I wouldn't worry about finding specific apps that are "safe" for a 6-month old. At that age, no parent should even consider letting their child use an Internet-connected device unsupervised. So, if yo show the child something on the web browser, or another app, you should know specifically what you're looking at and should be 100% comfortable with the material.

I didn't know Bing was a map application. I thought Bing was that guy that was tap dancing with Danny F**king Kaye on the hap-hap-happiest Christmas ever with those jolly bunch of a**holes at the Griswold's? :-)

I disagree that China will be the world's largest economy. First of all, let's not neglect India. Secondly, what we're seeing today is an equilibrium effect taking place, as China and India make gains to catch up and Europe and North America give a little. It will all eventually settle, and we'll have three dominant world economies: Asia, Europe, and the Americas (North and South).

This is the major reason I got an iPad. It works really well to put papers in Dropbox on the pc and view them on the iPad. Tough I may check out iAnnotate for the annotation capability.

For $1900 you could get a decent MacBook Pro, no crapware installed! Don't waste that kind of money on Windows (any version),...

I thought there was something funny about my Appel iPADD,. . .

This is significant, because if you look at the list, Titan only has about 500,000 cores, versus 1.5 million cores on Sequoia. The overall increase in peta-FLOPS isn't that much, but the fact that Titan did this with only about 1/3 the cores as Sequoia IS significant.

This doesn't even meet the broad definition of news , much less news for nerds . Slashdot, you're disappointing me. All this means is that a bunch of random retards in predominantly southern states have figured out how to create an online petition on the White House website and are crapflooding them. Even the GNAA is disappointed at this. Wake me if these nutjobs manage to convince a Governor or State Legislature to draft articles of secession.

And today, you can take a photo of actual boobs using your iPhone, and get arrested!

The good news is that you already have more qualifications than the former Governor.

You shouldn't cite Wikipedia for the exact same reason that you shouldn't cite Encyclopedia Britannica. Both are tertiary references, and it's preferred to cite the primary or secondary source. If you haven't figured this out by the time you reach college, you need to go back to high school.

There's also a huge difference between "citing Wikipedia" in term papers and "using Wikipedia" in your research. I fully support Professors that ban citing Wikipedia. But I completely support students that want to use Wikipedia as a good starting point to their research on a given topic.

We better get moving! It's already 2012 and the game ends in 2050!

With shows like Toddlers & Tiaras and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, I think kids should be as far away from TV as possible, whether they are in front of or behind the camera. Add to that the recurring theme that most "child stars" seem to end up later in life with major drug and/or alcohol problems,. . .

It's also the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, you insensitive clod! Both of you should hand in your geek cards immediately!
