Obama's recent summit with the Chinese president was probably so successful because they both agreed to spy on each other's countries and exchange intelligence so they could each avoid the flak from their own constituents!

What the bejeezus are you talking about?

We don't need more organs with names that imply nothing about their function. Stop boosting the egos of these scientists, their goal should not be self-immortalization but advancement for the good of the scientific community.

I thought we were transitioning away from those obscure, hard-to-remember names; such as the Eustachian tube in the ear getting renamed to simply auditory tube.

So put it on the side of the phone within easy reach; much better making a phone that tries to know when you want to turn it on.

Then it's more like Moore's Theory then, isn't it? There's certainly nothing concrete about Moore's Law.

Violations? More like statistical deviations.

Should all of mankind's endeavors grind to a halt until the world is in a state of perfect harmony and prosperity?

Humans, in our great numbers, are capable of multi-tasking. Is every penny not spent on helping the helpless a selfish waste?

An infinite amount of money cannot solve all of the world's problems in a day, and there are more problems everyday. More often it is not a question of money but of resources, money is only a means to trade for such finite resources. With finite resources like time, energy, innovation, and persuasion, every do-gooder has to pick their battles.

This start menu blends well with Windows 8's theme, replicates all Windows 7 start menu features, and has options to boot to desktop and disable hot corners. Only caveat is that it does cost $5, but is probably the best polished Windows 8 start menu out there.

In that case, at least there is the assurance that Google has always given you plenty of heads-up and a good amount of time to migrate your data.

Um... try using it and see for yourself?

And Google Tasks? Which is a pretty recent product. I don't understand why they didn't just expand Tasks a little bit. Keep is kinda an awkward name.

Story of the day: nobody gives a damn about uptime bragging.

Capitalism is supposed to be beneficial for mankind in that advancing technology is supposed to be profitable, which is the reason for the recent incentives to privatize the space industry. Of course the link between innovation and profits isn't direct, so oftentimes innovation will steer off course towards designing a more visible animated billboard for the underside of that flying car rather than increasing redundancy in its lift components.

The suit's controller package needs to calculate over several measurements if objects are getting closer to you before issuing a warning. Then the article's example of walking between library bookshelves being problematic wouldn't be anymore. Bonus points if it also accounts for the relative direction and size of projectiles to determine if there truly will be a collision or not.

Too bad I don't have any points to mod you up right now, it's time someone talked sense around here. All these FOSSheads ultracompact devices to be fully modular, and they'll never stop complaining until they have everything... except with computers, which can always be faster.
