they are lying dead on the ground from all the poisons they ingested from the grass they ate that was sprayed with weed killers. Also, is Google planning to let people walk on the grass afterwards? Look out for the goat turds (round pellets). Should make for some good pranks, though. Boston baked beans anyone? How about some fresh brewed coffee?

As others here have pointed out, by the time the craft gets to the targeted alien planet, the original researchers who implemented the idea of "telepresence" will have been dead a long time and those who are responsible at the time the craft gets there will be wondering "what the hell is that blinking red light for on that console".

Don't they know that cool people only drive their black cars at night???

Seriously, isn't ALL California cars supposed to be CFC free?

(Anybody else sick of this Democratic Party cram-down of legislation, day in and day out? I just want to live my life dammit.)

What video game shall we blame for Adolf Hitler's actions?

(Oh, that's right. VIDEO GAMES weren't invented yet!!!)

The human mind is the greatest weapon ever created, plain and simple. Because the German police have lost touch with reality and decided to be patrol officers instead of being active in their society, what that teenager did was ALLOWED to happen.

This makes me think of the old Star Trek episode - A Taste of Armageddon, where no actual fighting takes place but a computer determines the casualties on each side and then those number of people on each side have to enter a machine to be killed.

Soon, they'll be recording the images along with the sensations. They you'll be able to play it back into your head or somebody else's.

Could give new meaning to torture.

Seriously, this technology would help in solving some crimes.

That's probably only half the story. If there is a Baskin-Robbins attached to that Dunkin Donuts, it probably SMELLS like SOUR milk and OLD ice cream.

Seriously, what face recognition software are they talking about (and for what)?

I don't recall but someone once said, "We shall be enslaved by the machines we have made". If we can no longer smile for the camera because some face recognition software will fail, the machine is telling US what to do. Time to re-think all of this "mess".

Meanwhile, "You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile! You will become one with the Borg".

You forgot:

Drug user goes to rehab: counselors and doctors profit; and the owner of the facility profits

Looking at the picture of the Palm Pistol, what does it shoot? Air??? It looks more like a squeeze bulb. I doubt this would work, which makes it dangerous because it gives false hope to its user.

Who needs this headache; not me. I'm going back to IE.

As for the people who write these programs, they need to be PUT TO DEATH.

Seriously, if you want to steal from me, come to my house. I promise to make it a fair fight. ;)

So another game games out with SecureROM (or whatever it is). I won't be buying this game either then. Since this technology automatically suggests that I'm a potential pirate, an insult, I won't be buying it because only a fool would pay money to be insulted.

The game developers out there better get on the backs of the publishers using SecureROM (or whatever it is) to stop using it (or else).

Not true. Some people choose to be passive.

People Eating Tasty Activists

When I see an ad for a product inside a game it becomes a marketing.

This whole subject is stupid. Stick to entertaining and keep the marketing out. If you (game designer) don't want to follow the suggestions of your customers, I hope the next time you make it with your partner, they have the words, "Condom Depot.com" tatooed across their chest. Just so you know what it tastes like to have advertising mixed in with your entertainment. Chump.
