Just out of curiosity, where do you see this? For full disclose, I enjoy the works of plenty of artists, actors, and musicians whose personal views I find abhorrent. I enjoy Card's books (Enchantment is one of my favorite novels), and I'll leave it at that.

It's been quite some time since I've read many of Card's books, but if I recall the extended Ender universe has non-evil and non-stereotypical gay characters. The Earthfall books had at least one gay character who was good. One of the characters in that series (a scientist) even explained that homosexuality had to do with conditions in the womb and wasn't a choice (it's been a long time since I've read this, so I could be slightly off).

I've never read it, but Card's book Songmaster apparently deals with homosexuality to a large extent. I remember a friend of mine called it the "gayest" book he had ever read (she meant that in a positive way).

Where do you see Card's negativity towards homosexuality?

Tolerance goes both ways. It is far too easy to claim the high road and seek to prevent those with different viewpoints from being heard. It is another thing entirely to stand and defend a persons right to freedom of speech when you don't like their message. If you can't acknowledge his right to speak his mind, then you are no better than he is.

American company? I'm not so sure about that. Every apple product I have has "Made in China" on it.

Very true. My old communications device was the most secure and I've yet to find something that rivals it. It was impossible to spoof, clone, or manipulate and all my data was secure. Sure it was hard to make long-distance calls, because finding large spools of string is difficult, but the fidelity of those tin cans was soooo pure. Plus, they never got any malware, not even once.

I'm not the only one who thought that? whew. I wonder if its a flaw in the picture?

Anything that you need you hands free to do.

Running fibre through an aircraft? you can look at the design and pathway and still run fiber.

A doctor could have your vital view able without looking up from the surgery. A Juggler could get an audience count while still tossing 9 torches around.

You can get info on someone without taking your eyes off them. I can look at a recipe while having both hands covered in oil. If it was just like a smart phone, but you don't need to actually take out your smartphone to do anything, wouldn't that have value?

So you're saying that displaying speed in a HUD on the windscreen would distract kids? The same kids that have been playing computer games with HUDs for the last 14 years?

Uh, if you follow the money, Peter Ho is a paid spokesperson for Samsung...
