Forget working or web surfing while the car drives you somewhere... why even be conscious and have to remember the time it takes to get somewhere?

I want self-driving sleeper cars.

Everywhere within 8 hours drive would be just a night's sleep away. Get off work on Friday, sleep, wake up in some mid-point town with a dozen friends from different cities, party for the weekend, as I sleep Sunday night the car gets me back to where I work.

Numerous social and economic knock-on effects follow from self-driving sleeper cars.

An interesting conjecture, but wouldn't anything using reaction drives light itself up quite nicely when it moved around? That is one of the conclusions over at Atomic Rockets.

Try AppBrain. It gives you online searching, an install queue, and user defined lists (which I find quite useful for managing possibilities/recommendations I might want to try later).

Largest app store by an order of magnitude (i seldom pay for anything, tons of free stuff available that do what I want)

Just to be a bit pedantic, "order of magnitude" is false. Android's Market has about 66000 applications, Apple's App Store has something just over 200000. So about three times larger. Three times is not an order of magnitude.

Hey, how is Jolicloud? I tried to run it on in virtual machine to try it out and something in the install hung up past my desire that day to look into it. What's your first hand review?

Extreme love of Jailbreakers?

It's a pity the advertisers won (at least they seem to have done so at the moment) the race against micropayments for how to fund "progress" on the web. Great swaths of the web falling into TV2 type drivel seems almost inevitable now. [This comment brought to you by Folgers.]

"Potanets"

Wouldn't it make the problem easier if the towels had some corner highlighting and a pattern to show the orientation? Then the company that sells you the towel folding robot can be sure to have a towel customer for a while.

Very good. Thank you. Can hardly wait till all the Frontlines ever are there.

Can you imagine the scale of the machinery this battery is supposed to be powering?

Something like this?

But they also can't be sued for transmitting child porn and such because they claim to be "common carriers" like you can't sue the phone company for allowing people to talk about terrorism on the phone. Once they filter traffic, they might be on the hook when people do illegal things over their networks.
