with all the teenage girls already fantasizing about sparkling vampires, do we really need to feed their imaginations with this?
or is this a new era of teenage pickup lines: "I heard you like people who sparkle as a result of the sun hitting on their skins... baby, I emit my own light"
I had a Nokia (candy bar style from early 2000's aka the immortals) that fell from a 4th floor. Sure the battery, body, and covers went in different directions, but put together again and it worked.
Seriously, if they wanted to make a real tough phone, they should've sided with Nokia.
well, 1 second of footage = 6,000,000 frames / 30 fps = 200000 seconds
that would mean a 55 hour movie of a lightning strike
it would also mean a sports replay that would last well into next year
so many people don't understand the EU MS antritrust case. It's not because it comes with the OS, it's because it's bolted onto it and cannot be removed without crippling the system, because it is the only way of downloading updates on demand.
You don't see the EU bitchin at Apple for including Safari on every mac.
I think the big deal here is not wether IE is a good or bad browser or if it comes with windows, but the fact that you can't have a functional (bare with me) version of windows without it. And by functional I mean that it is up to date, something you can only do with Windows Updater thru IE.
Not only that but you can't uninstall IE without hindering windows (any more than it already is).
I haven't tried uninstalling Safari from my mac, but i'd bet i'd still be able to use my mac without problems.
Cause where it the fact that it "comes" with the OS, well then, OS X should ditch Safari or include something else, no?
This guy made an excellent post of what the EU Antitrust case is all about

This will be a joint announcement with a purse sponsor, "a very exciting and well-known Fortune 500 company". No specifics have been announced, but the prize is supposed to be "in the tens of millions of dollars".
What kind of a space race are they trying to kindle now?"
Iddo Genuth writes: "Stem cells are at the forefront of medical research and incite some of the most controversial ethical and religious debates worldwide. While regarded by many top scientists as the Holy Grail of medicine, others consider embryonic stem-cell research sacrilegious. Recent advances in the field of stem-cell research are giving hope to millions. Are stem cells to become the future silver bullet of medical practice? Avant-garde approaches to stem-cell therapy may be the first stepping-stones to a bright new future of stem-cell medicine and are emerging in leading laboratories worldwide. A number of large biotech companies and scientists are looking toward stem cells as the basis for a therapeutic solution to cure such illnesses as blindness, diabetes and spinal cord injuries. In an innovative research one such company was able to cure blind rats using stem cells hoping that in the not to distant future embryonic stem cells will be able to restore sight to millions of people."

sheean.nl writes "A Belgian prosecutor recommended after a 10-year investigation that the government prosecute the church of Scientology. The church is accused of being a criminal organization involved in extortion, fraud, unfair trading, violation of privacy laws, and unlawfully practicing medicine. Both the Belgian and the European branches of the church should be brought to court, according to the authorities. The investigation was started in 1997 after former Scientologists complained about intimidation and extortion by the church. Other European countries such as Germany have problems with Scientology, but in the US it is officially recognized as a religion. Scientology has 10 million members including high-profile followers such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta." Scientology has long used heavy-handed legal and other tactics to suppress opposition on the Net.
