cough* says the man from Ireland *cough*

But that is completely relevant for the purposes of the test as many people also have those kinds of systems and what performs best on crap speaker systems is still useful information.

Sony have massive stock of 3DTV's to sell and don't want the fad to die out before they've flogged them.

and your battery life will half.
