Google has deep enough pockets to effectively light a fire under the stagnant ISPs. If G-Fiber rolls out to enough cities, the inferior providers will have no choice but to up the ante.

Not buying it. "Science" is men and men see what they want to see. Period.

They went to the moon in your mind. It was a lot closer to home.

How many readers have the presence of mind to realize that this is a very bad development? I'm sure this is being offered (and accepted) as a "protection" but who presents a greater danger to you than anyone being able to watch you to this degree?

It is true that there is no substitute for a visionary but, that said, Apple has had its time in the sun and must, eventually, go the way of all ventures. So, as the sun sets on Apple's finest moments, they have little to fear as that plush pile of cash upon which they recline will provide many comfortable nights'…

Harsh. You should watch this.

America is not "behind", it is "beneath" as in "beneath the thumb of corporations". They well-know they could give us better speeds for less money but they have no incentive to since we're paying as much as we will for what they're doing now.

Great! Brilliant! Awesome! and Guaranteed to succeed— all phrases that will never be used with reference to this product.

Ridicule is not evidence but it gets you out of having to review any every time you resort to it, doesn't it? Pathetic.

Have you ever *seen* a magician saw a lady in half? No, I doubt, that you have. What you may have seen is an illusion whereby a man made it appear that he sawed a lady in half. How do you know? Had you *actually* witnessed a lady being sawn in half, there would be a lot of blood and screaming…right? So how does the…

You raise a valid point. Explosions with no fatalities probably shouldn't be on the "deadliest" list. That said, and in fairness to the author, the article is entitled "25 OF THE deadliest…" not "THE 25 deadliest…" That leaves wiggle room for the author to omit the crimes against humanity which you (also righty)…

Here's a theory that no one, heretofore, has postulated. What if Earth is the *first* planet that an "Intelligent Designer" has populated? Suddenly, we'd be all alone (in the part of the universe that is only 3-dimensional) and arrogance need not be factored in.

Bull$#!t. No trait can "evolve" to a purpose because "evolution", being nothing, cannot guide anything *to* anything, in particular. How convenient that "science" has working systems to point to and call evidence of "evolution" but all the same observations could be better explained by a superior intelligence…which…

Mi¢ro$oft finally has an idea that is both original *and* cool. I'm pissed. I think I'll just believe that they stole it from someone that I haven't heard of.

All of the foregoing rests upon the assumption that life just "develops". Science has not begun to explain the phenomenon—though most scientists would probably say that they're bound to. I trust you won't hold it against me if I don't hold my breath?

Q: "I don't know what level of progress to expect as being reasonable."

Science doesn't *know* that there are 17 billion "earth-like" planets so this is non-scientific and, therefore, religious. There is no knowing what is out there but *assuming* that there *must* be life planets because there is life here is an astonishing act of faith.

Will I still be able to download shows, commercial-free, and watch them on my jailbroken AppleTV2? Then why do I need "hyper-relevant" ads?

M$ft has been thinking about a tablet since the 90's and they have been hashing and rehashing FailOS even longer. Just face it: they suck. Gates stole Apple's ideas (well, Jobs did refuse to copyright/license it) and rushed it to market with one goal in mind. Profit. Now M$ft is stuck making software for money and…

Considering that all currency is fiat—backed by nothing—I submit that American money is no better than any other…no matter what color it is. That said, the one thing that the American dollar has going for it that is is backed by a government that will tell every lie, silence any dissent and stop at nothing short of…
