The movie is about " What if it were the case that we really don't know what is true?".

At the end of the movie, it boils down to the power of human's capacity to imagine, believe and transcend man's madeup limitations. The subtext of the movie uses the twin human weaknesses of Abandonment and Engulfment to demonstrate what we know to be true is what we " feel is true".

Identity is otherside of Engulfment. The movie narrative struggles substituting enmeshment / engulfment as though they were equivalents. The setup juxtaposes two instances to demonstrate that man's Identity ( what he feels) is more important than saving humanity.

In the earthbound instance the professor's enmeshment with humanity requires that he will take to his grave the secret that it is doomed, except there's a twist - with his last dying breath he reveals he knew the grand hoax of his scientific evidence to the contrary upon which the hopes of the planet were placed in the recolonization mission. His Identity ( id) released by his imminent death, he inflicts pain and suffering to relieve dying with a guilty conscience. His last breaths are an act in saving his Identity as the Professor.

In the interstellar instance the marooned astronaut survived an illusion of engulfment in wrapping his life into the pursuit of a mission he is told cannot succeed. A virtual outlier and existential outsider faced with perpetrating the Professor's grand hoax or pertetuating his own life, his (id) rises to the occasion voting to save man, himself, his Identity over humanity.

In neither instance does the truth save you nor does what they feel.

Except the other side of Abandonment is Love or Hollywood Happy Endings...to wit: Interstellar where Love (what we feel) conquers all.

Any problems connecting dots, seeing the landscape and strategy now?

No wonder the French are literate, savvy and experienced social creatures online....just a reflection how dumb-down is U.S.-style Internet.

The French led home terminal connectivity 10 years before the Internet launched nationwide in United States homes. Minitel terminals were text based phone company-issued devices which the French affectionately hung onto well after the internet age arrived. It took an act of government to dismantle the service.

Follow GOOG, if they can't embrace, extend and deploy broadband beyond testbed, realworld deployment in very select environments? Who thinks they are smarter, richer and better positioned to profit on fibre to the belly.

I like the Nexus7 tablet. AttaBoy it is a standard. Its responsive, unobtrusive and " just works" better than any iPad for getting shit done. Go GOOG! The Nexus7 form factor feels right

Really? Lego meets Nokia, that's a concept looking for a problem to solve.

Maybe GOOG can embrace and extend beyond backcover hubcap thinking

Apple doesn't push the arrow until the wood breaks. They take the pointy end, aim and ship (RealDevelopers). SteveJobs didn't want the iPhone to merely fix our gaze but service our needs. Siri could break the paradigm and shift its focus off the screen back onto our needs. Steve saw that, that opened up an entire handheld services market and Apple would own the abstract layer between services and customer through Siri.

Apple didn't drop the ball on Siri. Siri hit a threshold, limit or criticality beyond which Five9's reliability eroded. They had to build infrastructure, to host Siri demand. The marketplace would help test and build a Siri strong enough to bridge the paradigm. Its not there yet.

Developers ship and Viv stands at the pinnacle of dreams while Siri is shipping daily.

The real position in play is abstraction over the GRID and selling it back as a viable business model. EV's are transitional technologies on the way to the future. Tesla cars are proof-of-concepts that a future can work without petroleum dependancy. They spotlight those millions of tailpipe emissions which only electric and hydrogen eliminate.

Power markets refuse to invest in the capture of smokestack emissions at source so the exercise Tesla is running remains retail only. When hydrogen competes with electric fuel cells that day will mark petroleum's last tailpipe gasp. Then emissions at the smokestack are all that's left to capture then.

Tesla will be there and in position to sell you power for your business, home or car in whatever form required from an eco-conscious GRID that puts the cost of capture into the end product and puts producer's responsibility back onto the consumer end user.

Lawyers earn and no better way is there than to churn. In the interest of protecting a client, its a quick action to take because they can. Just because they could doesn't mean they should. SO this could be a legal action outside the sphere of Blackberry just doing what they do - churn to earn.

OR Blackberry in its desperation could be attacking all comers to its last remaining properties. It's interesting that there exists professionals for whom Blackberry remains an essential AND want to integrate other devices adding keyboard functionality. But this device looked like it was too much of a ' kludge' for my personal tastes. I chose not to pursue the $100 case for iPhone with keyboard.

AND I think that threshold barrier to purchase is reason enough that Blackberry have no case of patent infringement since keyboards have been around for awhile now. Adding a bluetooth keyboard case for iPhone doesn't equate to a Blackberry phone.

Europeans remark how comfortable and pleasant an experience driving in the U.S. at night. H.I.D. bright headlight illumination dominates there and people have no US-style incandescent headlamps which they prefer because it makes night vision so much more effective when driving against oncoming traffic.

Refuse to honor your debt to society who bailed your assets out of imminent bankruptcy.

Capitalism failed. Repeat. No lessons were learned. The U.S. economy post-captialism is run by failures.

In a post-capitalist economy, this is the 1% new power version of racial profiling. Think of it as a form of denial of services. You'll never see what the 1% does much less enjoy. Knowledge is power and denying information denies access to all but the 1% who matter.

That's right. EV, electric vehicles, are an industry solution to meeting NHTSA and EPA regulations that cars meet standards for GHG. Manufacturer's cars don't pass the standard, states close the door on their market. Its a bright, shiny doorstop. GM's EV-1 is the EV gold standard which the world deserves but obsoletes an entire petroleum industry in the process. So they had to crush every single example for posterity sake.

Hydrogen the technology wasn't ready, economically or infrastructure-wise for the 21st century. The zero emissions platform for the future is evolving slowly, infrastructure first. In the meantime, EV and HEV, keep the doors open for the manufacturers.

On first principles this is bullshit. The public have been struggling to get antibiotics put back in the medicine bottle where it belongs. No one wants this stuff loosed. We struggle to get it our food paying premium prices for organic, antibiotic-free meats. We struggle to find it in the grocery isle to keep antibiotics out of products like our dish soap. This political bullshit right here on Slashdot in our face as the ' public' made us do it. Its the ' public' responsibility. Fuck off I say to BigPharma exactly the way BigTobacco. A moron understands the negative ramifications of antibiotic use. Stand up, push back and blow back JonQPublic.
