What makes you think this will not be in the June release for the iPhone if Apple drops Google?

Google shot themselves in the foot by launching Android and I suspect Apple will make them pay for it by banning them as a native app from the iPhone.

I've always thought that people should be counted in the weight allowance instead of just luggage. A bit porky like me? You get to bring less stuff (or pay more for the same stuff). Properly obese? You get even less.

Muscle weighs more then fat.

So the muscle bound meathead steroid junkie will be caught out by this more then the morbidly obese.

Airport and Airline staff have enough to deal with already without having a dimwitted, arrogant, idiot with a serious inferiority complex hopped up on testosterone laced steroids upset because he's been thrown in with the fatties.

In fact, they shouldn't be sorting passengers at all.

Besides that it's a terrible idea for other reasons, it doesnt take into account height, most tall fit people I know weigh more then short fat people, Male vs Female, old vs young. There are too many factors for this to be effectively sorted out so it isn't just an extra charge which will be abused by the airlines.

Uh, it's not in the article and it's not in the summary, and Hubble's flaw had nothing to do with imperial/metric. That was a reference to Mars Climate Orbiter.

So, in short, fail.

I love the use of passive voice, instead of saying "I'm the one idiot who thinks the Hubble has anything to do with this story" you can say "one might have to wonder."

Who said anything about Hubble?

I thought the nook had the best set of features. It's backed by a large bookstore that can negotiate decent ebook pricing. It has wifi and 3G connectivity. It comes with an SD slot for memory expansion. And it also supports PDF and ePub, so you could easily roll your own eBooks or download public domain ones from Google Books.

I think it's actually a pretty big fail on the part of whoever drew the chart. At first glance, it appears that the Office revenue has gone down a lot in the past few months, but in fact it's just that Windows revenue has made the line much steeper. There are much better ways of presenting this kind of data.

Nixon was probably the last liberal President. Every one since then has shifted increasingly more conservative.

lets avoid making panic decisions, such as banning oil and coal, but we should be working towards that goal sooner than later regardless of how bad global warming is.

This is reasonable; but rare a green proponent goes that far. At the last AGW conference, for example, African countries just requested $67B "to mitigate the impact of global warming on the world's poorest continent", as they put it. That money will be paid by working people because only working people produce wealth. And this is just one example.

When there is smell of money in the air you'll be amazed how many con artists crawl out of the woodwork. Sure there are a few honest people who talk about valid issues, but their voices are not heard, drowned in the drumbeat. On every even week IPCC releases another dire prediction, and on every odd week this prediction is shown to be a fraud. At some point, perhaps, IPCC needs to either institute some quality control or to classify themselves as comedy performers.

No one is stopping those countries from burning wood to keep warm or cook their food.

Lucky you, not living in California. Here the government stops people from burning wood. New fireplaces and stoves are banned outright, and existing installations are prohibited from burning several days per winter. They justify this by wood smoke; I'd believe that if the restrictions only existed in cities; but no, they cover many counties, where you need a telescope to see a neighbor!

If we put more money into research we'll get answers sooner.

I agree about wars, they are a waste. However money does not guarantee a scientific breakthrough. Even if we somehow get to 100% efficiency of panels, it's only 1.3 kW/m2. It's not that much, considering night, winter, clouds. There are other problems too; on a large scale the panels will absorb more sunlight than before and will result in Earth getting warmer (this time for real.) In general, though, I believe solar energy will be successful - there are many lands that will benefit from the shadow (like deserts, for one.)

Nuclear plants in the USA were a bad word for decades. Fusion research gets plenty of money, but even if you shower the scientists with cash they won't think faster. Everything takes time; and if we look back, our science is expanding at amazing rate now.

Warner employs the songwriters (through Warner/Chappell) and the recording artists (through Warner Bros. Records and Atlantic Records).

One of my classmates is a prof there and uses the pattern matching software. The policy is pretty clear. So are the results. The prof sadly confesses the dean must suspend a couple students every year from his classes.

Please come to Canada Google with your fiber ISP goodness. Bell and Rogers need to be knocked on their ass. Google is likely the only one that can't bully out of the market also.

For a WorldNetDaily reader?

They sell help peddle penny stocks, "crisis seed banks," and one of their favorite talking heads literally suggested that we should invade nations, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity. If anything, WND readers are jealous of the Iranian theocracy.

Enjoy this great excuse to stop working from home!

Then we see the nonstandard characters like germanic eth, or weird diacritics.

You really need to subscribe to the mailing list. The rate of development is only growing -- it's just now moved on to a lot of smaller features and improvements, now that most of the work is already done.
