it will be like in the 1950 where the commercial will be in the show

Do you watch "The Amazing Race?" Ads for Ford, Travelocity etc. are right in the show.

/. should just come clean and rename "Overrated" to "I disagree"

But they already have 'troll' and 'flamebait' for 'I disagree.'

Good luck supporting it like HP, Dell or Cisco does.

This.

A number of years ago I was involved in supporting some hardware in a ski resort a few hours outside of Denver. One snowy night a piece of gear failed and the service contract said 'replace it in three hours.' Sure enough, 2.5 hours later headlights appeared on the snowy road as the tech showed up with the replacement part, which he installed.

I don't really get why, the built-in browser and Dolphin are exactly the same thing.

The built-in browser on my Epic 4G doesn't support the useful extensions that Dolphin does. Text selection for copy/paste also works better under Dolphin.

Wrong....There are a number of generic traits which show an extremely high correlation with psychopathy. That doesn't mean they ARE a psychopath, however

You say I'm wrong, then go on to agree with me. You seem to be confused. I suggest you re-read my post and contemplate the difference between "one-to-one correspondence" and "extremely high correlation".

It would also be nice if you provided a link to appropriate research. My quick googling finds just one study of one genetic trait that corresponds to psychopathic tendencies only in those who grow up poor . If you've got other research, please link to it. Thanks.

I think socialism is about the only likely outcome of all of this

What in the world does an economic system based where workers and the people, rather than a state-backed owning class, control the means of production, have to do with anything under discussion here? Or do you just have no idea what "socialism" means?

So perhaps some genetic traits can be secret but others should be divulged under certain circumstances. No psychopaths in political office, as police or teachers.

Thank you for perfectly illustrating the danger here.

There is no genetic trait that corresponds one-to-one with psychopathy. There may (or may not) be certain genetic traits associated with a increased risk of psychopathy. As this distinction is pretty much lost on the general public, it is important that we do on brand people who have a greater change of developing psychopathy as actually being psychopaths. This is why genetic privacy is crucially important.

If there's a problem, change the law...

And changing the law is exactly what's under consideration here. May I direct your attention to the fine headline. Thank you.

I wouldn't want you driving me if you kept on fishing a phone out of your pocket to tell you the time.

I wouldn't want you driving me if you kept looking at your wrist, rather than the road, to tell you the time.

This is a very stupid argument.

A few observations:

1) We don't need constant updates on the time.

2) Clocks are everywhere, including cars. That wasn't always the case, some of us are old enough to remember when a clock in a car was a luxury item. But now they're built in to pretty much everything electronic, so watches are less necessary than they were a few decades ago.

3) Some people have an social/emotional attachment to wristwatches, apparently using them as some sort of status broadcast. I don't understand that bit of primate behavior, but the use of wristwatch as ornamentation by some subcultures should be noted and may account for some of the bizarre vehemence in discussions of this topic.

4) A clip watch is the best solution, anyone not using one is wrong -- I have spoken. :-)

How does a phone in your pocket tell you the time?

There's a reason wristwatches supplanted pocket ones.

On the other hand, a watch in your pocket or clipped to a belt loop doesn't irritate your wrist. Once I started typing on computers regularly, in my teens, I started to find wristwatches really annoying. (Yes, I'm old enough that computers were not found in people's homes when I was a kid. Get off my lawn.)

I use a clip watch on a belt loop. It's about as convenient to access a clip watch as a wristwatch. Also a handy place to keep a mini LED flashlight, or anything else small. When I want to bring the fancy,I have a nice pocket watch, which does take an additional moment to access, but won't get banged into things.
