Why is the title in all caps? That looks tacky to me. But the content is spot on; far too many folks want to *look* like they're not being sexist/racist/etc. by treating everyone equally and ignoring individuality. Men and Women are different, neither is better than the other, but we can't pretend that everyone's alike as a quick way to satisfy our sense of morality.

All I want is the right to be able to use a fair portion of the electromagnetic spectrum for my personal use in a local area. But what is usable where is getting sold off to the highest bidder. This, I think, is the injustice. I don't get to play with high powered radios because the people want to watch Lost.

Submission + - Microsoft tablet "no thicker than sheet of glass" (pcpro.co.uk) 5

Barence writes: Microsoft will deliver a touchscreen PC that is "no thicker than a sheet of glass" within the next three years, according to the company's principal researcher. The device will be the next generation of Microsoft's Surface project, which currently houses a touchscreen PC in a deep cabinet that uses cameras to detect hand gestures and objects placed on the screen. According to Microsoft's Bill Buxton, "Surface will become no thicker than a sheet of glass. It’s not going to have any cameras or projectors because the cameras will be embedded in the device itself." Microsoft is developing a new screen technology to make this possible. "The best way to think about it is like a big LCD where there’s a fourth pixel in every triad. So there’s red, green, and blue pixels giving you light, and a fourth pixel which is a sensor that will capture stuff," Buxton claims in an interview with The Globe and Mail.
