Call me crazy, but I would think a vehicle would have to be traveling at an angle greater than 45 degrees off its center-line to call its direction of travel sideways as anything less than that would be mostly forward. I especially liked how the article provided a picture suggesting 90 degree travel, despite describing 30 degrees as the maximum.

I propose a signaling device that creates an information interface to personal computer users by representing coded data as lighted dots on a panel that are arranged to recreate both text and multimedia images. I have just submitted this concept to the patent office, which makes it patent pending, so if you choose to use such an interface you had better pay me a royalty.

Class Actions are like unions. They serve a purpose, keeping the corporate bosses honest, but have grown wildly out of control and benefit the people that run them much more than the people they represent.

The sad truth of it is that the poor lawyers probably did not get any thumb drives at all and had to make due with nothing more than millions of dollars for their trouble.

Shouldn't that read "Fusion Rocket Could Blow Us To Mars". No, I did not RTFA. Who has time for that.

My point exactly.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. When are we as a society going to wake up and enact a ban on building those little ships in bottles while driving? I can't think a of more unsafe practice. It's high time we put a stop to this and every other specific distraction that could feasibly occur while driving. Who is with me on this!?! Call your congressman today. No building bottle ships while driving!!!

Your statement would be correct if the gas engine couldn't work without the offshore oil rig connected to it. As it is, though, your analogy is crap.

had to be recharged for eight hours after every two to three hours of driving.

Man that's a long freakin road trip!

It's really up to the marketing department what they price it for in each market, but I agree that if they price it like that, it is too much. They will likely use the UK launch as market research before they decide on a US price. IMHO it needs to be at least 20% less than the iPad or almost no one will buy it.

No they mean this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Galaxy-Device-Cortex-Android/dp/B0042D75TU/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=computers&qid=1284729976&sr=8-10

Doesn't every major auto maker offer mobile hot spots on 2010 models? What is so different about this?

You've accidentally stumbled onto OLPC's evil plot. Get them addicted to technology so they will stay ignorant and subservient to the western world forever. Oh, what was that? They self report glowing results? How convenient. Fwa... Ha... Ha... Haaa.

Dude, we know there is ice on Mars. They already found the ancient Martian reactor that turns it into oxygen.
