Given the choices for Apple, I suspect that they passed-on the information (under the table) needed to crack the phone so that they wouldn't be forced to do it openly, so they pretend to be hanging onto the moral high ground, though seeming not as clever at protection as they claimed.

"I personally am deeply sorry that we got caught.” Winterkorn should have said in the statement.

"Using these new commercially available superconductors, rare-earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) superconducting tapes, to produce high-magnetic field coils “just ripples through the whole design,” says Dennis Whyte, a professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering and director of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center. “It changes the whole thing.”

Anyone tried strapping this tape to the bottom of a skateboard yet?

If it hadn't been done to death. Like I said, one troll, no problem, but +5 for insightful? It's not just you that makes me bitch. Try living in MS for a while, and you'll find more genuine people than anywhere else you go. At least that's been my experience. Except Ole Miss. Ole Miss sucks.

The point is your and others desires to condescend. The internet is essentially ubiquitous in Mississippi, but you wouldn't know that as you've probably never been to the state. Whatever horrible reason there is that Mississippi has something right, it can't be good, can it?

"How to Serve Humans" will take on a whole new meaning.

According to that, then Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, the bunch of our founding fathers, are there with them.

I think it has more to do with their being bought and paid for by other interests. Nearly free energy (a fusion reactor in the utility room) is going to take a lot of money out of politicians' pockets.

Perfect for cell phones. Now we can see large screens instead of that puny hand held thing. If someone comes up with a reasonably good controller, you've turned cell phones into a decent game/whatever platform.

I'm glad the white house has shown us how trustworthy they are.

How the hell do they propose to keep satellites and whatever other space junk there is from hitting the space "cable"? I've never seen this addressed.

BMW's going to put laser headlights on some of their new cars. Never again would I loose a headlight duel.

Now we'll find out what they would've done (or will do) to Snowden if they can get their hands on him. Or, will they hold these three hostage to try to get Snowden to give himself up?

I thought it was nice that the aliens that were taking over earth were also using C, let alone ascii characters.
