Yup. Being active might make you healthier, but I wish everyone would stop equating exercise with weight loss. I wouldn't focus entirely on corn, (though it's a big stupid problem here in the US,) regardless of content people simply eat too much for the kind of lifestyle we live. (lumberjacks have an excuse. I don't.)

Tapping on a desk with with a fingernail seems tactile enough to me. I just wonder if it can detect motion finely enough to let me "click" without having to "stage-mouse".

Not quite. Many of the "pixels" are a solid shade, but quite a few of them are various (still monochrome) gradients at variety of angles. By rotating the gradients and putting them next to certain shades or other gradient tiles, all sorts of interesting (if blurry) features can be (re)created.

This is basically my fear. I have no issue with someone pulling out a phone to text while stopped at an intersection. The only way to be safe from these harsh penalties is to leave a window of at least 30 minutes before/after texting. I doubt a court is going to ask for a narrow time slice when checking phone records to prove your guilt.

And what about delayed-send messages? What if your reception at [place] is horrible, and you sent a text before getting in the car?

I'll try to give a real answer:

The goal was to replace email. The result is a cross between email, threaded discussion, wiki, and instant messaging. (no, really. Live concurrent collaborative editing, along with a rewind feature so you can review the chronology in a more logical fashion) One can make gadgets that show up in a wave and allow you to interact in ways besides just typing, and there are also bots that interact with waves much like a normal user. Instead of adding some spell check the way you might normally think of it, they have a spell check bot that uses the wave collaborative editing features to highlight and potentially change your spelling. (which means someone else in the conversation could finish up doing the editing the spell check highlighted in a sentence earlier in your paragraph)

It works somewhat like email, as in once things settle down whoever can run their own wave server. And it could be integrated with, say, a blog where the comment section of a post would be a wave. (and have all that functionality, and stuff)

Also, they had already pretty much filled up the 512MB of ram, and were having issues working on some way to squeeze in more content in the form of all the new weapons. I'd link the blog post, but I'm still in my pajamas.

It's the 2d platformer of roguelikes. Here's a video of gameplay. Just google the rest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJPIFKSkuT8

...a tap against a thigh hits farther than an enthusiastic swing, motion will continue to be overrated.

A black matte CD label sounds like something that would leave ink/toner/whatever on your rollers, not necessarily clean them.
