Kamikazes? More like heroes (but then again, that all definition depends on whether you're in the air or on the ground).

Actually, Apple didn't invent NFC.
In fact, what makes Apple the company they are now is not what they do, it's how they WAIT to release new features and functions until they're satisfied with it.
iPod: Rio came out with it first
iPad: Tablets have been around since the early 2000's
iPhone: Cell phones with touch functionality were around well before then (I still have my Treo sitting on my desk)
The same is for NFC; the technology has been in use for years in Europe and Asia. What's exciting with all these speculations is how Apple will choose to implement it.

It's the obvious solution to all problems and beats out genetics by a longshot since it's cleaner and purer. Why would anyone NOT be interested in what happened with nanotech 100 years from now other than the fact that it should be everywhere carefully cleansing the Earth and keeping it in a pristine state.

Hello. Is this thing on? [tap tap tap]
I've been away on assignment. I'm back now. If only for a while. I see the_mad_poster has disappeared. Anything else going on I should know about?

Another FAILURE has been found on Slashdot!!!! (Read the link first then come back here for fun)
1. Banning guns works better than not banning guns, because it keeps every fucking mouth breather who has seen Red Dawn once too many times from thinking he's an army of one.
Journal Journal: Just who is Twirlip of the Mists on /. ? 1
Wow. This just in. I think my agents in the field have figured out who Twirlip of the Mists really is! It makes complete sense! His self-professed arrogance. His unwillingness to see things any way other than his own way. His alluding to how he can't give away who he might be because it might be a bit compromising. I can no longer read anything by Twirlip of the Mists without hearing it in the Comic Book Guy's voice. That is why, fro
Journal Journal: Lord, it's time to *"lift the curtain" once more!! 2
Sounds like the folks on the right are all fired up about how their boy is fast losing favor. I wouldn't put it past the republican party to kill a few thousand Americans on U.S. soil to get their point across either. It's time to DO SOMETHING! Ain't it boys?! What do you want to bet "homeland security" will be "asleep at the wheel"? Or maybe it will be something that we couldn't have forseen? Yeah. Right.

As long as the Bush administration occupies the Whitehouse, we will continut to see more and more of this kind of thing. Remember to vote Bush out in November. Bush MUST be removed from power if this country is to be guided back from the darkness it is currently pursuing.
Journal Journal: Amazing 1
I've been officially compared (or is that contrasted?) with one of my idols Al Franken. What an honor! If only the AC knew my real identity. Of course, there's no point in telling anyone. But, it's just so humorous to imagine the reactions. However, I can't entertain the thought seriously because even the slightest hint could be a bit of a problem for me. Suffice it to say that I am quite pleased with the results of m
