So I can throw a ball from one browser window to another, so I can have the Google home page fall to the bottom of my screen in a heap....WHAT'S THE POINT?
Firefox and it's addons allow me to do anything that I want and more. Although I do like Google chrome I'm sticking with Firefox. They develop for the sake of improvement and not just for the sake of "look at me!!" like apparently Google does.

I wonder about detection rate. If someone is lying, how long would it take to detect the lie based on body odour, it's not like it would change in a second. This makes me wonder just how useful this would be?

not that I don't agree that there is a point to a flexible, paper-like, touch sensitive screen but they already have something that does what you describe. Look up smartboards, they're amazing and do all that you mention!

Submission + - Racism row over chimp cartoon (cnn.com)
slackoon writes: "From an article on CNN
" Reactions are as varied as they are strong to Tuesday's New York Post cartoon that depicted the police shooting of a chimpanzee. Two police officers, one with a smoking gun, are near the chimp's bullet-pierced body. "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill," one officer says.
The Post's Sean Delonas used a typical editorial cartoon trope of linking two current news stories: the shooting of a chimp after it mauled a Connecticut woman and President Obama's signing of the stimulus bill." So /. readers, do you think it's racist?"

From the summary:'We do not use AMSR-E data in our analysis because it is not consistent with our historical data.'
Is that the same thing as saying "We do not use AMSR-E data because it proves that we've been wrong all along!'
