I said "Intersects" not "interacts". Are we here in this forum to be pedantic logic-choppers, or or we here to share knowledge and ideas? You appear to be someone who only believes in what they can measure. Do you, by chance, have an engineering degree? Before you can measure, you have to theorize. Quantum Theory indicates that we might be part of a multiverse. If this theory is true, "our reality intersects with many others". Interaction would be interesting but that's for the future . . .

Read the David Deutch books: "The Fabric of Reality" and/or "The Beginning of Infinity". Good "layman" descriptions of quantum theory and the possibility that we are indeed living in a multiverse where "our reality" intersects with many others . . .

Agreed - even though this is an experimental, utility, launch. Commercial spaceflight has to set safety standards the public can believe in. NASA management should have listened to their engineers and been MUCH more careful regarding their Shuttle Astronauts welfare (two catastrophic failures and 14 lives lost in some 100+ launches). If it looks wrong - shut it down and ignore the potential politics. Hopefully, Space-X will make it the next time, or the next time after that . . .

Wow. Apparently Android will take over the smartphone world soon and Apple is dead in this market by the end of 2012. I presume you are a troll, but on the off-chance you are just deranged or having fun mind-f**king Slashdot - you say:

These are lovely ("mine's bigger than yours", tech specs) but the issue you don't address is - what is the device like to use? If you'd really used both an Android phone and an iPhone, the differences - "ahem" - in Apple's favor would be obvious.

Anyone ever hear about Ted Nelson? He invented hypermedia in the mid-'60s - it just took another 20+ years for the wires and connections to physically realize it as the internet.
