Now when it comes to energy storage to deal with renewables the problem is the shear amount of energy storage needed as well as energy lost to inefficiency. The technology exists, but the cost would be prohibitive.

RTFA and all that. The interesting thing about this is the electrolyte is supposedly cheap as hell. Thus the idea is making some long lasting batteries the size of a house on the cheap.

Kidding you? Who cares who's fault it is? We need a solution no matter who takes the blame. Pointing at the dangerous poor people is just the best way to make the conservative rich understand the problem.

Carbon emissions are a real problem. We don't need a bunch of zealots claiming the sky is falling unless we do things their way.

With the third world getting ready to ramp up energy production the idea of conservation is a pipe dream. China is already ignoring us and the rest will do the same.

We need to globally spend trillions of dollars on energy research and we need to do it yesterday. It's the only answer left.

Pumping increasing tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is going to do something heinously bad. There's no point trying to convince people the planet is going to overheat.

Just look at China's carbon emissions on the chart and then imagine that happening with every third world country.

Start discussing the situation as "those dirty poor people ruining it for the rest of us" and all the nay sayers will suddenly understand the problem.

I love how everyone acts like this really has something to do with Apple. The reality is it would of happened no matter what. Nobody wants to carry an extra device.

The moment selling graphically powerful phones became normal was the moment handhelds were doomed. Apple brought this about earlier perhaps but Moore's law said it was going to happen no matter what.

I don't understand the love. Google is cracking down on pseudonyms so it's pretty clear they are not going to respect our privacy either. You can't do obvious things like hide circles from each other either. The only nice privacy feature is the ability to hide some circles from public view.

I must admit we don't seem to be getting what we want out of Android. If Google isn't going to use their market share to force a better phone market then it's pointless to care about them losing to MSFT.

This isn't a social site. It sounds more like a "here's my web card" or something sort of site. Why would you even use it if you wanted that info private?

I hate apple and despise them for their lockdowns. Whining about this is just bullshit though. Basically all Apple has done is shown it's not stupid to keep cash on hand.

Other companies are free to continue their blatantly retarded path of buying up shitty companies for far more than they are worth. That's apparently the "proper" use of extra cash.

What kind of freaking news is this? You could always play it for free. It's a FPS not an MMO.
