I think when you look at the chart and add the numbers together you get a different story. Sure IE has 54%, but if you add other MS properties like Pocket Internet Explorer and the Danger Web Browser you get a total of, oh, never mind.

Agreed 100%. "Something as trivial as a phone" is said earlier in the thread. But it is not a phone. It is a computer!
This is a trivial phone.
This is also a phone.
This is a computer that can make phone calls. Also can send e-mails, play games, provide navigation and mapping, record video, play video, play music etc etc etc

Agreed on connectors, but for me personally the cheaper stuff is fine. I bought four HDMI cables for $10 on Amazon last year, $10 shipping, and set them up in my home theater. I have yet to plug/unplug since.

Or perhaps Netflix is really slow in developing this. I am still waiting for 5.1 sound through my PC (either browser plugin or Windows Media Center), X-Box 360, or LG Blue Ray player that has Netflix support and Netflix announced 5.1 streaming way back in Feb 2010 as being available later that year. Last I checked was currently PS3 only, on select titles.

I'd be happy with 2.1 at this point. Once you go .1, you don't go back.

Of building Mach 2+ airliners to fly from NY to LA if they make you show up 2 hours in advance for security checks. And then you get delayed again because its LaGuardia of course.

It seems the elephant in the room just farted.

An overview opinion here on next generation reactors http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704893604576198421680697248.html?mod=WSJ_hp_mostpop_read

It is mostly about rights. Studios are petrified of making a movie and then realizing someone else wrote the story (i.e. Coming To America). With such an orientation, what is safe?. That would be sequels (We made the last movie!), TV shows (we know who wrote those!), comic books (again, well established), toys (like Transformers) and in other cases there are well established people you just 'trust', authors like Stephen King, people like James Cameron and books like the Twilight series, Harry Potter, the works of JRR Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. All pre-vetted.

As cynical as I am, a hive mind would bring the understanding needed for previously unreachable levels of sympathy and social order.

Sure, and when some don't want to join the hive mind, then what? Social order must prevail of course!

Without a computer hooked onto your brain, how else would you be able to relate to a female computer and have sex with it? Duh.
