Comment Re:The smartphone is a general purpose computer (Score 1) 84

And, if you hook the same chemical reactions and transducer technology to a smartphone you can reproduce the same information generated from those chemical reactions and transducers hooked to ... wait for it... a computer.

Smart phones are much more common than desktop computers in poorer countries. So yes, making a smaller, cheaper, reliable device for a smart phone is a big deal.

It isn't like you can use the same smartphone dongle over and over again for very little cost.

It isn't? Sure seems that's what they're doing, but I'd love to hear your logic as to why that's not what's happening.

beauty and ugliness, rich and poor, black and white, these are all concepts that in technology hold no relevance or meaning because theyre metrics by which we categorize and qualify people in often arbitrary and flawed ways.

And yet men the world over prefer women with waist/hip ratios between .68 and .71. What we consider physically attractive is directly tied to health and fitness to bear/raise children, not some arbitrary value.
