I have no idea what they sound like now, but I got tired of them in the late eighties, everything just started sounding so whiny.. almost emo. "Still can't find what I'm looking for", yadda..
That said, I think highly of Bono, he seems a good dude, and doesn't let biases determine who he'll talk to or work with, and has done a tremendous amount of good.

Is that an anti-american dig? Just because we don't use metric for everything doesn't mean we're clueless about it. Most people I know would know that 1000k=1M, and millions of us work or study in IT or other scientific fields where kilo, mega, giga, micro, pico, tera, etc..prefixes are common knowledge, despite our continued use of the Imperial system. Anyone who's graduated from a decent high school should know that.

And you'd have endermen and creepers instead of the BSOD.

Well, that's exactly the whole question; how reliable and solid can such a thing be with current tech, especially without raising the price out of reach? It's just another thing under control of a cheap consumer grade microprocessor. If it actually works flawlessly and as intended, great.. if not, the false sense of security could cause even more accidents or fail to allow someone to defend themselves.

That reminds me of the saccharin studies in the '70s. Anyway, I could've been more clear before, the study I consider most flawed was the acne one.

I'll take this with a grain of salt. Many years ago, "they" said the same thing about chocolate and greasy foods regarding acne breakouts. It was pretty evident to me and every single person I've ever known, including my own dermatologist (back in the day) that this was totally off-base wishful thinking, and the old "myth" was absolutely correct, whatever the biological mechanisms involved. The study was seriously flawed.

Except when announcers refer to Surfaces as "iPads". Then Apple is getting a hell of a deal. :-)

Well honestly, IT is one nerd niche, amateur astronomy is another. I can believe it.

Republican/Democrat has nothing to do with it. God I hate election years, and the year leading up to them.

OMG.. dammit, I can't mod you funny because I've already posted here.

Can you provide a citation for that? I've known a few guys that got busted for minor possession, not a one resulted in even an overnight jail stay.

Totally agree here. Jail should be for violent offenders who are a physical danger to society. That said, what do we do with the Bernie Maddoffs of the world?

But... I suppose something like Life360 would kinda cool, or someway to track your kids if you're at a large park and want to keep tabs on where they are in case they get lost .. or worse.

There's a huge honking difference between someone taking a casual photo or video in public (and remember, you are out in public, not private), and following you around all day. The latter could be legally be construed as harassment, or possibly even assault, among other things.

Intent is the key thing, here. If they're all over your shit, then yes they're overstepping their bounds and harassing you. OTOH if they're simply wearing google glass at the same cafe you're sitting in, you've no right to shut them down, you're judging them guilty until proven innocent, which infringes on their rights. It's a free country, what right have to you to deny someone else to take a video of their environment when when all concerned are out in a public place? In a sense, their eyes and brain are already doing the same thing, it's why we have eye-witnesses testify in crimes. I've never yet heard a criminal defense say, "that witness had no right to observe and remember my client's actions in public, he didn't give them permission".
And how can you defend the citizen's recording of police if you're going to shut down citizens who record in public?

Well, that 78% is still multiple types of beverages/flavors, and there's still 22% of the company that isn't just beverages.
But in any case, doesn't matter, if a one trick pony is very good at that trick, it's valuable.
