I think there's a bug, this comment reads "Score: 5, Funny" when it should read "Score 5, Sad but true".

You do realize that med school leaves you with student loans of around 300k and the real money doesn't start to flow before you're 35-40 – by which time you probably have kids and should start to save up for their education? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/... And the very high suicide rate is probably not because of the 80-100 hours a week and litigation threats but because they can't afford to have both their Porsches waxed twice a week.

Too bad Liechtenstein just had a rather dramatic murder this week where a fonds manager shot a banker: http://www.nzz.ch/aktuell/news... (German), ruining the whole statistic.

When Universities invent something, like blue LEDs, and put it out there "for free", it doesn't serve the public good. What it will serve is the large companies who need the technology and now get it for free, paid for by taxpayer money. The University gets nothing from the invention, the students don't get to profit from lower tuition fees (no, tuition fees are by far not enough to cover a University's expenses) and the public good gets nothing else than to pay taxes and the possibility to build a company assembling blue LEDs without having to worry about patents. Well, I guess that's something.

Ah shut up, hater, and let me watch American Hustle on my revolutionary iTV.

What's wrong with not using it if you don't like it?

I don't see the word "sobering" used that way. For me this just means that after one might get excited after hearing Kurzweil, hearing from Winfield is a sobering experience. There is no implication that either of the two is less crazy or more right.

Frankly, everybody wants the US to become non interventionist again.

No you don't. Just set deployment target to iOS 5 and make sure you heed the warnings. Test on your iOS 5 device (yes, no Simulator for that, which sucks) and you're done.

This is not breaking support for iOS 5. I have an app in the store that is built against the iOS 7 SDK and it is compatible for iOS 5 and higher. You can even go lower, it's called the deployment target, but since there's no old iOS version available on the current Simulator it's much harder to test.

There's a very important difference between "watching" and "recording".

There's a company that has been selling blimps for cellular network coverage that float at 21 km height since 2006: http://www.stratxx.com/products/x-station/

That already exists, the Zeal Z3. One third the price of google glass, speedometer, temperature, altimeter and more inside the goggles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9u1mUlK8qg

I have never seen somebody wearing these while snowboarding, nor would I want one, but there you go.

For the human eye it does not make sense to go above the ~320 DPI. It might make sense for Samsung to go to 440 DPI though because their Pentile displays only have two colors per pixel, with different combinations one besides each other (See e.g. here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PenTile_matrix_family). But is a 440 DPI Pentile display better than a 320 DPI IPS LCD? Real tests like the ones over at displaymate.com might give an answer. Whether these in turn make any difference during daily use, who knows?

And for developers the 400+ DPI create a new issue: how should you optimize images for your apps/websites? Do you go 3x the size the image has at standard resolution? Meaning you now have to create each image three times, despite nobody seeing a difference over the double-sized 320 DPI images? Vector images help, but are not the solution since lines will be blurred. Oh how we love numbers.

Medical informatics researcher here. As a medical engineer you might want to do some research before labeling a screen "crappy". Just looking at the dpi doesn't do the job. http://www.displaymate.com/Smartphone_ShootOut_2.htm
