"If you think about Android, it's more like the Windows PC model. The operating system comes from company A. Company B is doing some integration work, and maybe the services come from yet somewhere else. I think we know the kind of customer experience that produces."

Did you not notice "I'm probably wrong on that" in my comment? Again, the point was to see how far the flight attendant would take the argument and if she would make me pull the battery out of the phone. Also, it's been over 5 years since I've used the Treo, and longer than that before the incident described above. …

I thought it was funny, until I read your comment. Then I realized you were probably joking, and I laughed again, until I realized you could have been serious, and I cried.

The headblocks are there and the head strap, but not the chin strap. All of those are used for trauma, even if it's only suspected. The problem is that we don't know when this picture was taken. His C-spine might have already been cleared by the local emergency room doctor and it's just a matter of time before the…

This makes me remember when I was on a business trip overseas and I had my Palm Treo 700P on my lap. The flight attendant made sure to ask me to turn off the phone. I had put it on airplane mode, but if I remember correctly, there was no way to shut off the phone without pulling the battery. I'm probably wrong on…

Have you ever noticed the signs in a hospital to turn off your cell phone in certain areas, like the ICU? Have you ever ignored that sign? Most people ignore that sign, too. I saw a doctor who ignored the sign once while standing next to an ICU patient on a ventilator while he was using his cell phone. Without…

Nitrous is the only "drug" I've ever willingly taken for fun. It can be dangerous if you don't know how to do it right, but if you do, oh man, it's a gas. The beauty of it is how fast the effect vanishes. You can party like a rock star, and minutes later, safely make a run for the border and some nachos. Awesome!

It ticks me off when people say the Earth if fraked. There's nothing wrong with this planet. Period. Now, if you want to talk about humanity, that's a different story. Humanity, and the way we operate on this planet is quite possibly doomed. We can't keep up this exponential growth of little humans forever. …

I'm so sorry you experienced all that torment. I also understand that it made you who you are today, which is probably a great person. Personally, I was about as geeky a kid as you could get. I ate, lived, and breathed, science, science fiction, and everything geeky from the 70's and 80's. I was most certainly…

Some people feel that understanding the quantum world leads to a better understanding of God. Just based on what I know so far of quantum physics, that might mean God is certifiably crazy. ;-)

Hey, you don't know that about a radioactive spider. Just because it hasn't happened yet, or we don't know about it yet, doesn't mean it won't happen in real life. Gamma rays though... no, couldn't happen. I'm still open minded about the spider. ;-)

I agree that it's an unproven theory, but then again, there are many many theories involving black holes which are unproven. I was merely cherry picking a favorite theory and vomiting it here. And yes, by the theory, when the one particle becomes real at the expense of the black hole, the black hole loses energy,…

Full disclosure: I am a creationist.

Angry much?

I have the TF201, Prime, and I've never had any issues with my wifi. The GPS doesn't work, but they've supposedly fixed that with the 700 series. I would highly recommend the 700 as a main tablet, seeing that it's basically and upgraded 201.

I'll buy if you fly...

I understand the confusion that not even light escapes from a black hole, but technically, that's not true. A singularity can produce and emit particles. This emission ultimately reduces its mass and energy. Cheers...

Obviously, it wasn't a joke. In reality, it was a combination of sarcasm and irony regarding North Korea and their press. Their press publishes all sorts of things they expect the whole world to believe. I'm sure their own people believe it, but the rest of the world seems to understand that much of what North…

While I appreciate the loyalty everyone has for the Nexus line of tablets, or any of the other tablets, for that matter, the Asus Transformer tablets are amazing devices to have. I have several different 7" tablets, and I love them for reading, light browsing, and a few games. For real work, the Transformer is the…

Apparently, this missing sense of humor isn't centered over North Korea only.
