So the thing that holds the part that is lit on fire for some sporting event very 4 years was carried around in space?
How is this anything other than some PR for the next Olympics and why is it on slashdot? There is nothing interesting about this. Now if they had designed some contraption to allow the flame to burn in space that would be something.
Terrorists obviously know the best way to terrorize Americans is to keep people like Cheney alive.
-1, wrong.
Yes Google does have the ability. If I get an app from the Play Store and it is removed by Google, they have the ability to remove it from my phone. Its happened a couple times with emulators. Now if I decide to circumvent the Play Store that is a different story.
However, that is what Android gives... choice. With the App Store you don't have that choice; you only use what Apple lets you use. If you want to be a moron and run any old app, you can't.
Hes no thinker or dreamer like that Steve Jobs was. Incrementing by the name of cats is a much more agile system.
Think what you want about Obama but there is no excuse to be racist.
You do realize that you are not supposed to eat the shell... right?
They only know where you shop, not what exactly you buy.
I'm curious how this will be all that much different than an ipod nano mounted on a permanent wrist band. Outside of playing music and maybe voice based services such as maps or Siri (assuming cell data)I don't see the point over an actual iPhone based on screen size. Something that fits a wrist is not going to be great at reading text efficiently.
Maybe they can ship a free iMonocle with it.
Netflix, hulu, amazon video, itunes, history channel
There are plenty of ways to get content legally for prices that are tiny compared to what the cable companies or direct tv offer. I only have an internet package and then pay for netflix and occasionally use the free hulu. My girlfriend has itunes and amazon video and we don't miss tv.
People have no problem paying for content; It is the extra $50 to $100 a month plus commercials that many don't see worth whatever extra value they provide over the above services.
Due to some life problems I had to move quickly on the cheap. I ended up in time warner territory and had no problem ordering 15Mb internet for $29.99 a month sans tv or phone. Of course, time warner has jacked up the price to $43.99 but that plus netflix at $7.99 is still better than the $100 for a tv/internet package.
A corrupt corporation can load food up with stuff to make it more profitable, dump its waste illegally, etc. There are plenty of things that corporations have done over the years to fuck things up for more than their customers. The BP oil spill would be a recent one...
I missed the part where they said Americans are more clueless about politics than other people are.
The first sentence.
The last time I ran WoW on Wine (around 2009) I had a higher FPS than Windows XP on the same machine.
75-80% of games are crap. Ever, not just today.
Any circuit design must contain at least one part which is obsolete, two parts which are unobtainable, and three parts which are still under development.
